Tuesday June 5th

11s-  We're almost there...only two more classes...I'm going to miss you guys...

On Monday June 11th we will celebrate our year of working together.  Each student will deliver a 1-2 minute toast to the class.  Today we went over the specifics.  You must write your toast out in order to participate.  Keep it positive, keep it about our year of work together.

We also wrote a year end reflection on our reading.  The good, the bad, and the ugly.

Final Literature Meeting on Thursday June 7th - Be ready to work the final pages of your novel and share your experiences of reading together, as well as a 'book report' to your peers.

10s-  Okay...so close...the Provincial is breathing down our necks (what poetic device is that?).

Today we talked about strategies for multiple choice and essay/written answers, and made a list of what to bring to the exam.

You should have handed in your 2 poem T-chart + compare/contrast paragraph.

For Thursday:  complete your life events spectrum,  isolate the BIGGEST event, dig deep and work your way through each level (1-5), focus in on the message.  Next day we will look at past essay topics and draft a narrative essay.

For Monday June 11th- ensure that you've got your novel/poem comparison ready to share.  We'll celebrate our year together.
