Thermic Thursday!

Blocks A&D: Keep working to finish the episodes and complete your Listening Checks! Your presentation plan is due to me for approval before the end of class tomorrow - so you should be working together to formulate the basics of your case.

Block B: There will be time in class tomorrow to continue working on the contrast tasks if you did not finish them in class today. Don't forget to study for the quiz on figurative comparison tomorrow!

Wavering Wednesday!

Blocks A&D: Keep listening to the remaining episodes of "Serial" the Listening Checks are not due until the end of the project - but you absolutely need them to complete your case - so try and get those done fairly quickly!

Block B: In class today we looked at figurative comparison and the role it plays to enrich our understanding of the literal meaning of the text. Make sure you are keeping track of your terminology as there will be a quiz on the terms presented on Friday!

Trusty Tuesday!

Blocks A&D: We'll continue working on your final "Serial" project in class tomorrow - where you can start to listen to the rest of the episodes!

Block B: In class today you wrote a quiz on sound devices and spent the rest of the block working on your poetry project. Keep in mind that you need to hand in your anonymous poem and concrete poems to me by Nov. 14th.

Mammoth Monday!

Blocks A&D: If you did not finish the double-sided "Media Text" research sheet - please do so for homework tonight - I will be collecting it.

Block B: Study the sound terminology from class on Friday - as there will be a quiz tomorrow!

Formidable Friday!

Blocks A&D: Thank you for handing in your sociograms today - they look great! If you did not finish the Evaluating Evidence worksheet in class today - please complete it for homework over the weekend - we'll discuss on Monday.

Block B: There is no official homework this weekend - if you need to finish up the glossary terms for sound - you may want to spend some time on that - as there will be a quiz on Tuesday!

Thematic Thursday!

Blocks A&D: The good copy of your Sociogram is due tomorrow!

Block B: Please complete your form and meaning task tonight for homework. Choose two poems - one happy and one sad - and write a response to the relationship between the form and meaning. I'll be collecting this at the start of class. We will also have a quiz on the types of poems - so study those terms from class yesterday.

Winsome Wednesday!
