June 25- Last Post for this School Year

Well classes are over and school is done (unless you are resitting an exam). I hope everyone has a great summer. I will be returning in September and will again be teaching the Grade 11 classes.

I have had an interesting and exciting 6 months in Al Qua'a and I hope next year is even better.

If you have a friend or family member in grade 10, please let them know about this website so they know where to go for information about my classes next year.

June 18th
Exams are now finished and I hope everyone did well on them. However, if you did not do as well as you had hoped, please make arrangements to attend the "RESIT" exam for English.

Resits are scheduled from June 23 to the 27th in Al Ain.

Please see the school to make arrangements to register for the exam. These exams are administered in Al Ain.

Last Week of Classes until Exams Begin

June 2 We are into the final week before the exams begin. This is a short week as June 6th is a holiday. There are still a few students who have not handed in their assignments or eCart.

Please have that completed before I must submit my marks to ADEC.

A reminder that the work submitted should be your own, not photocopied or copied from someone else. Simply handing in the sheets that you were assigned, with no attempt made to complete the assignments, will not give you a mark. The work must be completed. This is the same work we did together in class.

Remember to come to class this week as it is a regular week of school. (Except shorter)

Please Study for Exam on June 10

May 29 If you have not picked up the old exams to study for the final exam, please use the files I am including here. These are copies of the old 2012 Term 3 exams so you can use them to study. Please review your vocabulary from term 3 as well.
Grade 11 2012 Writing test
ER11 Reading Sheet
ER11 Answer Sheet 2012

Remember to hand in any work that you have not submitted. If it is not handed in you will receive a mark of 0% for that assignment. PLEASE hand the work in before your mark is submitted to ADEC.

It is that time in the term when you need to hand in your folder/file for your mark. Make sure you have all your pages and that they are completed. Your Table of Contents also needs to be completed. Do not photocopy someone else's work and hand it in as your own.

You will be preparing your Lifeplan speech on Monday and it is to be presented in front of the class on Wednesday.

We will begin working on Test taking skills and tricks to help you get ready for your English Exam. The exam is scheduled for Monday, June 10th.
