Congratulations graduands!!!
We spent today going through folders - doing the first parts of the "Final Self-assessment" sheet, so that students can continue as they receive work, and be prepared for next week's meetings.
Tomorrow - Discussion #3
Wednesday - In-class write #3
Friday - Final project due (online submission through Teams - rubric coming in, in hard copy)
Have a wonderful night!
Today's class ran exactly as outlined in yesterday's post.
Students also heard an excellent essay read aloud - hopefully this helped them to situate their own work in relation to grade-level expectations.
Next week, we will continue lit-circle work. On Monday, students will begin to build their final self-assessments, and by the time their final projects are submitted on Friday, the 14th, there will only be one piece of coursework yet to submit.
Students did a full, in-class write today - those present were very focused.
Those who were not present should note that extra practice writing under pressure will make their work better, and give them more work to choose from at the final selection.
Tomorrow, students will hand in HARD COPIES of their annotated bibliographies at the beginning of class. We will then go over the work that has been completed thus far, and what is yet to come.
The sun is shining - but stay the course!
Yesterday, students finished up their research presentations.
Today, lit circle groups worked through their second set of discussion questions. These questions will be handed in tomorrow, after the second in-class write.
Stay focused! There are only a few weeks left, but those weeks are full of work and fun!
Students who are behind are reminded that the end of term is fast approaching. Any overdue work not received by the end of tutorial on Thursday, June 13th will receive minimal feedback, will not be assessed until all other assessments have been returned, and may result in required attendance for Review and Completion.
Lit Circle presentations spanned today's block, and are scheduled to go into tomorrow's class time.
Along with the written/rubric feedback for presenters, peers were asked to consider offering real-time feedback on the following:
Students received their final assignment, and worked hard on presentations for next week - **Students should be ready to present to their lit circle groups during Monday's class.
Students worked hard on a number of things today - tomorrow they will receive their final assignment for the year.
Monday - is the day students should be prepared to present their research to their groups!
Anyone who handed in all work on time has now received all of those pieces of work. Students ate Timbits, and enjoyed a new piece of media ...
