Humanities: Recap + Pi Day

Hi Friends!

Good work today! Most of you are progressing nicely and wrapping up those essays! You're also well underway with the Influential Figure representations. Well done. Most of us made it out of class safely without any glue gun burns... ;)

To recap, today we went over how to properly embed quotations into our writing. Remember, we are aiming for fluidity in our writing and don't want to see anything "floating" where it shouldn't be. Focus on those transition words and remember the sandwich - claim, quote, explanation.

*Please reference the slides from the lesson (posted in each class' Google Share folder) as an anchor/resource.

Also, Pi Day is on Friday. Yum. Let's try and be environmentally conscious and remember to bring in a reusable (camping, plastic...) plate and fork. You can wash everything up at the sink afterwards, but we'd really like to eliminate the amount of waste, which is why we're asking.

Thats all for now! The countdown is on until Spring Break!!

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

It's part of learning and organizing yourselves. "Real world preparation" means adhering to real deadlines... For the next 2 weeks, you will most likely have to work on tasks ...
