3321/ mw/ presentation #2

Today's presentations touched on some very significant issues, integrity and fascism. The first group spoke about Chinese fairytales and told the story of "The Empty Pot" I had read this story before but really liked how this group presented it to the class. It was very interactive and teaching the subject of integrity would help children to make good decisions for them. The second group spoke about another difficult subject, the civil war. They did a read aloud of the book "Pink and Say". It was a very poignant story that has a line "This is the hand that shook the hand of the man that shook the hand of the President". It is a hard subject and this story is a good way to expose children to the problems faced in the civil war.

I loved the 1^st groups presentation about "Why the Sun and the Moon Live in the Sky". I really enjoyed their performance and wanted the skit to continue. The milk jug masks were amazing! You all did an amazing job with your presentation. You should really show other teachers how to make the milk jug masks. Group 2 had a very informative presentation about recycling. I liked the poster for separating the recyclables. This would be very easy to use in the classroom and very beneficial to our earth.

For my persuasive piece of my multi-genre project I will be making a poster of which clothes you should wear for the different seasons. I want to make it a centers type project that children can interact with.
