Last day students read an article about Mark Haddon and answered questions. These were handed in before the end of class.
Today students are writing a mock- original composition to get us 'in the mood' to write our English 12 provincial on Friday morning.
Students must finish reading The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time by Thursday's class. We will write a short test on the novel this Thursday afternoon.
I provided each student with an interim Term 2 grade last week.
