"I love deadlines. I like the whooshing sound they make as they fly by." ~ Douglas Adams

English is unique in that it takes a while to 'get into' the content before it is even worth doing any kind of evaluation. In these few short weeks the students have done so much work, and they are beginning to show what they have learned by doing projects.

ELA 30
The "Profile of a Canadian" formal oral essay that has been previously mentioned is now due on October 7th due to next week's general craziness. The original due date was September 30, so needless to say the students were thrilled!

The Rants that the students handed in were very enjoyable to read. Way to go grade 12s!

ELA 9
We have just finished reading The Outsiders. It is safe to say that it was very well received, although some students did question certain 'turns' in the plot. Love it! The major project for this novel will be due October 8, right before Thanksgiving. Students will be given class time, assuming they use it properly.

Until next time!
