Melville Intermediate - Selwyn House inspire our writing

Today in class we were looking for an energizer with our writing.   We were looking for a problem to solve or something to contribute too.  Of course our class is signed up for AoteaQuadblogging with three other classes from around New Zealand and we saw that our friends from Selwyn House in Christchurch had posted their new unit of study - but even better, posted a Google Doc of a series of problem and how to solve them.  We took the problems, modified them slightly, and then used them as our writing task for today.

    Hi Room 8,

    How were your holidays? What were your highlights?

    This is so cool to see! Great to see our unit inspired your writing. We are learning strategies for solving the conflicts ourselves instead of finding an external person such as a teacher to solve it. Sometimes talking to an adult is the best solution but we need to try to solve it ourselves first.

    As much as it pains me to say it, Go the Chiefs! (Sniff..........) ;)

    Hi Room 8,

    That is great to see we have inspired your writing! I'd love to see some of the pieces of your writing. What was one of the hardest conflicts to write about?
