Wednesday Jan 22

Tuesday was a one day withdrawl of services and there was no class.

Wednesday we took one final look at the exam review ideas and I conferenced with any student that wanted to see their mark going into the exam.

I shared that the exam for Period One is going to be tomorrow, Thursday Jan 23 in Portable 2. You should plan on shwoing up at about 8:30 am.

Ok! Good luck and thank you for a great semester!

We are in to the final stretch of the course.

I did show my students their mark with the CA included today.

We spent the period prepping for the exam and getting those last few assignments owed in to the teacher for assessment.

Keep going!

Today was made up of a few things

We did some exam review. We read this article and chatted about both Part A of the exam and Part B of the exam. On the actual article is an example of a Part B type longer answer question that a typical English teacher would use as a writing prompt on an exam.

I'm running out of interesting articles on that link, and so I'll begin to mine my stack of exams from previous years for examples of readings. We start that tomorrow.

Another round of nagging and showing students what they needed to have handed in for the All About Me unit was also done.

I showed an example of a Task Three Writing Portfolio completed and an example of a completed Task Four Professional eMail done as well.

Finally, we watched this


That Alan Watts. What a guy.
