For grammar, we worked on main/subordinate clauses. We also finished discussing "How To" instructions and watched Ted Talks: "How to Start a Movement". Questions were to be completed for this. We also looked at the short story "Borders" by Thomas King.
During the second half of the period, we looked at the Provincial Exam structure and the expectations for the written section of the exam. Samples of writing were posted on the walls all over the class and students circulated the classroom to evaluate them. Blocks 1/2 were fortunate enough to have Mr. Pfeiffer to them teach them about the exam yesterday. We also looked at the written rubric and the terms to know for the exam.
Reminders:
- Blocks 1/2: "How To" questions due Friday, Oct. 31, 2014
- Blocks 5/6: "How To" questions and "Borders" questions due Friday, Oct. 31, 2013
