Week 7
I hope everyone had a good thanksgiving long weekend.
Tuesday & Thursday this week has flex time.
The grade 8s get new seats this week, and will be learning some new terminology and then exploring and writing narrative paragraphs.
AP 12 Continues with exploring poetry, including a multiple choice test on a poem.
The grade 11s continue to delve into symbolism and into an animated film as some content. Stories are told in a myriad of ways.
Do not stop working hard now, in fact start working harder. :)
NOTE: Parent-Teacher interviews are coming up in October, and I believe sign up is now. I often fill quickly. If you can not get an appointment with me but wish to communicate with me, then please send me an email.
What is English?
English is not just the study of spelling and grammar rules – that is the stuff that operates in the background. More importantly, English is the study of thoughts and ideas – a study of the human condition.
So what then is the human condition? It is the condition of, well, being human. Happiness, sadness, heartbreak, betrayal, revenge, triumph, honour, conformity, love and an ocean more of emotions and states of mind are all ideas that we explore in the literature we study. The study of English is really the study of the world, the study of thought, the study of understanding, and the study of our own mind all at once. It may not be easy, but it is important, and very worthwhile.
At this web site you will find course outlines, some course notes, handouts, and other goodies. Explore away.
