Final marks!

Great news! I was impressed with many of your final exams. Wow, there are some great English students out there.  It was a long exam but so many of you were patient and tried your best in your last composition.  The class average for the final exam was 75%.

When you look at the marks, please not that the column called "Term 3" is actually your final exam mark.  Click here to look at the marks.

I had a great year and thanks so much for the class evaluations.  You've give me lots to think about and improve upon!

Final Exam day and Term 2 Marks

Today we wrote our final exams.
Click here to see your Tentative Term 2 Marks.  Check back for your final exam marks and your final mark.  They should be completed by Wednesday of next week.

Thanks so much for being a great class.  I hope everyone had a chance to type out a teacher/course evaluation and drop it off with Mr. Louttit in the library today.  If you didn't have time to do this, you can always type one out and just leave it in the office for me to read.

Studying for final!

We focused on three things today (like yesterday):
a. we worked on our final exam review
b. students with assignments not done, worked on them
c. we watched 20 minutes of The Boy with Striped Pajamas

Remember, our final English 9 exam will be this Thursday afternoon.

Pineapple Sauce

We learned that Bruno's arrogance led to his demise.
We did a year end review handout.
Students worked on their Bruno Paragraphs.

Save what you need to save.
River was wearing pants -- finally.
Keyon's bike seat is up in a tree.
Dawson tried to make Mr. Pfeiffer lose his cool.
Eva mentioned peanut butter.
Doree worked like a DEMON.
DAni had a cool hat.
Dom got his work done.
Alex worked WITHOUT any string.
Wes had a copywrite on his paragraph. (the idea was stolen from Daniel).
River broke his sunglasses.

Select Samaritan

We began by looking at the poem, Select Samaritan, and answering the questions on the worksheet.  We noted that the parents in the poem were remarkably racist, and although it was shown rather subtlely, they were rather horrible people. This worksheet was handed in.

We continued with our reading of the novel.
Students were given a final exam review booklet to work on.
Final exam will be on Thursday June 20th in the afternoon.
We watched the first 15 minutes of the movie The Boy in the Striped Pajamas.  We will not have a big novel test on The Boy in the Striped Pajamas.

Students worked well on their Bruno paragraphs -- we'll work on this on Friday.  This paragraph will be due on Monday.
