Welcome back!  We had a great first day.  Below you will see the course outlines.English 10: Be sure to finish your interestalyzers for tomorrow.Writing 110: Complete the writing inventories and hand them in.

We have finished reading Romeo and Juliet and are now watching the Bazz Luhrmann version of the film.  On Friday, students will receive a review sheet for the test, which will be on Wednesday. On Monday, Adam Hayward will be speaking to all of our grade 10 English students about his experiences in Rwanda, with a particular emphasis on reconciliation.  The students are looking forward to this as we have been analyzing connections between reconciliation in Rwanda and the play.  On Tuesday, we will do a follow-up activity to Mr.Hayward's presentation.

We have finished Act 3 of the play so make sure that you catch up with your reading if you were absent.  We are beginning to incorporate more lessons related to reconciliation in Rwanda.  So far, this has been an eye-opening journey for our students, who knew very little about the Rwandan genocide.  We are making interesting connections between Romeo and Juliet and the reconciliation process in Rwanda.  If you missed today's class, or you would like to know more about the genocide, visit some of the web links that I've uploaded. Your next creative extension is due on Monday!

Today we compared two film versions of the balcony scene.  Using a graphic organizer, analyze the similarities and differences between both versions and write a half page response (the assignment is attached).  You will find online versions of the scenes in the web links section of my website.  This is due on Monday. Don't forget that your first creative extension is due next Wednesday.

As you know, our marks are due Monday morning at 8:00am.  Therefore, any late assignments MUST be handed in to me tomorrow (Friday) if they are to be included on the report card.  Please be aware that I will not be accepting any late assignments after tomorrow.
