Apr. 20 - Apr 24 Schedule

Happy Monday to you all. By now, here's what should have taken place:

- you've logged onto the Portal and completed your discussion question/ check in (Gr 8s, ENG10). I've responded to your comments.
- you've logged onto MyBluePrint and are making your way through lesson 1 (CLE). If you've submitted your work, I gave you an email confirmation (for this first assignment), letting you know I'l have it marked for you by tomorrow.
- English 10 students (who submitted their essays before the break) should have received a scanned PDF of their marks back
- Socials 8 students who submitted their Fall, Fights, and Faith notes should have received their feedback electronically




Here is what is coming up this week:

English 10: Your Portal check-in is due by 8PM today. On Tuesday (tomorrow), we will begin our first lesson on media bias: specifically, how language shapes our perspective through connotation. There will be a powerpoint and one assignment to download and work through, due the following Monday (8PM).

CLE: Your article summary is due at the end of Tuesday. On Wednesday, I will upload our next lesson, where we look more specifically at what is being said during an interview.

English 8 & Socials 8: We start our poetry unit tomorrow, as well as a review lesson on everyone's content on the Fall, Fights, Faith notes section -- initially we were going to teach each other, but given that presentations are a little challenging, we'll do pair discussions instead. Your work for English and Socials will be due by 8PM the following Monday, so please make some time for English on one day, and maybe Socials on another day this week.




I know that it may seem overwhelming to have all these online courses, but remember that time is yours. If you want to abide by the 8:20AM start time schedule, you could. If you want to use the Day 1/ Day 2 system, you can. This is a time to learn time management while also balancing self-care initiatives. If you need support with balancing your courses, we can always talk about time blocking strategies.
