Hello parents and grade 10 students. This week was a great week of learning and improvement. We have been working really hard to improve our writing and I happy to say that I've seen many improvements.
In Friday's class we covered the following:
1.) Silent Reading
2.) Editing Conference for All The Troubles of I-Robot (final copy is due on Monday)
3.) Brainstormed a topic for our Persuasive Essay- (starting on Monday)
It is important that you come to class on Monday with a topic that you would like to persuade other people to believe. We will be doing some research and writinf a persuasive essay.
During Thursday's class we spent some time looking really closely at the structure of an essay. We discussed the following topics
1.) Introduction and Thesis Statement
2.) Body- Supporting Paragraphs and PEEC
3.) Conclusion- rewording the Thesis
Wednesday was a test day. The students wrote their short story unit test which consisted of the following:
1.) Literary terms
2.) Media and advertising
3.) Compairing two texts- literary response(these were done well)
Overall a great week of learning. This is the last week of term 3 so it is important that you hand in any missing assignments before Spring break.
