ELA 20
A disappointing class today. The assignment was a very quick write of a letter to the editor and after 1/2 hour very little was accomplished. A more mature attitude would be a sign of respect.

ELA B30
Test on Chapters 9-12 Lord of the Flies tomorrow. This week we will be discussing various themes and motifs presented in the novel and will write the final quiz on Friday.

ELA A30
The Aboriginal Contemporary Voice authors are Rita Joe and Drew Hayden Taylor (The Special Occasion). Obviously, you appreciate the humour of Taylor!! Questions are due tomorrow.

ELA B10
Read the short story - Luke Baldwin's Vow. The short story criterion is due tomorrow.

Two weeks today exams start. Make sure you are here every day!
