Maurading Monday

Block B: Today we started the first step towards a writing assignment by watching Zoo Revolution in class and watching for specific information for and against zoos. I did not assign it as homework tonight as you will be working to finish the good copy of your Bio Poem. Tomorrow - you need to hand in the good copy (typed or written in pen) that shows creativity in the decoration, the brainstorm/planning pages along with the green criteria sheet.

Block C: We collected the finished Coat of Arms assignment today - most of you were able to get them in and done, we're just waiting for a couple of late stragglers. We will continue our exploration of current events and their impacts tomorrow.

Fantastic Friday!

Block B: Hopefully you were able to finish your Bio Poem Planning page in class today. Your good copy is going to be due on Tuesday - but you will not be getting any more time in class. The good copy should be typed or hand-written in pen. You are also to add decorations to represent a little more about you, along with a small picture of yourself.

Block C: If you did not finish the Coat of Arms assignment with the mind map - you will need to get it done on your own time! Both are to be handed in on Monday.
