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

April 2 - Looking Ahead

Hello everyone! It's been wonderful to see that so many students are logging on to D2L! We've been noticing students looking at the Light and Optics slides and working on their writing prompts, so good work! Tomorrow, we are going to have our first Friday class meeting on Google Meet at 10am . An invite code will be sent to your webmail at 9:55am. It is expected that you attend - barring technical difficulties. This meeting will be a little bit longer than our usual meetings since we are still getting up and running. Two main topics we will cover in this meeting: Tutorial on how to submit assignments from Drive on D2L How to take the Practice Quiz (Tomorrow) and the Science Test (Monday) One question we had yesterday was about what Mrs. Thornborough is going to do with Band .

Humanities: Week of Jan 13-17

Hi Folks! Today was mostly productive (for the majority of you...) as we practiced formulating responses for Jan 20th's assessment, caught up on reading, and worked on book studies.  Some of us, have started off 2020 with a "laissez-faire" type of attitude -- yes, you heard me -- and it is my suggestion that we get that out of our systems quick... There's lots on the go! As a reminder, you are always being assessed individually - regardless of whether you collaborate in pairs/groups... Projects where people get the same mark are not the "style" in Grade 8, and it doesn't demonstrate what a single student actually knows...so, be sure to make solid decisions when it comes to using class time effectively, and be wise for what you need to do for yourself and your own learning. Reminder:  - Your Humanities journals were meant to have been handed in yesterday, but since I was not in the building, I extended it to today at the end of class... 8-1: 1...
