Narrative Non-Fiction

This week we are exploring the genre of Narrative Nonfiction.

We have been comparing fiction text, nonfiction text and narrative nonfiction text by looking at the author's purpose, synthesizing the main idea and looking for important text features.

MATH

Today we finished a math word problem with multi-steps:

Ask me which strategies I used and how I decided to show my work?

Art 

Last week we started Shape Art. We will finish this art this week.

First we drew as many shapes as we could, overlapping and filling as much of the white space on the paper as we could. We had the choice of using tracers or finding objects in the room to trace or using rulers to draw our own shapes. 

We then used pastel and crayon to fill in or shapes with colours. We had the choice to using a monochromatic colour scheme or using as many colours as we wanted. 

This week we will finish by outlining with a paint marker. If we have white space left in the background we will also be doing a quick paint wash with an opposite colour. The crayon and pastel will resist the paint and the white spaces will be nicely filled in. Using an opposite colour will make our art POP!
