Past Due homework:
Students need to have a reading book for each and every class. For now I am just trying to encourage many students who identified as reluctant readers to pick up a book at their reading level or above and read for pleasure. Index cards are needed for an on going vocabulary project that will continue throughout the year. Parents and students please check under the LA resource tab of this page for the welcome letter, still need about 50% of students and parents to respond with their plan for success this year. In LA Class today We did some reading and sharing of our novels. We started our frayer model vocabulary activity, and because this time was cut short we will continue this work tomorrow, with the vocabulary to be handed in on Thursday. In Social Class today We had a very brief discussion around the significance of 9-11. We started in the computer lab a current events assignment, to look issues of today, for example, the impact of the hurricanes, forest fires, taxation reform, just to name a few. Just to be clear a current event is an issue with more than one side. so for example a story about a murder although important generally doesn't impact the wider population. Since the time was so shortened today as we also did a fire drill, students will be given some time tomorrow to work on this. Students need to have their work ready for peer and feedback review for this Thursday September 14th, with a good, typed final copy to be handed in on Monday September 18th. As an aside I have enrolled all students in 9C in an LA/Social D2L shell, as it makes it easier to post resources such as our textbook, and assignments as well as being available their to work on, can also be handed into the assignment dropbox, so cutting out the chopping down of many trees. Class updates 9C
For Thursday please ensure you have at least one highlighter for class, 2 is preferable. Homework due Monday September 11th
