Comm 12

Two weeks until Christmas!

 

I encourage all students to submit any previous work and stay up to date. For the next two weeks, we will be working on our grammar skills, vocabulary, sentence building and reading comprehension.

 

Before we travel down that road, I thought you should have an opportunity to check your marks and hand in any work you may have completed this last weekend.

 

Great! Let's get going.

Due to a slight delay, this Tuesday, you will have an opportunity to gain 5 marks for presenting your research on your Historical figure. Have a copy of your research and briefly summarize your findings. Be prepared.

1. After silent reading, complete your worksheet on sentence building.

2. Read your handout on short stories.

3. Read story one and answer the provided questions.

4. Class discussion. This is time for you to ask and questions that you may have about the assignment.
