Period 1--ELA B 30--We spent some time looking at plastic surgery today as an introduction to a story we are reading. The students did an entry slip where they had to write their opinon about cosmetic sugery. They shared their responses with two other people in the room and then we discussed it together as a class. We started reading the short story "The Nose" which is about a Buddhist priest who has an incredibly long nose and the lengths (pun intended!) he goes to in order to make it more normal. We weren't quite finished reading the story, but will do so tomorrow and then we'll do a bit of creative writing.
Period 2--ELA B 30
The regular ELA students were sent to Mr. Sob's room to work on a Reading Assessment for the story "Shooting and Elephant." This was individual and they will get a chance to finish it tomorrow if they aren't quite finished.
AP 30s--The Oedipus Rex essay was due today. We started discussing Frankenstein. We had a review quiz (that didn't count for marks) and then got into some of the particulars of the story. There is a power point with this information that we will continue to go over tomorrow.
Period 3--Pre-AP 10
We finsihed correcting the multiple choice from a few days ago. For the most part, they did well. This is a practice for those some multiple choice we'll do at the end. We then continued with reading the play. We're almost finsihed Act IV, scene iii.
Period 4--History 10
Their exams were given back at the beginning of class. There were a few 100% on the exam but there were some marks that weren't so stellar too. For those who didn't pass the knowledge part of the test, I've offered a verbal re-write for the kids to allow them to make up some marks. They need to make an appointment with me.
Miss Campbell went over the concept of paradigms with the kids and they looked at First Nations paradigms vs. European paradigms. There was a reading and a Venn diagram that needs to be finished for tomorrow.
Period 5--History 30
They wrote their Unit I test today. We start into the actual history of Canada tomorrow.
