Welcome Back!!!
This website can be utilized by both parents and students to keep track of work being done in classes, due dates coming up in terms of assignments as well as important dates and events that involved the school as a whole.
Period One/Two -- Homeroom with Grade Eight.
Note to students/parents: Please return signed forms ASAP! These include Registration, School Fees, Technology Use Agreement, Field Trip Consent, Publication Forms and Student Planner.
Period Three -- History 30
A short quiz on general Canadian history revealed we have a lot of ground to make up this year. We introduced the unit, discussing some of the theories behind the arrival on Europeans to North America and the reasons for their desire to 'colonize' the land and peoples. In conjunction with this sheet, a few questions are due for Wednesday.
Period Five -- ELA 20
We will start the year off with a writing assignment. Students were posed the following question: If you could have dinner with any three or four people (dead or alive) who you find to be an inspiration or a tribute to society, who would they be? Students are to think of people they would want to have dinner with, and complete a concept web with reasons for why they would want to spend a couple of hours with those people. These webs are due tomorrow.
Period Six -- ELA 10
Similar to Grade 11, we will start with writing. Students were given the following prompt: You are a Grade Ten student. Write two informative paragraphs; one on your favorite aspect of school and one on your least favorite aspect of school. These paragraphs are due tomorrow.
Period Seven -- ELA 9
Introduced a paragraph writing unit, defining a paragraph and discussing their length. Students were then asked to write a paragraph on a topic of their choice for tomorrow.
Have a good night.
