Thursday September 12, 2013

Good evening,

As of late we have been working on Descriptive Text Articles and how to answer questions using the "Answer, Prove, Explain" (APE) format.  In the next couple of weeks, students will be learning more about these types of articles, and their first writing assignment will be to create their own.  The APE format can be used to answer any type of question which relates to a text, movie, song, etc..

It is extremely beneficial for students to discuss what they have been learning at home, and even practice using it wherever possible in contexts outside of the classroom.  This will allow them to become more comfortable using their knowledge, as well as identify areas where they may need extra instruction or need to ask questions.

Please find tonight's homework below.



-Music - Duotang or binder brought in for music notes, and title page completed (due tomorrow)


-"Getting to Know You" form (please return at earliest convenience).

-Gym form signed and completed (Due)


-Terry Fox Form signed and returned

-All forms sent home signed and returned (Due)

-Scholastic due Wednesday (for those interested)

-Arts program permission form (Due).



I hope everyone has a great evening!

Mr. J. Carr
