Grade 8 (Lockyer/Badr)

Hello Grade 8's, I thought I would share some of the Rube Goldberg videos we have watched in class to help inspire you for our builds next week. If you find some more fun videos this weekend, feel free to email them to me (robadr@cbe.ab.ca) and I'll add them to this post!

Hey Folks, It's been a pretty busy couple weeks! "Good on ya!" to those of you who submitted the first drafts of your essays last week -- it certainly helped to get the editing process moving. By tonight, both classes will have read through each other's papers. Now, the original authors will decide whether or not they want to implement any suggested changes. FINAL ESSAY DUE: Tuesday, December 17. - Printed - Font 12 - Double spacing - References page (now that we've gone over this in class) Please, also, type your name. The worst thing is spending time on a piece of writing, printing it off, and then scribbling your name in pen/pencil on the top! When I see this, I swear, I get a grey hair! It just all comes down to presentation + aesthetics of your work. You also have either your illuminated manuscripts OR comic which will be due Tuesday, December 17 as well. The countdown is on... -Mrs. Lockyer
