Hello! Here's what we're up to today:

• Checking in
• A presentation from Mr. Tse
• Course descriptions for English 10
• The blog and the assignment page- please take the time to bookmark this website (note the difference between the mobile version and the web version)
• Your list - activity to brainstorm what we should do
• The syllabus (this will be printed for Friday and sent home) and the plan
• Mr. McLean's policies
• Take a break!
• Discussion: What is your favorite type of book?
• Possible novels

• The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time
• The Absolutely True Diary of a Part Time Indian
• In the Heat of the Night
• Take a few moments to research, and we'll vote. Please note: this vote is not binding, but I'll do my best to connect classes with the book they want most.
• Literary Terms sheet, and activity
• Please note: I usually use quizzes, instead of worksheets, to check students' knowledge of texts, and I tend to use literary terms as a tool to analyse those texts. Any quiz will allow one page (double sided) of notes, so I encourage you to start taking notes now.
• Freewrite
• Looking ahead
