I was out of the classroom writing a final assessment for my intern, Miss Campbell today, so "Thank you" to the staff who covered my classes and the students for behaving so well today!
Period 1--ELA B 30
The students had time to work on their persuasive essays today. This will be due on Monday.
Period 2--ELA B 30/AP 30 split
ELA B 30--The students had time to work on their persuasive essays during this class. They will be due on Monday.
AP 30--These students had time to work on their Book Annotation assignment. I would like these annotations in before Christmas, if possible. It is a huge assignment to do, but an equally daunting one to mark, so the sooner I get them, the sooner I can assess them!
WE'RE STARTING HAMLET TOMORROW, SO THE PERSUASIVE ESSAY IS HOMEWORK.
Period 3--Pre-AP 10
The students had to work on their viewing assignment--they needed to summarize the play that they viewed as well as write a paragraph that identifies and dicusses the differences they think would be important between a modern audience as opposed to an Elizabethan audience.
Period 4--History 10
The students corrected questions from the documentary on the French Revolution to ensure and support their understanding of the issues during the Reign of Terror. They then went off to the computer lab to work on their Napoleon assignment.
Period 5--History 30
We finished discussing responsbile government and when it was achieved in Canada. From there, we had a quick look at the Canadian contribution to the American Civil war (primarily the Underground Railway and the hesitance many Canadians had about becoming a federal union because of what they saw with the Civil War in the States). Toward the end of class, I introduced an assignment that we will come back to in a few weeks; this assignment requires the students to be responsible citizens where they identify issues of concern in their school , community, province, or country and determine what changes they would like made. We discussed some of these issues and determined which level of government was in charge of them. Later on, we will write a business letter to the various levels about the concern and request responses about their issues. It's always intersting to see their issues and the responses. Incidentally, the premier's office is the best for returning responses and are often personalized by the premier!
