Period 1--ELA B 30
We had a presentation from the University of Regina and Woodland College today in period 1 for all grade 11s & 12s. 

Period 2--ELA B 30/AP 30
ELA B 30--These students did a listening assessment today for the first half of the class.  For the last half we came together as a whole class to look at the History of Language as we get ready to examine Beowulf.
AP 30--For the first half of the class, the AP students had time to work on their Frankenstein essay.  For the last half of the class, we came together and will be together with the whole class for the next month or so. 
The students were exposed to Old, Middle, and Modern English and we've started to have a quick look at how the language has evolved over time.

Period 3--Pre-AP 10
For the first half of the period, the students were called down to the gym to be introduced to Activity Week that is starting this week,  We were split up into our 4 teams and had some tug of wars to determine the strongest team of the school.  After Mr. Michalchuk explained the activities for the week, we went back to class.  The grade 10s were given their Macbeth timed writes back with lots of feedback on it.  We then went through a number of their "writing sins" and spoke about how to correct some of these issues. 

Period 4--History 10
The students used this class in the computer lab to finish working on their newspaper assignment.  Most of the students finished this during the class.

Period 5--History 30
We corrected the questions that we started on Friday.  After this, we watched an instructional video to supplement some of the information that the students learned throughout the first part of this unit.  We will finish watching this tomorrow and then do some more review.  The students had to fill out a 3-2-1 sheet (3 things they learned, 2 things that surprised them, and then 1 thing that they still have a question about).  As a reminder...they have an exam on Friday (point of contact to Life in New France).
