Good evening everyone, 

Please find your homework below....

Course Selection - Course selection will be taking place between February 16th and February 24th.  All students are responsible for the following...

1. Decide with your parent(s)/guardian(s) what courses you plan to select.  Please have this completed by February 15th.

2.  Let Mr. Carr know if you have any questions.  

3.  Mr. Carr will sit with each student and help them submit their course selections.

4.  Parent(s)/Guardian(s) will eventually be required to approve the course selections.  High Schools will email families directly.

5.  If you are attending a non-YRDSB high school, please contact that high school for details around course selection.

High School Info - 2 new resources have been added to "High School Information" on Google Classroom.  These documents may be helfpul as you select courses.  Some additional pieces of information to consider...

- Students will select 8 courses for next year (4 per semester).  There are 6 compulsory courses to select, and 2 choices.

- Please select 2 alternatives in case you do not get your first selection(s).  

- It is strongly recommended that students make a grade 9 Arts selection in order to meet this compulsory credit.  

- In "Group 2" of the "Orbit" document (recently posted on Google Classroom) there is a Business Studies option.  Please note that if this is something that interests you, there is a grade 9 option under Business studies that you can select.  It is titled "Introduction to Business".

Literacy - Please complete step #1 from THIS ASSIGNMENT in our Stress and Anxiety Unit.  If the link to the text is not working, you can see the bottom of the text  (Due tomorrow)

Science - For Task #3, please add to your answer for the third question.  We worked on this in class.  Your task was to explain whether or not you believe work is being done if I push a bookshelf, the bookshelf does not move, but my arms continually move up and down in a "push-up motion".  (Due Friday)

Drama - The Same, but Different Task is due Wednesday.  We will enjoy group presentations.  (Due tomorrow)

Portfolios Signed - Please have a parent/guardian sign the sheet in your portfolio.  Please ensure you return your portfolio to Mr. Carr.  Thank you, everyone :)  (Due Thursday)

Have a great evening,

Mr. Carr
