Week of Sept 23-27

We are rolling this week friends!!

Thanks again for your focus throughout the last few classes. We've had a number of conversations about what it means to submit quality work and how we should be putting our BEST effort forward.

We need to make sure we're adding detail, backing up our statements, and expanding our ideas.

We're also taking a few steps at revisiting some basics: how to properly write a paragraph, how to respond in complete sentences... and, we're being mindful of capitalization, grammar and punctuation rules!

By now you will have all been given access to your class' share folder. Be sure to check in on a weekly basis and review any notes and/or refresh yourselves on what's been covered.

Some of the things we've got on the go currently, include:

1. The Landlady (Roald Dahl) Analysis Questions -- Typed, Font (nothing "cute" please), Sz 12
    DUE: Monday, September 30

 2. Urban Legend Short Story Planning -- Either in your Humanities Scribblers OR in Google Docs
    Phases 1-3 should be planned out by Monday, September 30 please.


Tomorrow (Weds 09/24), we'll be starting our "DIG" relating to a variety of changes that occurred during the Edo Period of Isolation.

Feel free to bring in a personal device/laptop for our "Starbucks Mode" work session.

-Mrs. Lockyer

Update: Friday Nov 8

Hi friends, As you know, Edict responses were due today ! You were meant to have submitted hard copy versions (handwritten/typed) into your corresponding class' drop box (up near SmartBoard). Today was the second opportunity you had to work on your written rationales for the Exhibit artifacts. Remember, EACH STUDENT is required to submit an informative piece of text along with the build, your blueprints, and any other planning documents you may have. I have provided you with some very specific prompts -- please refer your class' Share Folder for this task. You should also be working on your Hockey Hero task, as I will be looking for this to be completed by Weds, Nov 13. Please come chat to me if you have any questions, comments, or concerns :) Happy weekend folks. -Mrs. Lockyer
