Design Process - Creating a Multimedia Infographic

Ecosystems make up the world around us. Though they all have abiotic and biotic features, these features vary depending on the temperature, climate and precipitation levels of the area. There are also other types of ecosystems - even some that live inside of us! How else does that food break down in your stomach?!

For this unit's design process, we are going to take a closer look at the microorganisms found in ecosystems. Our goal will be to learn more about a specific microorganism and teach others about. Because they can be helpful or harmful to humans,  it's purposeful to learn and teach others about it!

We will share our learning by creating a "ThingLink". This online tool not only serves as a place to gather information, but its also a great way to present information. We will be sharing our creations with each other and during student-led conferences.

Asking good questions and using scientific vocabulary will continue to be our focus. I am excited to learn from you!  Let the researching begin!




To create your own account, you need to go to ThingLink and log in.  I will provide you with a password and username.  Don't lose your info!


Now that you have an idea of how "Thinglink" works, start brainstorming.  What do you want to learn more about? What questions can you come up with? How many questions will be enough? What is the most important thing you want to share with others?

Les trois petits cochons 2018-19

Wow! What a great start to the year! Students in 7DEF have done a phenomenal job on their "Les trois petits cochons" videos! By reading and performing the play we are becoming more familiar with the rhythm of the French language.  This will help us as we continue to build our reading, writing and speaking skills this year! We invite you to check out our videos and leave a comment below!

Spend More Time Outside!

One goal I have as a teacher this year is to bring my students outside to learn as much as possible.  Recently, I had the opportunity to take a few students to FortWhyte Alive to do just that. We spent the day at FortWhyte learning about Lake Winnipeg's watershed and how the lake's health depends on so many people.

We are currently working on thank you cards to let hem know just how much we appreciated the day! Check out the link above to see us in action!
