Period One -- ELA 10
Time was given to students to finish up the Writing Assignment that was given on Friday. Once completed students were to read the novel they are currently studying as part of our independent novel study.
Period Two -- ELA 20
Creative Writing students were to pick any random picture from a magazine. Based on this image, they were to write a short story which included some sort of conflict taking place within that image. They are to ensure that each of the five elements of a short story (Introduction, Rising Action, Climax, Falling Action and Conclusion) are included.
Media Studies students are to analyze and program on television. They are to analyze based on the elements of language, characterization, visuals, cultural groups and values. Essentially they are to analyze what is positive about this program and what is negative. In the end they are to make a conclusion as to whether or not they find that show to be of a positive or negative viewing experience.

About Me
- Mr.Morin
- Originally from Weyburn, SK, I was born with a passion for sports. Unfortunately a lack of talent has lead me to make a fantastic career choice, that being teaching History and English which I currently do at Norquay School in Norquay, SK. I am married to a wonderful woman, Breanna, who not only allows me to watch sports on a seemingly endless basis, but she has even started to take a general interest in most major sports. While her preference for teams leaves a little to be desired, I still think its pretty awesome that I can spend Sunday afternoons watching NFL football WITH my wife! We are also fortunate to have two fantastic children, Kylie, born in December of 2009 and Kruze, born in August of 2011.
