Dialogue/Interview Assignments

Both classes (FSF1D1 - grade nine academic and FSF3U1 - grade 11 university) classes are working on oral assignments to wind up the first unit of the course.

Grade nines are working with irregular adjectives, reflexive verbs and expressions of activity to introduce a partner.  Many groups have chosen to engage with digital tools in the spirit of TLE (Transforming Learning Everywhere) and are recording their interviews using their iPads and uploading them to the HUB via the Board's video hosting site, called HWDSB.tv.  Exciting times.

Grade 11s are employing the futur anterior as well as the imperative with pronouns to put on a fictitious visit to a travel agency.

Next week, preliminary reports will be prepared and going home (I believe) in advance of March Break.  Unlike the mid-semster report and the final report card, these reports will not have a percentage mark but will indicate only whether the student is "Progressing Very Well", "Progressing Well" or "Progressing with Difficulty".

Shortly thereafter, you will be able to go on line to book a parent-teacher interview which will happen on a date I will post here very soon.
