S.S. 9
Students wrote their chp. 3 test on Friday and started chp. 4 by working on a crossword puzzle using the vocabulary from the chp. With the completion of the French Revolution, we will now study Napoleon and some of his campaigns. There is a combined project for chps. 3 & 4, which students began on Thursday. This will not be due for a while, as we will need to finish chp. 4 first. They will have another class in the library computer lab well before it is due.
English 12.
Most students presented their 2 minute speeches on Thurs., and they were great! It is never easy to speak infront of one's peers. We have started studying poetry and will do several exam preps. throughout this unit. If students have not submitted their 3 initial synthesis essays, or their final synthesis essay for marking, they will need to do that ASAP - these are worth significant marks.

We have started chp. 3, which is all about the French Revolution. Students have been watching a History channel documentary which is quite well done, and depicts the events in a movie-style fashion. Students will continue to work on this chp. next week, writing their test for it on Friday, Oct. 15. They will receive their study sheet for the test in Tuesday's class. The chp. 3 project is combined with chp. 4, so they will begin their project next week, but it will not be completed until chp. 4 is finished.
It looks like most students submitted their chp. 2 projects, which is GREAT!

Students should have finished writing all 3 of their required synthesis essays, and now will have to pick their best one to polish and submit for final marking. This is a significant mark, so it is essential that they do a great job on this. Their final copy of the synthesis essay needs to be submitted on Wed., Oct. 13. The last assignment for the short story unit is for students to prepare a 2 minute speech which they will be presenting on Thurs., Oct. 14.
We will begin our poetry unit next week as well. Within this unit, there will be some preparation for the provincial exam.
Students wishing to write the November exam, should sign up with Ms. Confortin ASAP.

Students have been working on the English Revolution, and have almost finished up the unit. They wrote their test today, and next Monday they will have some more computer lab time to finish up the newspaper project that they started this week. The project will be due on Friday, but they will only have one more class to work on it. Please remember that all projects are required for the course, so it is essential that students submit it. If students are unable to finish the project during class time, then they will have to go into the library computer lab before/after school, or at lunch.
We are starting to notice some students are not completing and submitting their homework assigns., and as a result they are spending time with us at lunch to catch up on their missing work.
English 12
We have been working on our short story unit and on Wednesday, Oct. 6, students will write their short story test. They must know their literary terms for this, as well as for the provincial exam. To date students have written 2 synthesis questions, and they will be writing their 3rd one next week. Students have been struggling with this and need to work on improving their focus for these essays, as they are a major component of the provincial exam.
