Wednesday Jan 22

Tuesday was a one day withdrawl of services and there was no class.

Wednesday we took one final look at the exam review ideas and I conferenced with any student that wanted to see their mark going into the exam.

I shared that the exam for Period Four is going to be Tuesday Jan 28 in Portable 2. You should plan on showing up at about 8:30 am.

Ok! Good luck and thank you for a great semester!

I even posted some of the exam answers in the Helpful links part for the CA. Make sure you check those out.

Monday Jan 20

We are in to the final stretch of the course.

I did show my students their mark with the CA included today.

We spent the period prepping for the exam and getting those last few assignments owed in to the teacher for assessment.

I strongly encourage students to do the assignment from Thursday.

This is the article we will be reading today. Here are the typical questions. See above for a level four

Keep going!

Friday Jan 17

We needed to do the final touches on a few things.

Exam prep. Osslt prep.

Still bugging people for their AAM unit stuff - updated marks for that should be in on Monday.

Thursday Jan 16

I'm away today.

Read this story as a part of your exam review.

Email me your responses to the following questions. This will be marked.

1. What's the point of view of the story?

2. What is the most significant conflict in the story?

3. How important is your phone for you?

Wed Jan 15

Today was made up of a few things

We did some exam review. We read this article and chatted about both Part A of the exam and Part B of the exam. On the actual article is an example of a Part B type longer answer question that a typical English teacher would use as a writing prompt on an exam.

I'm running out of articles on that page and so I'll delve into my former exams and use those for exam review articles moving forward.

Another round of nagging and showing students what they needed to have handed in for the All About Me unit was also done.

I showed an example of a Task Three Writing Portfolio completed and an example of a completed Task Four Professional eMail done as well.

Finally, we watched this

That Alan Watts. What a guy.

Tuesday Jan 14

And we are still working on the All About Me Unit.

We also read this article for the OSSLT and exam prep together too.

I also gave some advice about this summer.

Monday Jan 13

...and on to Monday.

One of the last Mondays in this class. It was a good one, too.

Anyway, we continued finishing off CA presentations and we also worked on finishing off the All About Me Unit. Quite a bit of this unit is owed.

In order to practise for the exam we read this article and did a similar exercise to what is on the exam.

Here is the list if you wanted to go forward and read a few as a part of your own prep for the exam.
