It seems as though Blogspot cannot handle videos that are too large.
I was absent yesterday due to the West Conference Track and Field Championships. Marks, in case you were wondering, were given back for the 1 Point Perspective Art and the Narrative Paragraphs, written earlier this month.
There was a Health class today along with the French Culture class.
The marks for the Dance performance last week were returned. Individuals received a mark for their effort and participation throughout the preparation process and a group mark was assigned for how they did in the performance.
The CASI (Reading Comprehension) work has been marked and I am pleased to say that all of the students, with the exception of 2, improved on their performances from the First Term. I am going to share the responses with the students, encourage them to bring them home, and then provide them with some samples of how the questions could be answered in order to attain a Level 3 or higher score.
We are 10 pages shy of completing Half Brother and looking forward to beginning the Hunger Games novel. A number of the students have seen the movie but not read the book. I think it will be a good opportunity to compare the two because I am hoping we may be able to watch the film as part of our year end celebrations.
I am hoping that all the talking and viewing of topics around the Titanic will prepare the students for answering some reading comprehension questions about the disaster. For homework tonight, the students were asked to read a short article on the Titanic. Tomorrow, we will read it as a class and then do a Reading Response on the article before working our way into answering questions about the passage.
HOMEWORK: Complete reading selection on the Titanic disaster.
