English 9 - Great work on your Articles of the Week last night!  For those of you who needed a little extra time, hand them in tomorrow as soon as you arrive.  Today we began writing our Mock ELPA.  Good work on that, too.  We'll finish that up tomoorrow, maybe put the responses into Sentoe, and begin our work with Bloom's Taxonomy for Thinking (if time permits).  No homework!   English 12 -  Thanks for completing your Article of the Week last night.  In class today, we had a say about those, then began our intro to Bloom's (sorry I talked so much!).  We'll do our Bloom's activity tomorrow.

Hi there!  Welcome to your official last week!  In English 121, we continued our Huck study (presentations begin on Wednesday), and in English 9 we reviewed some older ads (while analyzing how they were trying to sell their product to us), then we began a project for YOU to market a specific product to the demographic of your choice.  Great work!

Today in 121 English, we discussed last night's Article of the week, then resumed our reading of The Diary of Adam and Eve by Mark Twain (*sigh*).  Following that, we detailed how our last week and a half will look, breaking into groups to examine four major categories while reading The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn.  They look like this: Bildungsroman - Megan, Justin, Nadine, Logan, Alex Socratic Irony - Sarah L., Erica, Mia, Samantha Superstition - Alyssa, Jessica, Sam C., Coralie "Black on the Inside" - Colton, Alanna, Allison, Sarah H., Miranda Hopefully, you determined how much you will read for tomorrow. In English 9, we enjoyed some SSR, then began the process of informing ourselves about the notion of addictiveness in video gaming...which will eventually lead us to a whole-class debate.  Great job!

Hi, folks!  This morning in English 121, we discussed your Articles of the Week, reviewed the practice question you completed for your test later this week, then continued our viewing of the movie adaptation for our novel. No homework for tomorrow.  English 9 students, we went through some advertising strategies used to manipulate us, reviewed the Canadian laws for advertising to children, examined a magazine ad or two, and you were assigned homework...watching TV and tracking the commercials.  We'll look at your findings tomorrow.
