Update - Humanities

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

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
