On-Going+Assignments

=Welcome to 6 Martin - September 2012=

April 26, 2013 As we approach the end of the year, there are a few assignments that I would like to detail. We are studying the Westing Game novel and each student is creating a diary of a character of their choice. After each reading session in class, students are given time during a quick-write to write a diary entry from the point of view or Voice of their character. After each set of 5 entries, we will do self and peer revising and editing. Students are expected to publish their entries as homework. Due dates are on the wiki agenda page.

We are studying and reviewing chapters 1-7 for our second cummulative Math test. Two review/practice packages have been created and will be completed during the first week of May in class. Students are encouraged to use IXL to further practice these skills and to see me for help if they do not understand any of the concepts being reviewed.

We are beginning our Flight unit next week.

Students have started to practice a variety of literary techniques to prepare for their memoir writing.

Please feel free to e-mail me at jmartin@pembinatrails.ca if you have any questions or comments.

Thanks,

Mr. Martin
