The sophomore history class learned about propaganda posters during their WWII unit. They had the chance to be creative and persuasive in convincing people to join the army during the war. Questions to ask: What is propaganda? Why did you choose to make your propaganda poster? Were propaganda posters successful?
For the past few weeks, the kindergarten students have been learning how to be authors and illustrators by writing their own stories. They’ve discussed 5 ways to make a good sentence. They've learned what nouns, plural nouns, verbs, and adjectives are. They've talked about synonyms and antonyms. Have discussed the beginning, middle, and end of stories and how they help the story make sense. While talking about the beginning, middle, and end, they have been comparing it to a rollercoaster; they've even been able to “ride” one during the writing process!
