After reading the chapter in Silverwing called the Echo Chamber, three of the students from room 308 created a newspaper to tell us a bit about what we learned in the chapter.

Please look at their work and reflect on the chapter or their newspaper.  What did you think of while reading the chapter?  Do you agree with the information they decided to write about?  Would you have added anything?  Do you have different thoughts about the chapter after reading the newspaper?  What else are you thinking of after the chapter?

Mr. Strachan spent some time looking at our Tree Haven chapter poster.  He has found a few things about Silverwing as well.  Here is what he wrote, what do you think?

I found an interesting webpage located at…

http://www.silverwing.ca/covergallery.htm

It shows cover pictures of Silverwing published in other countries. When I saw this page I immediately began wondering why the pictures were all different? I thought, how do the pictures differ or how are the same? I wonder why they are all drawn in different ways in different countries. That’s a real puzzler!

The students in room 308 work collaboratively to create a summary and reflection of the second chapter in our novel Silverwing.  

Using SMARTideas they first decided what the important parts of the chapter were.  Once we had finished finding the main ideas the students then had to decide how they were going show what they had learned.  With the choice of several options the class voted on creating a poster.  The students all chose different parts of the poster and quickly started!  In only a few days they had created a great poster which shows the main parts of the story, our favourite parts, the characters and a reflection.  Some students wrote while other created the background.  Everyone worked very well together.

Your answer for these questions have been great so far.  Please go back to last week’s questions and respond to the comments I left you on your answer (I would like everyone to do this).

There is only one question this week and you can use what we have been working on in class the last few weeks to help you.  Along with how you found your answer (can be written in English), please write in French what the pattern is.

Sheldon discovered a new health drink, Slime Tonic, while working in his laboratory.  On Monday he brewed one bottle of tonic. On Tuesday, he brewed 4 bottles; on Wednesday, he brewed 7; and on Thursday, he brewed 10. How many bottles did he brew on Friday? How many bottles did he brew the next Tuesday?

I like this picture because the bat is small.

This picture is neat because it is on someone’s finger.

This picture is cool because it is a baby.

This picture is very cool because it is huge and very fast and super strong.

The bat has a super long wing span and I think it is a teenage bat and I think it is flying very high in the sky.

This bat is awesome because it can fly in pitch black.

 

I love the stalagmites.

I like this because its dark but light.

I think its a bat cave.

I dont know what the light is at the bottom.

Maybe its TreeHaven.

 This picture is my favourite because it is cute.

 I like this picture because the bat is flying. The bat maybe was hunting but not now.

Now the bat is going home.  

I like this picture because the bat has red wings and it’s big. I think this picture is of a bat flying back from hunting. This bat is cool because it looks like it is high in the clouds but it’s not.
