Classroom Lessons

After watching the short video clip located in my last blog post the students in my class were asked to write and submit a short summary.  Here are a few summaries.  Students are learning to read, write and demonstrate media awareness!

Basketball Story Video

I think that the basketball story was about the St. Catherine’s School learning to play basketball and then playing against other schools.

A girl from the St. Catherine’s school named Catherine gives Truedell their thanks. Truedell played a part in the bball story by raising money to bring a bball to Africa.

The team won all 5 games and they played by working together, being positive, and believing that anything is possible!

My Africa Journal!

The basketball team at St.Catherine`s school in Africa was sponsored by our school Truedell. We raised enough money for the team to get a dirt packed court and hoops and wooden backboards  and a few basketballs. They made it to the finals with many hard fought victories. Catherine, their announcer, was helping her team by cheering them on with little updates. She mentioned our school and Kingston Impact. St.Catherine`s school won the finals in first place and had lots of fun playing basketball. They are going to have a cement court. They will also have a girls team soon so the girls can join in on the fun!

The basketball story is about St. Catherine’s School going for gold and having fun when they play basketball.  Truedell Public School got them started playing basketball and now they are really, really, really, happy. Yay, for Truedell Public School and St. Catherine’s School but it’s getting BIGGER.  Soon the team will have a paved basketball court and then they will have a bunch of trophies and have lots and lots of fun too!  Yay for basketball!  WOOHOO!!
