English 10-1:
Students have completed both their children's books and writing the same story for an adult audience. While I was away at meetings last week, they viewed, "To Kill a Mockingbird" and are completing a critical/analytical essay on one of its' themes. This essay is due on Friday, March 11.
On Monday, March 7, we will review student responses to eight chapters of, "A Complicated Kindness". One of these responses was pushed back due to my absence from the classroom. On Wednesday, we discuss responses to four more chapters.
Friday will be our first Fantastic Friday, and we'll start getting organized for that on Tuesday. As well, we'll begin a representation activity related to our novel. Students will cast the imaginary film of, "A Complicated Kindness", and create an accompanying movie poster to advertise the film.
Socials 16:
Students have fully completed the first unit on Canada. Now we move into a unit on Justice. Students are currently working on responses to the film, "The Shawshank Redemption". They are also doing a bit of research on David Milgaard and wrongful convictions. This week, we move into a case study of justice involving a fictional young offender.
English 30-2:
Students have completed the first part of their viewing unit, including children's stories. Some may still have some work to do in response to the film, "Little Miss Sunshine". On Monday, we begin our novel study, which should be on "October Sky".
I cannot stress enough how important school attendance is. If students don't go to class, they don't build the skills necessary for success in both school and life. Please ensure your child attends school.
Have a great week, everyone. Enjoy the sun.
