Monday Septmeber 13

Monday, September 13, 2010

Remember to use D2L to keep track of what is going on at the school, by looking at announcements, and also your marks. This way there are no surprises. You can also view the textbooks, course outlines, and some other information as well like the lunch menu. Take a look around and see what you can find.

I look forward to meeting all of your parents/guardians at the Meet the Teacher evening on Thursday September 16 at 7:00 pm. Remember that you should be coming with them to show them around and make sure that they do not get lost.

7-01 & 7-07

  • Hopefully you have already handed in your Yellow Pages assignment as it was due today.
  • Remember to bring your required materials to class (2 duotangs or 1 duotang and a work book) because we need them.
  • Make sure to bring a novel to read every Monday and Wednesday.
  • Your Visual Poetry assignment is due tomorrow Tuesday September 14. Please look over the handout and the rubric to ensure that you have not missed anything.

9-29

  • Today was the last day of class time to work on your Life’s Road Map assignment. I have extended the due date to Thursday September 16 as many of your stated that you need a bit more time. Hopefully you use this extra time wisely as this is the second extension given and therefore I am expecting amazing work.

Marks Section Up and Running

Tuesday, September 7, 2010

I have now updated the Marks section of the website to reflect the classes I am teaching this year. Please log in to see which forms you have returned and which forms are still missing.

I will do my best to update the marks section every time I have marked an assignment. However, depending on my schedule and other commitments that I have it may take me a few days to mark each assignment and update the marks online.

Let me know if you have any questions.

Cheers,

Mr. Lang
