COMPUTERS 7 Blue
The students completed questions on Internet Security on Google Classroom. They also had time to finish up any other incomplete assignments. Those who were done early had some time to work on Hour of Code.
ELA 9A & 9B
The students read silently for ten minutes. Then they chose 20 lines (or more) from their various poems (Reversal, Ravenesque, Haiku, Tanka, Terse Verse. and so on). They typed out these poems in good on Google Classroom, including the type of poem, a title, and the poem itself. A printed good copy and their notebook needed to be turned in. Sonnets and Remembrance Day poems could not be used as they have already been marked. If students did not get finished during class time it is homework and due on Monday.

SENIOR FRENCH
Today we started going through reading strategies and putting them into action by reading about the animals used in the various wars and the start of a Commemorative Train Trip they are making across Canada. Students read and highlighted what they understood, then we discussed as a class.
READING STRATEGIES
a) Look for words you already know.
b) Look for words, which are the same or similar in English.
c) Use the pictures for help.
d) Use a dictionary for words that you don't know.
e) Use common sense and think what the writing is about.
ELA 8A
The students read silently for ten minutes. They then had the rest of class to complete the good copy of their Personal Narrative. It should include:
*a real event from their life
*five senses (hearing, sight, taste, touch, and smell)
*take only minutes, hours or at most a day (a short time)
*dialogue (internal and external)
*first person narration (from their point of view)
* contain a message
Students need to turn in a printed copy and their notebook. If students did not get finished during class time it is homework and due on Monday.
