WEEKEND OF SEPTEMBER 24TH - 26TH

Hello Students,

Hope you are enjoying your weekend(no more pages of novel to read!! You finished reading a novel in English in one week!!).


I'll first post the assignments (including the blog assignments) and then give you an idea of next week's schedule.

ASSIGNMENTS

1. Novel Project: You are finished the reading phase and have had a chance to discuss the book as a whole.

Your assignment is to take some notes on the items that should be included in a review.(see page 46 in your binders). You will be discussing the information on Monday in your groups.


2. Evolution: First draft of summary from your outline you did in class. Please double space and print for Monday.


3. Blogging: Write an extended definition of "happiness". (Check the unit on Skyscrapers to remind yourself of what an extended difinition is). Remember also to comment on your classmate's posts. I think you are now quite at ease with the blogs.


NEXT WEEK'S tentative schedule:


  • Novel Project - Book Reviews and Panel Presentation of novels;
  • Evolution Unit:Second draft of summary and wrap up of the unit;
  • Happiness Unit which will eventually lead to an integrated summary -
  • Information about Research Project and Visit to Library (Thursday afternoon) - orientation and exercises in the library. Very important to attend.
  • Lecture Project

You worked hard and well this week. Continue.

See you all on Monday well rested and ready for a busy week.
