I am a big advocate for wrapping up coursework before the holiday season (no pun intended). I do not like being in the middle of a Unit or a novel over Christmas break, and I absolutely loath giving homework during that time, mostly because you wouldn't catch me doing any marking or planning either. So, in the interest of starting fresh in January with short units or novel studies until exams, there will be a lot of assignments due in the upcoming weeks.
ELA 10
The students are reading a novel called Ender's Game. Most of the reading is done in class and there are questions an vocabulary to accompany the readings. They also received their major project last Friday and are welcome to begin working on it. It will be due December 16, as decided by the class.
ELA 20
Last week we began working on narrative essay writing. The students have the opportunity to write about a memory from their childhood. This is due December 7. The students have already had 3 periods to work on this essay.
ELA 30
The Mirage poster assignment is due this Friday. Most groups are done and they are looking great. We are going to start reading Canadian Gothic this week and then we will be writing a literary essay before Xmas. Due date is to be announced.
