Today we read our novels for half an hour.
We discussed the last two weeks of school with respect to the schedule and how the exam schedule will work this year.
We discussed the format of the provincial exam. Specifically, we focussed on the last section of the test: the writing section. This section is, by far, the most important section of the exam.
I provided three examples of the types of writing that can be done.
I provided a handout entitled English 10 - Pfeiffer: Some Worthwhile Tips for Your Upcoming Provincial Exam and we went over that.
Students worked for 45 minutes on a practice "Writing Essay" from an old provincial: the writing prompt is People learn from a variety of sources. This is due for homework at the beginning of class on Friday.
Also for homework, please continue reading Speak. You should be up around p. 80 by Friday.
Remember: elevate your vocabulary . . . elevate your thoughts.
