Welcome »Term 3 :)

Hi Everyone!! We have made it to 3rd Term and with Report Cards going home this weekend I hope that everyone has had a chance to reflect on their efforts in the past term.

In English Class we spent a lot of time focusing on Response Writing in Term 2 - this culminated in the students writing their Mid - Year Response on a short story called "The Nest".

As was somewhat expected, the stress and anxiety accompanying exam writing caused some students to struggle with expressing their ideas and adequately elaborating on their points - however I am very pleased with the progress students are making this year and I am optimistic that Term 3 will be our best yet.

Here are some of things Students can expect to cover in Term 3:

Non-Fiction Informative Writing (Research Project)

Book Club - Literature Circles

Story Elements - Creative Writing

Intro to Debate / Effective Listening and Oral Communication

Response Refreshers

Journal Writing - Higher Order Thinking Prompts

Stay tuned for updates and assignments!!
