Sharing our Culture!

Grade 5A have been sharing their cultures through literature in the classroom. All of the class were asked to bring a story/book/text that relates to their own culture in some way. They were paired up and had seven minutes each to share their own story and why it relates to them and their culture. They then had five minutes for a question and answer session.

There were so many different kinds of stories and each child had interpreted the task differently. It was great to hear all the inquiries that they were making.

Lastly, we played a game with the new ball that meant we could share facts and opinions about the different stories! The ball ensures that everyone gets the chance to speak and that they are the only person speaking at that time. Who knew that a simple foam ball could make participating so fun?!
