Grade Twelves - June 22

Hi all,

I hope you all had fun at your grad and that you got home safely.

I don't expect to see you when I'm on the line tomorrow (6-9:30) but I will be on the line from 9:30-1:00 on Tuesday, June 24 and 1:00-4:00 on Wed., June 25.  You may pick up your children's books or essays directly from me - they have been in my car all week.

Lit kids: please return your textbooks to the office, or I won't be able to teach the course next year!

Hope to see you some time this week!

Writing 12/ Lit 12 - June 16

Hello,

I have marked the children's books and will be marking the Lit Romantic essays.  I'm not sure yet when you can pick either of these up.  They will both be included in your report card mark.

When you do get to pick up your children's books, make sure the picture of you and the kid does not fall out.

See you soon (at least on Saturday).

Lit 12 - June 13

Hi Guys,

Sorry we didn't get a proper good-bye, but I will be at grad, so bring your cameras/phones and we'll get a group picture.

If class is in session Wednesday,  you will have a choice between the quote test or the essay test.  The quote test will give you the authors and work, you will have to discuss style, and theme.  It will also have an identify the author and work and you will discuss it in the context of the work as a whole. There is also a sight reading section.

The essay test has two 10 mark mini-essays and a full essay.

It is your choice.  Your exam will be out of 50 and will be weighted 20% of the year.

If class is in session on Tuesday, we will have a fishbowl on the topics: nature, spirituality and heroes.

Exams

If we are in session on Monday and Tuesday, exams are as scheduled.  If not, they are cancelled.  I will keep you posted as to when you may pick up your marked assignments and tests.

Bard on the Beach

Meet outside of the box office at 7:00.  Bring a little blanket - it gets a little cold.  It will probably be over by 10:30ish.

See you there.

Lit. 12 - June 9

Prepare "Song," "Sonnet 43," "Darkling Thrush" for Tuesday, June 10

Eng. 11 - June 7

The Scottish Play test is on the following:

Literary Devices, Plot questions, Character questions, Shakespearean language, Quote (speaker, circumstance, significance), Paragraph questions: 80 marks

A good way to study would be to pick out important quotes from the play and test a partner with the quotes.

Make sure you review the literary terms sheet at the beginning of your package.  Review your questions.  There will be a paragraph answer relating to Polanski's movie, so if you were away, make sure you have watched this.
