Week of October 3rd - 6th

This is a short week as there is a P.D. Day on the Friday. Next week is short as well for Thanksgiving is on the Monday.

ENG1P: This class continues to work on the narrative in another form; the poem. We are both reading existing poetry from the textbook and analyzing them and creating our own poems in class. The class is learning the definition of their created poetry and understanding how to create each one. This will continue into next week and when the class has completed betweeen 8- 10 poems they will bind the best 6 and submit their anthology for grading.

CHC2P: This class finished aspects of the first World War with a viewing of the Halifax Harbour Explosion and are moving on to the 1920's and 1930's. Or the Roaring 20's and Dirty 30's as some like to refer to them. This will take a few weeks to get through and while the class works away on these two decades they will also be completing a Time Capsule for the unit summative.

ENG2P: This class is ready to begin their first class novel. We start "Speak to the Earth" by William Bell. There are accompanying questions and vocabulary to learn as well as historical data (this was a real event that was fictionalized), movie's from the time, news coverage and articles on what was happening. The novel itself will be tracked according to the structure of character and plot development and the setting and mood changes.
