The Gr.7/8 students from Mrs.Chan's class wrote and illustrated picture books based on their Language unit, Analyzing Text, targeted towards 5-8 yr old readers. Themes ranged from caring for the environment, to courage in the face of bullying, to keeping your messy room clean! They then paired up for Reading Buddies with students from the community class, Ms.Rozen's kindergarten class, Ms. Rawji's Gr.3's and Mr.Barlow's Gr.1/2s to share their stories.
This engaging activity allowed the older students to learn about the reading process: how young students learn to read, what topics they enjoy most, and how to more actively engage younger students.
The picture books have been laminated and bound, and will be on display in the library to share with the school community.
