Another “Jack and the Beanstalk” parody. This is what your adaptation could look like:

Here’s an “Honest Trailer” for the movie Divergent. Please note  that you must choose a short fable or fairy tale for your parody, not a movie, and that your story needs to be told more like the “Jack and the Beanstalk” video above. You are not making a trailer.

Refugees and Human Rights – Student Poetry Contest

It is with great pleasure that the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees Canada (UNHCR), the Canadian Commission for UNESCO (CCUNESCO) and COSTI Immigrant Services would like to invite your students to take part in the annual “Refugees and Human Rights” student poetry contest. This contest, open to students across Canada from Grades 4 to 12, provides them with the opportunity to express their feelings and opinions – in English or in French – on the theme of refugee and human rights issues. We believe this contest will fit naturally within the social studies and civic education curricula, while also promoting greater interest in creative writing.
