Week Four
And week two of no internet. No news on that front. ( I have fully lost the ability to update at school so web site updates will take place later in the early evening. Sorry for the delays) Tuesday and Thursday are flex days. Monday is a five block day with a Truth and Reconciliation lesson in block 2. Wednesday is a holiday so no school. We welcome October this week.
Grade 8s will welcome back Ms Birkas on Monday and we look at stereotypes and paragraphs and then do some writing this week.
AP Lit will tackle a piece of writing this week and jump into their second package of short stories.
EFP 11 has some writing time for their stories and then will look at narratives and how to show and not tell.
Onward we go.
By the way I watched a great video on how to kick the screen time addiction along with how it grabs us. I highly recommend the video. Video is 22 minutes long.

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.
