ACTIVITY:
In order to develop an understanding of figurative language in literature, students are introduced to the HAIKU, a Japanese form of poetry.
PROJECT: POSTER
In order to develop an understanding of how language has changed over time, students are engaged in a family research project. Students look at how their own language has changed over time, how language has changed for their parents and grandparents, how language changes as they change where they live, and if language itself has caused change in the family unit.
