Hello

Hello,
On Friday, Sept. 16th I collected the Top Ten assignment. I also collected journals which is an ongoing assignment. Today in class we looked at some writing samples and discussed the introduction, body and conclusion in essay writing. Students need to narrow down a topic for writing in class tomorrow. They will have a personal narrative due by the end of this week. Most of our assignments are completed in class. If your child is away from class then they will need to do some work at home. Some students may need to write in their journals or read at home in order to meet the requirement for each term. Please email me if you have specific questions or concerns. You can find my address on the homepage, email a teacher section. I want to hear from you.

Welcome to 10 English

Hello,

I would like to welcome the grade 10 students to English class. This year the focus will be primarily on reading, writing and speaking skills. Students all have a novel that they have chosen, each day there will be time to read in class. Some students who need extra time should also be reading at home to meet the requirements of four novels each term. I will be working hard to be sure that students find books that are of interest to them and that are just right in terms of reading ability. Please ask your child about what they are reading. Please email me if you have any questions or concerns. I would like to keep in touch with parents throughout the year.

Thanks,

Ms. Leslie
