Unit of inquiry:
 Today we reviewed what the three main focuses of media are 1) to inform the audience 2) to persuade/convince the audience 3) to entertain the audience. We then talked about the difference between fact and opinion. Fact - Is proven to be truth, evidence is available to support the statement. Opinions refer to a particular person's (or group's) feeling, thought, judgment, belief, estimate, and/or anything that is not 100 percent true and can't be proven. We then played a game where we had to figure out if the statement was fact or opinion. Students can play at home too: http://pbskids.org/arthur/games/factsopinions/

Language:
Students in grade one: Began a Halloween writing activity on creating their own monster. Students used a graphic organizer to use adjectives to describe the monster's eyes, hair, nose, mouth, body, arms, face, etc.

Students in grade two: finished the graphic organizer for their toy ads, they also created a picture of their toy.
