Hi Everyone,

I've posted your last assignment for this school year.  I believe you'll find that it is quite straightforward, but should you have any questions, please get in touch with me. I’ll be happy to help.

Also, I want to say that it has been a pleasure having each of you in my class this year, and although the school year took an unexpected turn, it was nice to see that you were up for the challenge. 

I hope you have a wonderful summer, and maybe I’ll see you in the fall in my grade 10 English class!

Ms. Courtney

Hi Everyone,

 

I hope you had a productive week.  It was great to see many of you at the school on Thursday!

 

I’ve attached this week’s assignments.  You’ll notice that I’ve excluded a journal entry this time.  That is because this week’s main assignment is designed to take a bit more of your time.  If you wish to still complete a journal entry, feel free to do so.  When you finish your assignment, send it along and I’ll be happy to provide feedback.

 

Take care and I look forward to hearing from you!

 

Ms. Courtney

Echoes 2020 - (English 9, Period 5)

Hi Everybody,

 

I hope you had a great week.  It was wonderful to see the time and effort each of you put into your phase 2 projects.  I can’t wait for the ideas you come up with for phase 3!

 

To access our Echoes workspace so you can view projects created by our twin school as well as those created by your classmates, I’ve attached our account information.  Be sure to check it out.  It’s amazing to see that great projects are still being produced despite the difficult challenges we are currently facing. 

 

Keep up the awesome work!

 

Ms. Courtney

Hi Everybody,

 

It was wonderful to hear from so many of you this week.  I hope you are all doing well.  Remember to reach out to me if you have any questions or require help in any way.

 

I’ve attached this week’s assignments. You will notice there is no journal/creative writing required this time because the interview activity will take a bit more of your time than past weekly assignments.

 

Have fun with it and I hope you have a great week!
