Last weekend was the readers theatre that I was talking about earlier. It is the book Ollie's Field Journal by Patti McIntosh about a girl from Toronto who goes to Niger, Africa to learn about malnutrition. It is a very interesting book and is very educational.
Anyway, last weekend my class went to the Stanley. A. Milner library to do a readers theatre at the book launch. Our World Vision Committee also set up a booth there asking for donations. Well, we raised $165 adding to the rest of the money that we raised to help us reach our goal of $4000. By the way we have raised $1221.93 and we have $2778.06 left to raise. Here are some pictures of the book launch.
Here is my class before we actually start reading the readers theatre. If you look behind us you can see that they were putting the book up as a PowerPoint on t he wall behind us.
Here you can see how many people were there for the book launch. It was absolutley packed inside and overflowing!
Here is our class after the two readings of the book. In the front row there is the writer Patti McIntosh, illustrator Tara Langois and photographer Dustin Delfs.
This was a great success and I hope that Ollie's Field Journal will soon become a big hit!
