Final Friday!

You did it!!! Congratulations and best wishes to all of my students on a wonderful semester together in English.

Good luck on the Provincial exam grade 12s!!! Make sure you are early. Be there Monday at 8:45am with water, ID, a pen and a pencil.

I hope you all enjoyed the journey as much as I have!!! I wish you nothing but the best for a wonderful second semester.

This is Thursday!

Block B: Our big day is tomorrow - make sure that you and your group are all ready to go! That means: scripts, costumes, props, and write-up for me. Good luck performers!

Block C: We will continue with Part D composition practice tomorrow - hope you managed to get a pretty decent essay done today!

Block D: Day one of essay writing is done! If you need extra time after tomorrow - you will be able to come in at lunch to finish up.

Working Through Wednesday!

Block B: Tomorrow is rehearsal day for your performances on Friday. Make sure you come prepared to work through your whole presentation!

Block C: We're moving on to the Part D: Original Composition tomorrow - prepare in advance by reviewing what you know about good essay writing.

Block D: Tomorrow we start your in-class Macbeth final essay. You were given time in class today to prepare your outline - but just like an exam this is not taken home - you will be given 2 blocks to write your essay. Please do not bring any outside sources or material to class.

Totally Tuesday!

Block B: Keep up the great group work on your Outsiders role play! We will be presenting on Friday!

Block C: Synthesis Provincial practice continues tomorrow! Such fun!

Block D: Wow - thank you all for you wonderful and fearless performances of Macbeth today! You were all inspired! There is no official homework tonight - but if you want to get ahead of the game - review your literary analysis notes as we are going to get started on our final essays tomorrow!

Mostly Monday!

Block B: I hope that you and your group was very productive today in class! The role play project is due on Friday - so make sure you are on task and contributing to the success of your group.

Block C: We'll pick up where we left off tomorrow - with the synthesis parts B and C - such fun!

Block D: The show will go on tomorrow! Practice, practice, practice!

For you, this Friday:

Block B: Movie vs. Book - which is better? The debate continues... In the meantime - we have a group project to get up and running! I've not assigned the project as homework - you will have the next week to start work on your script, write-up and rehearsals for the big show. Use your time wisely and well. Homework this weekend is the good copy of your Johnny obituary. Make sure you have your good copy (with hand-drawn picture) rough draft and blue criteria sheet for Monday.

Block C: You're done! YES!! All Tempest essays are complete and handed in. Provincial exam practice starts on Monday.

Block D: Bonus work day on Monday for your Macbeth performances. We present on Tuesday!

Think about Thursday:

Block B: Hope you are enjoying the movie version of the book! We'll finish the rest tomorrow. Make sure that you have all of the required worksheets to hand in tomorrow for ELO 4. I would like to see your text codes, settings, plot line, conflicts and character wanted posters.

Block C: Essay writing day #1 is done - last day to write tomorrow!

Block D: Work continues on your final performance project. Due date is now on Tuesday! Use the extra time to add in the awesome!
