GRADES
At this point, all assignments that were resubmitted or submitted late have been graded. I have been working on grading this past week's writing assignments that were completed on Thursday and Friday. Writing assignments are more time consuming because I endeavour to include feedback that will help students improve their writing. Apologies for any delays in grading due to this process taking longer than typical grading. Additionally, many students have been absent. Students are expected to come to tutorials or send me a quick e-mail about missing work that needs to be made-up due to absences. I still have quite a few that missed the vocabulary test and that have not come to make it up. Please touch base with your student or feel free to ask me anything regarding grades.

Next week is a shorter week, but we still have just as much learning to do! We will be focusing on presentation skills, root words, appositive phrases, and paraphrasing on Tuesday.

Then after we spend a day in the library, we will begin our quest that focuses on ancient civilizations and how they affected the world.
Students will work in groups to complete the quest, and at the end, they will have a presentation ready to share the information they found with the rest of the class. In addition, students have homework that not only centers on vocabulary but on grammar as well. I've attached the agenda from the board in my room. Happy Monday to everyone! This week we will be ending our poetry unit and moving to fiction. Below is the agenda for the week.
Monday: Poetry Post-Test (After the test, students will have opportunity to work on their Homework Unit 3 Vocabulary or work on Poetry Stations they may not have finished last week.) Tuesday: We will be saying goodbye to poetry using a poem that was written during WWI "In Flander's Field". Wednesday: Students will take a Fiction Pre-Assessment. Afterwards, students will watch a performance that is closely related to the poem. From that performance students will work in partners to co-construct a plot as an introduction to the Wide World of Fiction. Thursday: Students will take a re-test for poetry at the beginning of class. Afterwards, they will begin taking notes about poetry in their Interactive Notebook. Friday: We will finish taking notes about Fiction. Afterward, students will look at Dr. Seuss' The Sneeches to practice analysis. |
