The grade 8s are heading towards the end of their current unit based on the novel, “The Outsiders”, by S.E. Hinton. Last week, 2 of their peers engaged them in learning activities about the conflicts in the novel. The activity they particularly enjoyed was “Hot Seat” where a student had to answer Yes or No questions as a character in the novel.
This Thursday, 3 classmates led activities based on understanding plot and setting. Activities ranged from playing Kahoot! to “Hot Seat” again and acting out the main plot point.
The grade 8 students always enjoy the activities run by their peers on Thursdays as these are creative for them and comes from someone like them.
