Hello, everyone; I heard from a few of you during the course selection process. I hope it went OK. We will be tying up the home learning assignments by June 12th, which means only one more weekly question, and perhaps a tie-up ativity in the final week. I am really impressed with the thinking you have been demonstrating; this will prepare you well for next year!
This week, let's think about the plot a bit. This week's question gets you to think about an important event that has happened, and how the story would change if that event had gone differently.
The question is posted below:

Hi everyone! I am starting to get some essays in, so we will continue with completing those, and sending them in. Are you finding the information I posted on writing essays is helpful?
How is everyone doing with course selections? You need to think about 2 things - make sure you have the graduation requirements, then make sure you have taken any courses that are required for the course you want to take after High school. Remember that the Grade 11 English was split into two separate credits, and both are graduation requirements. Those of you who did not have a passing grade at January would not yet have the credit for 113A. If you are not choosing to recover that credit right now, you will need to select 113A for next year.

Happy Victoria Day!
Don't forget about course selections this week. You do have an elective you can take next year. Mrs. Hamilton and Mr. Martin were around to our class to talk about it just before school closed. There is a link on this website to course selections; if you click that, you will enter a whole section that shows videos for each class on how to make your selections, and what the process looks like. The link is also there for the actual course selection site.
You will need YOUR logon for this. Let me know if you need a password reset. If you have ANY questions at all, feel free to email me at jean.macdonald2@nbed.nb.ca.
Your Language Arts assignment this week will get you thinking about the choices the author is making, and whether those choices are working to engage the reader. The assignment is below:

Hi everyone! I am glad to hear from some of you that the essays are coming along very well. Some have asked for a review on how to incorporate research into paragraphs, so I have put together some guidelines for that, below.
Some of you are writing an explanatory essay, using your own knowledge. For that, you won't need to include research; however, you could still use the plan as a loose guideline for how to format your pararagraphs.
This week, could you send along a few paragraphs (upload it to Teams, or email me at jean.macdonald2@nbed.nb.ca), so I can see how you are doing? I look forward to seeing the essays come together.
