Title: Sharing the Good News Forum
Course: BC - English 5 - XT - 1.0.0.0

Your teacher will put you into a small group with some of your classmates. You will share your completed Good News Article with your group in a forum.

Post your own story by attaching the PDF of your article. Then, read through all of the articles in your group and give each member of your group a “high-five.” Altogether, each story should receive five encouraging comments from the group as a whole.

Here are some suggested sentence starters for your comments:

- “This story is really encouraging because...”
- “I like how you used quotes when...”
- “Your newspaper layout looks…”
- “I think it is amazing that…”
- “My favourite part of your article was...”

This forum is a chance for you to connect with your classmates, read some good news, and leave thoughtful and respectful comments.
