EVENT INFORMATION: Pair up with another class in Alberta! Your students will have a great time while integrating Math, Language Arts and Art into their projects! Monster Match: Easter Bunny Edition is a DESCRIPTIVE WRITING EXCHANGE, involving Language Arts, Mathematics and Art curricular links. Students will use this collaborative opportunity to practice writing, measure and follow directions.
BEFORE THE VC:
1. Create the Monster/Easter Bunny
Students will be asked to write a very detailed description of a bunny (using words, colours and measurements). Their bunny can be two-dimensional - drawn and coloured on a large piece of paper, or three-dimensional - using cardboard boxes and other materials easy to find in a classroom. They will then be asked to create this bunny to show what the end result SHOULD look like.
2. Exchange Descriptions
Teachers are now asked to send the students' bunny descriptions to their partner classes. When you receive the description of your partner students' bunnies, your class must work to assemble or draw an accurate bunny that matches the description you have received.
VC AGENDA:
5 minutes Introductions
20 minutes Revealing Answers
10 minutes Identify Similarities and Differences
