What's Going On?! Essay Writing and All That...

Hi Friends,

Most of you worked pretty well with our persuasive essay writing task today - great job!!

Reminder, your topic, thesis statement, and three reasons + counterarguments (as per the outline in the Share Folder) are to be completed by Monday, Dec 2.  

 **If this is not done on time, you will be behind the work I have planned -- to move into body paragraphs and conclusion writing next week.

Today was a pretty solid work period, and many of you met with me, to go over tightening up your initial argument -- well done! Tomorrow, we will discuss what makes an effective paragraph and then, you will be given two more in-class work periods (Monday + Tuesday).

My goal is to have a 1st draft DONE by Thursday, Dec 5.

 In other news, homework help for Grade 8s was offered today, and here's a photo of how many people showed up... 😝So, yeah...

Week of September 9-13

Hi Folks!  Thanks for a great start to the 2019/2020 school year!  As you know, Mr. Badr and I are both new to the TMC community, and as such, are still waiting to be connected to all of the sites... unfortunately, we have not yet acquired access to the School Messenger system and PowerSchool. Once that is all up, we will let you know and things will be a lot smoother. Fingers crossed it all happens early next week! As of now, we've delved into our study of Worldview, taken a trip to Japan, and are in the midst of learning about why a country would want to isolate itself. By the end of the week, we will have starting talking about what makes a "scary" story (more-so suspense filled) and begin our work with Urban Legends. Don't forget -- Thursday, Sept 12 we will be in Kananaskis taking part in our G8 "Summit"! Dress for the weather, come with extra snacks, and be prepared to have a ton of fun! Thanks friends! This year is going to be a great one!  ...
