On Monday we had the opportunity to go to the local high school to watch a production of “The Rainbow Fish” put on by the grade 11/12 drama production class.  For many students it was the first time that they were in a theatre watching a live play.  We all loved it!

When we got back we used that experience as inspiration for some paragraph writing.  Together we constructed a topic sentence, brainstormed ideas for the middle, and a concluding sentence. Students then got to work writing their paragraphs independently.
