For the long weekend

Thanks for a great week! There was lots of fine discussion going on. Fantastic presentations by English 11 students, great work on the Memoir assignment preparation in Creative Writing. I am impressed by the hard work the grade 12's are doing on the poetry assignment and I am excited to see what creative things you will do with this project. Have a great long weekend; enjoy your time with friends and family.

English 12
Read Chapter 1 of Night. Formulate 6 questions for the chapter. They should be questions of various levels. (See the sheet handed out on Thursday). We will verify the questions on Tuesday. Chapter 2 and questions will be due for discussion time on Wednesday. You will be in groups of no more than 6 for the book discussion.
Reminder that your presentations are due on Tuesday. Four people will present each day. Make sure that you have a back up system just in case something goes wrong.

English 11
Finish the study guide sheet. Work on theme statements for the study guide. We did 3 in class on Thursday. Make sure your statements are broad and relate to humanity in general. Do not make them morals. Remember that a moral tells you what or what not to do. We are going to review essay writing and there will be an in class essay test on Friday. You will be able to use your notes etc. in class. We will be choosing our group novels on Tuesday.

Creative Writing
Proposal for your memoir assignment is due on Tuesday. Writing time on Tuesday and Wednesday. Editing and reading time on Thursday. We will negotiate a due date when we see how well we are doing.
Remember to bring your reading books to class every day.
