Grade 11Trimester 3 Learning Package

May 5, 2014 First IST completed

The first ISTs are now completed for both the Grade 11 and 12 classes. If you missed the IST in grade 11 please see Mr Kim and you can do it in class.

We are getting ready for the second IST in grade 11... the students are going to be role playing with a partner on the differences between a good citizen and a bad citizen. I hope to be finished the IST by the end of next week.

Grade 11 students should be keeping their ecart up to date so they can receive complete marks. Remember Vocabulary tests are usually every Monday.

The grade 12 class is going to make a "HOW TO" presentation. They can ake a video or powerpoint on how to fold/wear their Gutra.  Students make the presentation and save it to a usb stick and bring it in to class. They can also present directly to the class by making a speech.

Here are some examples of video presentations that you can use as a model:

This is a short trimester so the first IST assignments will be finished next week.

I am including the poster for the February "Students of the Week" Congratulations to all the winners.

The grade 12 class will not need an ecart folder for this trimester. ADEC wants only the IST and the product/speech done for the class work. the rest of the mark is from the ADEC exam mark.

Remember the second chance for the  EMSA exam is next week. We will be reviewing for the exam this week. Please come to class.

Here is a practice EMSA exam to review at home.

Time for exams and for all classwork to be handed in.

Go to the January post to find the file for your grad if you have not handed in your ecart. Print it out and fill in as much as possible. I need these by Tuesday if you want a good mark.
