Today we either were finishing descriptive paragraphs if they were overdue, or we were completing our last conte still-lifes for tomorrow's art class.
I reminded students about the need for "colour" materials and to bring in magazines (that can be cut up) for their photos.

| Grade 6: Multiples |
After recess we did math. Everyone listened to the grade 7 introductory lesson on integers. We used algebra tiles to demonstrate positive and negative numbers and we showed how one positive and one negative balance to make a
zero pair. Then the students started the questions on p. 54. The grade 7s are to
complete #1-3 for homework. After that lesson, the grade 6s got a lesson on multiples. We used tables from 0-100 to demonstrate how we could take two factors, find all of their multiples, and then identify multiples that each factor shared in common. We called these
common multiples. There is no homework for the 6s.

| Grade 7: Integers |
After lunch we had a visit from the Coast Youth Outreach worker. Daanish explained how the students could use the outreach workers for all sorts of concerns. He also talked about the website and how the workers would be more obvious next year as the grade 7s move on to secondary school.

Next we had a discussion about fair trade and how our spending involves ethical, economic, political, environmental and other choices. We ended the day with a review of climate graphs in socials. We also learned how to examine primary sources (sources from that time in history - painted, written, spoken or photographed - by actual participants in the events).
I've asked the class to try to find a more complete version of the cropped photo that was in the text. We came up with a number of hypotheses about what the different images in the stone carving showed, and
I'd like the class to write a comment on this blog post summarizing their hypothesis. Of course, a good student of history would never write a hypothesis without giving a hint as to why he or she thinks that it's true.

ReplyDeleteI think that there is a soldier or a person of high ranking beating or trying to kill A man. I think the objects on the wall are bows and quivers (not coat hangers and fake cups). I also think they are in A prison or a dark room.
ReplyDeleteIt was a bow and quiver. Not a trick cup and robe hanger
ReplyDeleteI think it's a prison where the guards are forcing a prisoner to the ground and the cup-like objects are quivers of arrows and the triangular object on the wall is a bow. I think this because it states in the textbook that it's a prison, and the men standing (guards) are wearing the same uniforms and the prisoner is not wearing anything.

I think that a prisoner had escaped and had headed over to the armory to try to arm himself but because (treatment of a prisoner was to get little food and water), so he was so exhausted the guards caught up to him as he got there and then they severely beat him.
ReplyDeleteI think that the man in the middle is strangling the guy in front of him because he did something wrong. As for the guy on the left side, I think he is beating someone with a stone.In conclusion, I think that it's a place where if you disobey the rules they try and talk some sense into you (And by talk i mean threaten or beat). Lastly I think it's true because that's the image I see.
ReplyDeleteI think that the 2 men are wresling because they got in a fight in a forest and the thing in the corner is A TREE so that must meen that they are in a forest where there are lots of TREES.
ReplyDeleteI think the picture is of a soldier Beating and strangling a man of a lower class and I think the man standing on the side is a guard.
ReplyDeleteAnd I think on the back wall is a bow and arrow ( not a fake cup )
I think that it is a prison cell who was did something bad (like robbery, or attempt to kill someone of high ranking) and that the first guard standing there is punishing him by beating him up and the second guard is there to make sure the prisoner does not beat up the guard and escape.
ReplyDeleteI think that there is a guard killing a prisiner and the stuff on the wall is a bow and quiver.
ReplyDeleteI think that the picure is of two men in a hair shop and one guy wants to cut the other guys hair and the fake cup thing is shampoo and the the coat hanger is a comb.
ReplyDeleteI think the picture is of a guard punishing a prisoner for speaking his mind or disobeying the rules, with another guard in the background either putting his quiver on the wall or taking out an arrow to stab the prisoner.
ReplyDeleteI think the stuff on the wall is two fake cups to trick the prisoners and a hanger to hang hide.
I think the picture is of a guard beating a prisoner because the prisoner disobeyed the guard. The stuff on the wall is a bow and a quiver not a coat hanger and a trick cup.
ReplyDeleteI think the picture shows a gaurd, trying to kill a prisoner. I am almost positive that it was a quiver and a bow on the wall NOT a trick-cup and a coat hanger. Also I looked on the internet and I couldn't find anything else on the pictograph.
ReplyDeleteYou have done well with this. Good work everyone.
ReplyDeleteMr. Marshall it's late. Get to bed.
ReplyDeletei think that it is a gaurd trying to kill a prisoner after he disobeyed the gaurds or committed a crime like robbery or murder and i think the stuff on the walls is a quiver with arrows (trick cup) and a bow (coat hanger)
ReplyDeleteI think that it is a prisoner and two guards beating down a prisoner that escaped from its cell and the two guards have just captered the prisoner in the middle of the forest. That would explain the tree in the background but the artist just put this plain so it wouldn't take away from the front of the picture. I also think that it is possible that it could be a trick cup but not so sure about the coat hanger.
ReplyDeletewhat is with the whole make sure your not a robot thing?
ReplyDeleteI think that this image was about a prisoner trying to escape and he got caught by two gaurds and they are beating him. As for the back ground I think there are quivers, bows and other weapons hanging on the wall for easy acsess.
ReplyDeleteTesting; testing; testing.
ReplyDeleteIt looks like someone is pushing somebody else to the ground.

I think this picture of the 2 people was of a guard and the other person was a prisoner. I think the (trick cups) on the wall were not trick cups they were quivers. I think the (coat hanger) was a bow. By Avery
