Three objectives were taught today in English class: we reinforced the importance of elevating your vocabulary (with a worksheet from Speak); we reviewed the "English 10-Exam Tips" sheet and focussed on the 'Original Composition - Writing' section; finally, we did an actual practice of the Writing section by practicing. That is, for the second half of class, students quietly sat at their desks and completed a 'mock provincial exam composition.'
The writing prompt used was "Keeping an open mind allows for growth." These compositions were handed in at the end of class. Beth, Kate, you can do this whenever you'd like (please give yourself only 75 minutes and then turn it in when you return).
Students should continue reading speak (no reading homework was given). Students should have read up to p. 116 by this Monday.
