Hattie - Unedited! and First Day of FSA's

Hey guys,

I know it was awhile ago, and I know it didn't work out quite how we planned, but I hate leaving something unfinished.  So, I put this video together on the weekend.  You were all such amazing guinea pigs for this experiment.  I learned that this project is a bit bigger than we really have time for in a regular schedule, so I probably won't try it again, but I'm glad we will have this as a funny memory.  Yes, this video will probably reappear in your lives in the year 2020.  :)

I'm sorry it doesn't have everybody in it, but I tried to keep it under 15 minutes.  I think it will be quite amusing to you.  ENJOY!

Hattie - Unedited! 


Today we write our first FSA.  It is the reading comprehension test.  Read carefully.  Go back and forth from the text to the question to help check your answers.  Use common sense!  Think like the test makers.  They are always pro environment and pro Native.  Choose answers that put these 2 topics in a favourable light.  If you don't know an answer, use the process of elimination.  Remove the least likely answers first so you have less to choose from.  

After you finish this test, please look at this video that prepares you for the visit from the author, Sigmund Brouwer.  By the way, I have ordered the books, Broken Angel and The Last Disciple as well as The Orphan King .   They should be here by Wednesday.  

I'm super excited about meeting Sigmund Brouwer on Feb. 25th.  

Sigmund Brouwer Introduction   - once you get to this web page, scroll down and watch the video that says it is for Grades 6 and Up.  

If you liked that, you may want to watch some other ones of him.  Here is one from his novel, Devil's Pass that Brian is reading right now.  



Here is his book trailer of The Orphan King:
