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
