We are winding down our book studies, and aiming for a due date of this Friday, June 2nd. If you have a very lengthy book, or switched books, and could use the weekend to complete the study, please see Mrs. Macdonald for an extension.

We have had a little change in plans for the presentation of our multi-genre projects. Because some people will be out conducting workshops on Thursday, and some attending a play on Friday, we will postpone the due-date to Monday, June 5th - Have all projects ready to roll for that day, please! It will be much better to have everyone in attendance for two days straight, so we can all enjoy ythe amazing creations together.

We are halfway through the time alotted for our book study; therefore, students should be aiming to be at least halfway through their books, and halfway through their novel study packets by the end of this week.

While the original due date was today, we used today as a surprise editing day. We went through the rubric item by item, showing on my model essay what we should be looking for. People asked some great questions, and are well on their way to excellent essays - tweaked/edited/revised essays (now all worth 100%, finger crossed!) are due Friday, May 19th.

As promised, here is one of the exam questions:
The reason we read or view new things is to learn; we learn how and why the world works as it does. In order for us to learn to become better as humans, though, what works best, fiction or non-fiction? Your answer to this question should be a clear thesis, then support your thesis using details from any reading or viewing completed this term.

Since we've missed several research days because of weather, the deadline for the research essay has been extended by one day to Friday, December 23rd. While I may not see Period 6 on that day since it is 1/2 day, you can always email the essay to:
Don't forget the "2; " the other Jean MacDonald doesn't forward them anymore, and I will never know you sent it!
