3: Student work showcase
Over the last few weeks the Grade 4 class has been preparing for a class Debate! They learned how a debate is conducted, researched a topic, and held their debate yesterday. They invited Mr. Brandon and Ms. Danica to evaluate their performance and give feedback. All the students did a great job!
4: Understanding the PLG learning goals
Our PLG for this month is Communicator. This goal focuses not just on how students share information, but also on keeping a focus on positive communication. The IPC and IMYC Learning Goals challenge students to show their communication skills in the following ways:
Being able to make their meaning clear through both verbal and non-verbal tools. This could be demonstrated through conversation but also through gestures, art work, facial expressions, etc.
When using any form of social media or online platform, students understand how to use these positively and communicate in a fair and open manner.
Students should always consider the impact on others that their chosen method of communication may have.
When communicating with others, students meaning should always be clear.
To support skills in being International Learners, students can apply different languages depending on the context.
