5th Grade Language Arts Enrichment

5th graders involved in the Language Arts Enrichment class have been meeting twice a week over the past few months. They have discussed 4 different philosophers and pondered the question “What is the meaning of Life?” in conjunction with the Philosophy Slam essay-writing competition. They read a short story “Alberic the Wise” and helped develop a 5-paragraph essay based on this short story. The essay addressed “What is the mearning of Life?” from Alberic’s perspective. They are currently working on developing their own 5-paragraph essays which will be submitted to the Philosophy Slam organization for competition. The due date for this competition is February 2.
