We discussed our English 10 provincial exam (and provincial exams in general). We wrote down an outline on what is included in the test. Then, we worked together and marked five student essays and used the provincial rubric to determine what marks those students earned.
Most students commented that it seems fairly easy to pass the exam, but it is difficult to do well on it.
We also had a brief discussion on 'streaming' in education and what that means. Next year, some students will be in Communications 11 while others will be in English 11 -- that's an example of streaming.
Finally, students worked on their Society Reflections Project -- Final due date will be Monday.
