We’ve mentioned already that there’s a lot of money in media and a huge chunk of that money is spent on trying to get you to do something – buy something, vote a certain way, change a behavior. How does advertising work? And what’s the difference between advertising, public relations, and propaganda? We’re going to talk about all that and more today.
Students will create an infographic to share knowledge and data about an issue or science topic they are studying.
Identity is a major focus of the grade 6 curriculum both in ELA and in Arts Ed. therefore I wanted to create a project that could be incorporated into both subjects.
Project: The students were given the task to create an infographic that would represent themselves – a bio that includes their personal values and opinions. I invited Arlene Low into the class to introduce the project and explain what infographics are.

You're in a movie theater, watching the new horror flick. The audience knows something that the main character does not. The audience sees the character's actions are not in his best interest. What's that feeling -- the one that makes you want to shout at the screen? Christopher Warner identifies this storytelling device as dramatic irony.
Topic: Mysteries of the Human Brain and Imagination Before: As an introduction to the project, we looked at a variety of fiction and non-fiction literature selections related to the topic of the human brain and imagination. Students then could choose a topic from what we had studied in class or choose one of their own related to the human brain and imagination to create an inquiry project on.
Pobble365 helps to keep students writing. Every day, Pobble365 provides a weird, wonderful, and/or thought provoking image to spark ideas for discussions and writing. It is free and along with a different idea-inspiring image every day, Pobble365 provides a story starter, discussion questions, as well as sentence challenges and “sick sentences” to build language skills. If students don’t have online access, images and writing supports can be printed and photocopied.
The activities include a prompt, sentences stems, vocabulary bank, questions, and challenges to help you scaffold your lesson.

From Ditch That Textbook
"Interactive notebooks have taken lots of classrooms everywhere by storm. The idea: a central space where students can create, write and make meaning.
When they’re done well, students get that spark of excitement. Learning goes to a different level.
When they’re done poorly, it becomes worksheets glued to pages.
Interactive notebooks don’t have to go in paper notebooks, though.
This is why we've partnered with Matt Miller and Ditch that Textbook to give you a digital interactive notebook made in Canva that incorporates EduProtocols. It's a win-win!"

"Guided by the International Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination, the International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination recognizes that the injustices and prejudices fueled by racial discrimination take place every day. Observed annually on March 21, it commemorates the day police in Sharpeville, South Africa, opened fire and killed 69 people at a peaceful demonstration against apartheid "pass laws" in 1960."
This site from the Government of Canada explains the day, racial discrimination, provides tips to fight racism, provides as history of racism in Canada, and provides a digital toolkit.
This week, Stan Muller teaches you how intellectual property law functions internationally. Like, between countries. Well, guess what. There's kind of no such thing as international law. But we can talk about treaties. There are a bevy of international treaties that regulate how countries deal with each others' IP. The upside is that this cooperation tends to foster international trade. The downside is, these treaties tend to stifle creativity by making it harder to shorten copyright terms. You win some, you lose some.
