Book studies

Most students have just started some book studies which is exciting. These books really open your eyes to different issues around the world and gets you thinking about your own situation in comparison to theirs.

One is a novel called Boy Overboard about some refugees. After completing the book study the students will do more research and inquiry around the issue of refugees in our world today.

The other book is called I am Malala and is about a young Pakistani girl who fights for girls education, despite the danger and threats to her life.

The students have been learning how to answer short answer questions. This includes putting the question into the answer, writing full sentences, and backing up your ideas with evidence. This will be something they practice throughout the book study.
