English 10 Thanks for the course evaluations

This afternoon you'll be writing your provincial exam-- good luck!

Thanks you for the course/teacher evalutations. I read them carefully and have taken some valuable information from them (a couple REALLY creative ones too . . . one written from the point of view of a pen and another written from the point of view of my projector -- wow!)

Here are some points that came up in your evaluations a few times:
I was pleased that many of you felt that I did well in helping to improve your writing.
I should try and engage you with more creative writing opportunities -- childhood memory assignment was 'fun' for students.
I should employ more artsy projects in class to keep a good mixture of assignments.
Several of you also stated, quite clearly, that the Calgary Flames suck. Sadly, I have to disagree with all of you on that point.

I enjoyed teaching and getting to know all of you. Take care and say hi in the hallways.
Your final English 10 school grade will be available later this week. I'll post it outside my room.
Please make the time to see or email me if you have any missing assignments or tests that can be made up this week.
Your final exam mark will be posted on-line in about 3 weeks (Mr. Louttit in the library can show you how to find it when the time rolls around).
