The Grade 5 students were very fortunate to have interviewed Shad, a Juno award winning Canadian rapper. Students used their knowledge and insights from the unit of inquiry and social justice to ask Shad questions in an effort to "go further" along our inquiry cycle and enrich their understandings of racism and social justice. They did a marvelous job!
