Hi Class! Please retell the events of your weekend. Write to the best of you ability – some suggestions:
Hopefully you were able to enjoy the wonderful sunshine.
Hi Class! Time to wrap up your stories. Your job is to read the story you started, then write a conclusion to it from any point. You do not have to use everything that has been written, simply choose a point in your story and insert the conclusion.
Hi Class! Read yesterday’s post and threads. Contribute at least three sentences to one or more stories. Pick a story you have yet to work on.
Hi Class! You are writing parts of several stories for the remainder of the week. First, your job is to write the beginning of a story. Once you have written at least three sentences, post your story for other students to continue writing. As other stories develop, contribute at least three sentences to several other stories. Leave no story unwritten! Click this link for some story starter ideas.
An interesting beginning will generate interest from your peers. Similarly, the development of the story must allow for others to contribute easily. Be aware that people may not add to your story. Likewise, it is possible for stories to branch off in several directions. You may contribute to a story only once.
Who will win the Stanley Cup (Vancouver or Boston)? In how many games (4, 5, 6, 7)? Which player will win the Conn Smythe Trophy (playoff MVP)?
Hi Class! June 1st is coming soon. You will be emptying your desk, storing materials in your locker, and bringing them to and from the class on a daily basis as a practice for Grade 8. What do you think will be the good things and bad things about this practice? Will your transition be easy or difficult? Explain your thoughts.
Hi Class! Does watching television, playing video games, and surfing the Internet influence your behaviour? Is the influence positive, negative or both? Explain your answer with specific personal connections (examples).
Hi Class! If you could be anywhere in the world right now, where would you be? Explain what is appealing about the place you have chosen by making personal connections.
Hi Class! Please pass along your suggestions to improve our most recent unit on puberty. What was helpful/unhelpful? Were the booklets useful or not? Do you prefer videos or discussions and activities or both?
Your answers will not be posted, so please provide feedback that will improve this unit.
