Week of Nov 18 - 21

Hi guys,

Today you were introduced to 2 new tasks -- both of which have pretty substantial elements of reading and responding. Tasks can be found in each class' corresponding share folder.

You were given time to read and make notes today, and by tomorrow, the expectation is that you will wrap up note taking and will move on to writing, and/or recording your voice audio clip.

Please see below for due dates:

Meiji: Summary - Due Thurs, November 21 (**Band Camp Students Weds, Nov 27)
Response: Voice recording OR Written

Worldview Investigation: Don Cherry - Due Weds, Nov 27
Response: Written

Also, friendly reminder that your Rationales are due on Thurs, Nov 21 for the Exhibit artifact.

Thank you to those who handed in their metaphors/similes work. We will be moving into personification, comma practice, and essay writing this week.

Come see me if you have any comments, questions, or concerns.

Thanks guys!
-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
