English 9: Students are now working on a final project for the literature circle unit: a poster showing what helped their character survive and an essay explaining it. These are due Friday, January 25. Next week they will start their second project, a group "talk show" oral presentation. They have seen a sample from a previous year and will receive an assignment sheet next week. The performances will be on Wednesday, January 30, which is our last class of the term.
English 8: Students have just completed the first draft of their memoir. Next class they will practice using the rubric which I will use to mark it. The final draft is due Wednesday, January 30 for block B1 and Thursday, January 31 for block C2.
French 9: We have only five more classes together before the class moves next door to Madame Keller. The food unit test will be in early February with her. We will spend the rest of our days finishing the food unit.
Drama 9: We aslo have only 5 more classes until this class is over! Our production of Jack in the Beanstalk is looking good. We will have two performances: Thursday, January 24, at 10:30 for the Cougar Crossing students and Monday, January 28 at 9:25 for the primary students of Gibsons Elementary. Parents of the grade 9s are invited to attend either of these two performances. We would like to thank Dominique's School of Dance for lending us so many of the costumes!
