Friday Sept 9th

English 10/11

Today we spent time considering the brain and how we can set ourselves up for success this year.  We learned that in order to get better at something (like reading/writing) you need to practice and that the brain is like a muscle.  All classes wrote a paragraph about how to apply what we learned today to life as a student.  The video clip and article we read has lots of good news for students...everyone is capable of improvement!

Homework:
  • parent forms handed in asap
  • Silent Reading book...get one, Tuesday we read together for 15 minutes at the beginning of last period
  • set up your binders...an easy 5 marks.  Follow the steps on the sheet you received
  • finish your 'Brain' paragraph, it should be the first piece of paper in your writing section
***Block B English 11 only- finish your 'Getting to Know You' sheet

Have a great weekend, see you Tuesday.
