Creating Our Own Characters!

3/29/2023

As we have been reading our novels over the past few weeks, we have spent some time looking at characters and their characteristics and I hope that you’re starting to notice that each character has their own story, background, things they like and don’t, and their own personality. These characters are written that way by the author.  
Today it’s your turn, you get to develop a character that you will use in a few future blog posts. For your post this week:
Create your own character that you will use in a story one day. For this character, they must have: 
  • a name
  • a favourite food
  • 3 personality traits (e.g. funny or humble)
  • a flaw (something that can create conflict - always getting angry at sunshine)
  • how would they react in a difficult situation (e.g. they didn’t do their homework)

Write down all of these things in your post below. When you’ve done that, write a paragraph from their perspective as they start their first day of grade 5. I’m so excited to see the characters that you create!

World Water Day!

3/23/2023

This week we had such a neat opportunity to learn from The Water Brothers, who have an amazing program on TVO that showcases worldwide as well as local issues with water.  They showcased why water is important, some of the problems with water and some solutions that we can focus on to help the future. For your blog post this week, I want each of us to make some promises, set some goals and actually do something.
Here’s the challenge:  For your post
  • Research on the dive deeper section of the water brothers website
  • Set 1 goal for yourself with regards to water.  Be specific about what goal you are working towards and when you want to achieve it by.
  • Write about one thing that you’ve done to consume less water this week.

My Dream Vacation!

Soon it will be March break and this is a great chance to take a rest, take some time to recharge and get geared up for the last push of your grade five year! One way some people like to recharge is to go on a trip or an adventure. This week, for your blog post, your challenge is to describe your DREAM adventure. For your post, you should say where you want to go, what you would see there, what you would do and describe it. Perhaps your ideal trip is skiing in the mountains of BC or perhaps it’s going to a beach in Tahiti. No matter where you would like to go, take some time to describe it so we can understand why this is your dream vacation!
