October 12

English 9:  Students are working on their fourth and final small memoir. Next week we will begin our large memoir assignment.  October 23 we go to the Heritage Playhouse to see Mending Fences. Please send in the permission slip if you haven't already.

English 8:  Students are researching their own hero and idol, about whom they will write an opinion piece.

French 9:  Students just had a quiz on some clothing terms and are learning the position of French adjectives.

Drama 9:  Students are working on a small restaurant skit which they wrote themselves in pairs. They will perform for marks on October 17.

I will be emailing interm marks for English and French home next week.

Next Friday I am off to Burnaby to the BC Teachers of English and Language Arts Conference.
