First, we studied fairytales and fractured fairytales. We learned about the elements of each story and compared them. During the learning process students were practicing a variety of reading comprehension strategies: predicting, inferring, compare and contrast, main idea, theme etc. After learning about all the elements of fractured fairytales my students took their shot at writing them. They were split into partners based on the fairytale that they wanted to fracture. Then they had to work through the five stages of the writing process. First, the partners had to plan their fractured fairytale. They were given the choice of what kind of graphic organizer to use to begin their planning and brainstorming. They had to plan their plot, setting, problem and solution. Then the students worked through the rough draft, editing and revising stages of the writing process. Throughout those phases they were completing self-assessment checklists to keep on track with their work. Lastly, they wrote a good copy of their fractured fairytale and illustrated it. This also included a cover page and a back page. The back page included a teaser to hook the reader.

I have been doing expert writing with the older students for a few years now as an independent English Language Arts project while I am working with the younger students. However, I have been disappointed with the variety and creativity in presentations. I give them a list of possible formats and they choose the topic they are interested in researching and how they want to present what they have learned. Only 1 or 2 have been brave enough to deviate from the traditional written report, or poster. My plan was to do a variety of creativity projects from the Destination Imagination series to foster creativity and get them in the right frame of mind before doing their projects. I insisted that they had to choose a format other than a written report, or poster.

"Humor, goofiness, joy, fun — these were actually vital to developing a creative classroom culture. When I taught middle school, we had a wordplay wall at the back with ridiculously bad dad jokes (things like “fire drill” and “slow jams” and “graduated cylinder”). We had Easter Eggs hidden throughout the classroom. We had our own version of a Rick Roll. If someone asked you to “share a link,” you had to “Cher a link” instead, sending them to a music video from Cher. "
This excellent resource includes videos, and some reading. It's very engaging - and fun! It's all about bringing joy to your classroom - which happens to spark community, creativity and foster risk taking! Win win win!

What is Genius Hour? Genius Hour is a set amount of time for students to create projects based on their passions and interests, research a deeper level of their passion, and finally present on their own learning.
How We Introduced Genius Hour: 1. Show Pep talk video and introduce Genius Hour (see link) 2. Start with what is your passion? – that is all (Students think first then add a post-it telling me their passion) 3. How can we turn your passion into a project? Students write ideas and conference with me. 4. Once they all have projects, the time is their own. One hour every 6 day cycle to work on project. (Can be more than one project; if they finish the first, they come up with another) 5. The less rules the better (mine have to present at a Genius Fair (like a science fair) and have visuals for their table when done their project

In partners, students researched, illustrated, and recorded a section of our classroom digital storybook about First Nations way of living. Students worked with a partner to research a topic given to them about the Plains First Nations. Various topics such as hunting techniques, transportation, homes, food, clothing, education, recreation, and religion were assigned to the partners to research. Students wrote jot notes using a graphic organizer. Once they finished their research they wrote a descriptive paragraph on their topic. Each partner was then responsible to illustrate a picture that would represent their paragraph that they wrote. Once students had typed up their good copy of their paragraphs, and finished their illustrations they spilt up their paragraph to decide who would read what part. Students rehearsed reading their paragraphs out loud to each other before they recorded their voices on the IPad. As each group was ready to record they then used the IPad to take a picture using the camera of their illustration and uploaded it into the app. Students then recorded their voices using the app.
