Conflict in South Sudan

WALT : Recognize the impact of a drought and a famine on Families and Communities and describe what happened and describe what happened in South Sudan during the famine in 2017.

In Room 6 we have been learning about the conflict in South Sudan and the impact that it had on Families and Communities. We then had to create a newspaper article about it with a buddy. 

What I found easy was working with a buddy and talking to them. 

What I found hard was coming up with ideas for my writing. 

Next time I will finish on time and stay on task.
