Semester 1: final week of classes
This week is the last one before end of semester. After Monday, we will take a break from your architecture project to get your reflections, self-assessments and goal setting done for your conferences next week. This means, unless you have fallen behind in your work, you should not have homework this week as we will work on it all in class. Study for your end of semester exams, eat well and sleep well so that you can perform well. Also - restock your pencil case with extra pens, pencils, erasers and any other item you may need for your finals (e.g.. calculator, ruler,…).
Monday - we will be working on your architecture project in class.
Tuesday - Friday: Bring your binder. Be prepared for some messiness as you look back through past work and select pieces that you think demonstrate your growth and abilities.
***The reason we will spend a lot of time setting up your portfolios now is because you will be running student-led conferences just before spring break on March 4. It is also important for you individual growth to have time to reflect and assess what you have done, where you want to go and plan for how you will get there.***
By Friday you will have signed up for a 10 minute conference time slot on Monday - Tuesday mornings from 8 am -11:30 am next week. You may only sign up for a time slot once your portfolio and the reflections are completed satisfactorily.
Flex times Hum 8: Tues, Wed and Friday this week

Course Selection, Innovation Fair Prep and HW Reminders
Hi everyone,
Thank you Block 1 for being so great for Mr Hoskin today! I hear you all worked really well together and I am looking forward to reading your revised paragraphs.
Block 1: Course Selection Fair Post - due Friday on your group blogs
Today your task was to peruse some of the options available in grade 9-12 as electives. Now you are to post 3 elective courses you might be interested in the future, why are you interested and where or who can you see for more information?
(PS You don't need to feign interest in Law 12 or PDD 9-12…. Unless of course you are truly interested in the fabulous courses that they are ;)
Block 4: reminder that tomorrow I expect you to be superb for my TOC as I am away at a a district meeting. Flex time tomorrow will not be available unless you ask the TOC and she allows it. If you need a space and quiet to work, try the LST room at 11:30. They are open for everyone.
Thursday (tomorrow), you will be spending a lot of your time in class on your written paragraphs (narrative, persuasive, explanatory, and descriptive). Ensure that you have all your process with you (brainstorming, outlines and rough draft).
Good copies of all your work will be stapled in separate booklets and handed in on Friday. Good copies should be written in blue or black ink or typed. Remember - we do not have printing at school so make sure if you type you are able to print at home - if your printer runs out of ink or is not working, write or print out by hand.
