Heritage Projects
For the past month we have been working hard learning about our heritage...where are we from? Our parents helped us with our homework! The gave us the first bits of information we needed -our countries of origin; our language; interesting facts about our countries; and some traditional foods!
From there we went to the library, and with the help of Ms. Nijjar, we did some research using books and the computers. We learned about note-taking and citing sources. We learned about taking the information we read and summarizing it in our OWN words.
When we had all the information we needed, we went through the writing process - planning, drafting, revising, editing, and finally publishing!
Last week, we were finally ready to share our work with our classmates. In small groups each of us had the chance to teach our friends a little bit about our heritage! This was such a powerful and proud moment! Well done everyone!
