We started our 2016 goals activity and tomorrow we will finish the poster. Tomorrow will also be the introduction to our soapstone unit. You will be learning some background information as well as choosing the animal or subject you wish to carve. Here are some examples of carvings done in the past. (My mother/daughter is my favourite) Here is the one I want to do this year. Now that you have read your classmate's 100 word write and practised giving peer feedback, choose the one paragraph that you thought met the Learning Intention best. Post the name of the paragraph that was the most descriptive and give an example.
Homework/Reminders: Math - gr. 6 -Multiplication and Division Practice Test Ms. Wilson - pg 104-105 Q#2,3,4,5,9 100WC - Week #1 - share your story with your parents tonight and ask for feedback. Read your peer feedback and decide if it is following the THINK criteria. Blogger - Set it up at home if it did not work at school - email me with your blogger address when you have success - check if it has access to the public so I can read it without requesting permission. Click on the settings and scroll down to the bottom to see if it set on public.

I really liked gyma5st's paragraph because she used very descriptive words like luscious, ambrosial, shimmery,rooted,and grasped. She did very well! Everyone had a great write though! If I could I would pick like 3 or 4 more :) For everyone that commented on my write saying and asking how it related to the cpcake my thinking was the 'cinnamon stick' (or whatever it was) had looked like a fallen tree to me. That's how I got the idea! I just wanted to clarify that for the people who were wondering. :) Quote of the day: "Everything isn't always going to go your way. If you make a mistake don't regret it, because one day you're gonna look back and say "I made a mistake but I learned to live with it and go along with life anyways."~Tyler (me) Have a great night everyone!

I think I agree with Tyler Oakley, Gym5st's was really good and had a lot of descriptive language, for example she used ambrosial.

The math question: 0.673+5.38-1.730=? I enjoyed reading Tyler Oakley's write, she used lots of descriptive words such as broad, muscular, puncturing and grunt. And I could visualize the images. I like how she describes what happened in a different way, for example instead of saying I've been cut down she says I slowly fall into my permanent sleep. I thought her story was unique and original because I would've never thought of a tree when I look at the picture but I see where she got that idea from. When I was reading through the stories I liked that everyone has a different thought of the picture, it was very interesting. :)

I think Rainbow Walrus won the prize because she included a generous amount of detail such as ' Working until their hands blistered and their knees wanted to buckle.' She did a job well done and it also goes to all of my peers too!

I enjoyed reading Simba's story. I could really picture the whole story because she described the weather and where the story took place. Additionally, Simba used words like 'eery' to add detail to the object/story. I thought she had a really terrific story overall!

I like Rainbow Walrus's. Hers was AMAZING. Such powerful descriptive words brought out in ways I cant explain. It made me have a great picture in my head. I really like your quote at the end. It showed a good lesson. Your a very good writer Rainbow Walrus. What I had judged about you turned out to be something way more different and something truly amazing. GOOD JOB! Hope you get in. Your hands must have blistered writing this and head must ache.

I vote Soccer Monkey because they used lots of descriptive language, had a good hook, good idea for a story, and just really made me want to publish it and sell for 10$ a page.
