This week in humanities, students continued working on their short stories. They created a plot graph outlining a basic story arc, then created a first draft of their story using a paragraph organizer template, and finally created a second draft with self edits and modifications from their first draft. The second draft should be finished by now and was assigned for homework if incomplete. It can be written on lined paper or Google Docs.
Next week, students will be writing a 2 paragraph news story reflection for the month of November and will complete the final copy of their short stories. Students will edit the second draft of their peers, before working on their own final copy, using their peers' edits and suggestions.
Also, students will be walking to Forest Lawn High School and Jack James High School on Wednesday, November 27 as part of the Grade 9 High School Tours. Students will learn about the high school experience in preparation for Grade 10. NO LUNCH will be provided and NO OPPORTUNITIES to purchase a lunch will be available. Therefore, ALL students are being asked to bring a BAGGED LUNCH for the day.
