The Olympics for your students

For the duration of the Olympics, we will make available for primary and secondary students information and exercises about the Vancouver Olympics!

My eight French secondary VI students in Kangiqsujuaq will attempt to produce a daily newspaper during the games ( 10 issues if all goes well ). I hope these will interest your students (available in French only).

In our first edition:

  • Olympic mascots
  • Vowels
  • Winter sports
  • Olympic flame
  • Tickets

Students from Aupaluk and Kangiqsujuaq become published authors

During the 2008/2009 school year two talented secondary English groups, one from Aupaluk and one from Kangiqsujuaq, were selected to participate in educational programs provided by Blue Metropolis, a non-profit organization “dedicated to bringing people from different cultures together to share the pleasures of reading and writing”. With the help of professional writers, photographers and sound engineers, the two groups worked tirelessly throughout the year to attain their goal of sharing their rich Inuit culture through media. Keep reading in order to discover the details of their projects and where you can find their published work.

Pigunnapugut - We can do it!

Pigunnapugut (We can do it!) was held at the Qaunnaq, Kativik School Board’s Adult Education Center in Salluit from March 9 – April 3- a four-week workshop on traditional and contemporary skills in sewing, crocheting, knitting, embroidery and kamik making and women’s wellness.  The instructors from Nunavik and Nunavut are known for their expertise and skills in their particular area. Participants who are good seamstresses were chosen from each community. The participants will, once they return to their community, set up similar workshops.

Playing for Real!

The education counsellor’s word in French…

 "We experimented with the activity kit Playing for Real in the 5th and 6th grades of Ajagudak school in Tasiujaq.  During this project, teacher Marie-Ève Roy’s students created a fictitious town where they would all be together as adults. They explored various trades and professions as well as the associated competencies.  The students had the opportunity to work on all the competencies of the Kativik School Board’s French curriculum throughout the project.

Quaqtaq students explore the world!

Letters from Nunavik may travel several kilometers …
It often happens that our students correspond with other children all over the world. It is a good way of honing our skills in French.

In Mrs. Renée Sassine’s class in Quaqtaq, the students achieved two correspondence projects with other classes.  They exchanged with a class in Montreal and with another group in France. They were able to swap letters, photos and greeting cards made by the students.  They even managed to create a video presenting the students, their work, the school and their community. This was a very motivating project for the students!

Guided Writing

One of the best processes I have used to encourage writing development is a guided writing method. If this process is used continually from an early point in a student’s career, they will wean themselves off it by the time they have hit the end of Cycle one secondary, or at least that has been my experience as a teacher!!

The process is simple, and can be used for writing a short story, an opinion piece, or a narrative. The teacher decides what the writing piece will be about.  For example, if the teacher has been doing work on media, perhaps s/he will want the student to talk about their favorite television show.  The guided process works in three parts.
