#IBMYP students @CISBeijing reading The Lord of the Flies created representations of the island, incorporating symbolism and characters’ opposing perspectives. Presenting the final product, they used text evidence to justify their choices. Proud of their creativity and analysis!

#IBDP #languageliterature @myCISB getting back into the text analysis mindset. Grade 11s trying out an intro challenge and Grade 12s competing to see which group can recall the most.

#IBMYP #languageandliterature @myCISB first day of school challenge- a #OneNote treasure hunt. Solving each word puzzle provides a password to unlock the next clue and ultimately reach the final prize -the course syllabus 😂

We may be #remotelearning, but we’re still building anticipation for our Lord of the Flies #novelstudy! Apparently if we had donuts and insect repellant, we’d do just fine 😂 #middleschool

They’re definitely in holiday mode, but still persevering and learning @CISBeijing. This #IBDP #languageandliterature student shares some writing tips from his group’s infographic. #highschool

We thoroughly enjoyed this activity shared by @MsChanEDU in which students coach each other on illustrating each stanza of Ode 1 in Antigone! Great way to cooperate and make our thinking visible! @CISBeijing #languageandliterature #middleschool

Creon sure has had it with the Sentry. #languageandliterature students @CISBeijing share what they’ve visualized during scene 1 of Antigone in a tableau they’ve titled ‘Don’t shoot the messenger.’ 😂 #middleschool

Challenging our reading, speaking, listening, and writing skills with a running dictation @CISBeijing #middleschool #languageacquisition

I love it when students doodle as they collect their thoughts #highschool @CISBeijing #languageandliterature

#IBDP #LanguageandLiterature students hard at work analyzing a literary extract @CISBeijing #myCISB

Students brainstormed two-sentence horror stories to ensure we’d all have trouble sleeping tonight! One of my favourites “Today is Sunday. Tomorrow is Monday.” 😂 #middleschool #Halloween #scarystories @CISBeijing

😂 A Beowulf #quizletlive wouldn’t be complete without epic music! Look at that intense concentration in the heat of battle #IBDP #LanguageandLiterature @CISBeijing

Sometimes we forget the little things make a difference to “big kids” too! Our seniors @CISBeijing shared some giggles as they got to choose a “silly” folder for keeping track of their novel study papers. Flamingos, pineapples, planets, and polar bears were a hit! #IBDP

We’re honoured to present the Survivors' flag. Survivors from across Canada helped create this expression of commemoration, meant for communities and individuals to show their commitment to remembrance and hope for Reconciliation. #NationalTRW nctr.ca/exhibits/survi…

In our study of @JerryCraft’s New Kid we’ve been exploring the various techniques graphic novel authors & artists use. Ss have made some great observations about how our brains process this complex text type! @CISBeijing #literacy #middleschool

My Ss from grades 7 - 12 @CISBeijing love #OneNote escape room style puzzles! Solving each clue gives a password to unlock a section of the notebook. Great fun for topic specific review or team building. #middleschool #highschool

The first few weeks have been a fantastic whirlwind of reconnecting, building classroom community, and delving into books @CISBeijing! #myCISB #middleschool #highschool

Finished out the year with a games day and a variety of choice: competition, cooperation, consoles, cards, and imagination! Favourites were Mario Kart, HP Lego, Codenames, Carcassonne, and Mafia #myCISB #middlehighschool

Trying to keep those semantic pathways challenged despite the allure of brain shutdown on this lovely Monday morning so very, very near the end of the school year 😬#ibmyp #languageacquisition #middlehighschool
