HSP3M: This class is completing their questionnaires. Different groups have either surveyed our secondary school population or sampled from Dunnville as a town. This week they are tabulated and calculating their results. The class is in the library Tuesday, Wednesday and perhaps time on Friday - since Thursday is the literacy test, classes will not run on that day.
ENG2D: This class is finishing Lord of the Flies with a test on Tuesday. They will have literacy test review this week to prepare them for the test. As well we will view the movie Lord of the Flies as a comparison to the novel. Next the class will be looking at some poetry and beginning our next novel. Best of luck on Thursdays test!!
ENG1P: This class is just about to finish the novel Crabbe. Part way through the novel the class predicted what they thought would happen (opinion paragraph) and they wrote a newspaper article about the main character's disappearance. Once they finish the novel, they will play reporter again and write a follow-up article now that the main character has returned from his disappearance - in addition the class will comment on how close or far off their predictions were.
Next week, we will continue to do some work from the textbook and have a look at poetry by looking at some of their favourite songs/lyrics. The literacy test will not affect this class Thursday as the test is only written in the morning and this class runs in the afternoon as per usual.

Week of March 5th - 9th
HSP3M: This class is catching up on their Journal Portfolio entries before moving from the textbook to their notes. The class will review independent and dependent variables, population and sample population and statistics before creating their own questionnaires. The class will decide on a social issue they wish to explore, select a sample group, design a questionnaire, administer the questionnaire and perform statistical analysis on their results. The practice version will be done in class this week and the 'real deal', after March Break.
ENG2D: This class has observed three different ways to present a seminar on Lord of the Flies, but there are more. The class has been assigned partners and a chapter that they are responsible for presenting; character, setting, plot, quotations, literary devices, connections and reinforced learning. Class time will be given on Monday and Tuesday with seminars starting on Wednesday for chapters #4 and #5, Thursday is Summative reading, and Friday will be chapter #6. After the March Break the rest of the chapters will be presented.
ENG1P: This class has completed questions for the novel Crabbe and have submitted #1 - #8 for grading. We will continue to read, answer questions and fill in a chart on the novel as well as work out of our textbook on paragraphing and creating a newpaper article. After the March Break we will continue with Crabbe and tie the newspaper article to the novel.
