Creativity  "Hollywood Called"
Conditional Remix & Share Permitted
CC BY-NC-SA
Rating
0.0 stars

Project: The students were given the task to write a narrative story. Grade 3/4’s theme was adventure and the grade 5/6’s theme was mystery. We had covered the two writing traits - Ideas and Organization and therefore that was our focus for this writing task. Students took their stories through the writing process and included a hand drawn cover page for their published story. Hollywood then called and was looking to turn their stories into a big screen production. We kicked this excitement off with a PowerPoint presentation sharing the details of their assignment. Students used the iMovie app to create movie trailers
promoting their stories. We hosted a red carpet event – Kenaston Golden Globes where we viewed all of the movie trailers and a variety of awards were handed out. The day was full of excitement with everyone dressed up in their formal wear. Popcorn and drinks were served during the movie premier. Everyone was pleased to receive a Golden Globe Award.

Grade 4- Communication Tool Creation
Conditional Remix & Share Permitted

Rating
0.0 stars

Summary:
In our split grade of fours and fives, we completed a unit on communication where the
students learned about the different forms of communication: decoders and decoding, signs and symbols, non-verbal communication, First Nations’ oral communication, and the history and evolution of communication. Once we had covered these areas, the summative assignment asked the students to creatively make a new communication tool that may be found in the future.

21st Century Creativity:
This project explored creativity in many ways: to begin, the students created secret messages
for each other and for me; later, they created symbols and signs to indicate something such as a hazard or a danger. Finally, the communication tool project gave the students an opportunity to imagine something never before created that could be used to communicate or to take a tool used today and adjust it in a new way to improve communication.

If You’re Not from the Prairie- Cross Curricular Grade 4
Conditional Remix & Share Permitted

Rating
0.0 stars

This unit integrates ELA and Arts Ed Outcomes in the hopes of the students being able to show what they know through the use of the text, “If You’re Not From the Prairie”.

2. Opening activity: Give students the line “If You’re Not From the Prairie”…. In partners, have students generate a list of things that are unique to Saskatchewan. Encourage them to think of something the other groups will not have on their lists. Post these lists. After reading “If You’re Not From the Prairie”, compare the student-generated lists to the ideas mentioned in the poem. Check off how many student ideas were included in the poem. (Could make it a competition, depending on the class, and have a ‘Saskatchewan' for the pair of students with the most ideas included in the poem)
