Hello children! You have a book report due on the 21st of February. The report will be based on how much of your independent book you have read so far. For those of you who are confused, remember how we read independent books every Wednesday? Your book report will be based on the chapters of that book that you will have finished reading by February 16th. The general outline and format are attached here. However, please remember that you have to organize the format into paragraphs. You may not submit the report in a point form. Please let me know if you have any questions. Happy studying! Ms.S
Hello everyone,
This is an important message about university applications. The deadline for many universities is THIS MONDAY, that's the 15th of January. Please check the websites for the universities you are interested in attending. If the deadline is not this Monday, you're fine. If it is this Monday, please get your applications in RIGHT AWAY, BEFORE MONDAY. You can always send them the documents later. If you need help, please see our wonderful counsellor, Ms.Ahmad. Have a wonderful weekend! Ms.S We can't save the world, but we can try and use less paper.
We can also be more informed. Let's work together as a class to make this happen! Ms.S Hello class, For those of you who weren't here, part of this class involves a book club. I will be running it every Wednesday throughout this semester. All you have to do is pick any book you like, and read it over this semester. As you're reading it, use the discussion guide I've posted here and ask yourselves the questions provided. At the end of the semester, you and I will be having a one on one discussion about your book, and that discussion will be graded and will form part of your final score for my class. Here is a pdf of the Discussion Guide for our Book Club. If you feel like the questions are not applicable to your book, feel free to talk to me or choose another one. Let me know if you have any questions. Happy Reading! Ms.S
Hello everyone!
Welcome to your first semester of 2018! I'm sure we will have a great time together. Happy learning! Ms.S Hello class! Here is what you need to know to create your surveys. The aim of this survey is to gather information on consumer culture in Vancouver. Here are the questions you should be asking: 1. Who are the consumers? (age, ethnicity, gender, etc) 2. What are the most common/popular things that they buy? (split this into essential and non essential shopping) 3. How much money do they spend on essential shopping? 4. How much money do they spend on non-essential shopping? 5. Why do they shop? 6. Do they shop with their friends/family, or alone? 7. How often do they shop? 8. What do they spend most of their money on? 9. How do they save money while shopping? 10. Do they do any impulse shopping? Please also include a question about brand loyalty. I have also posted an example survey here for your reference. The example survey is on coffee drinking habits, so it's not the same as this survey, but the questions here are a good model for you to follow. Happy working! Ms.S
Hello everyone!
This is just a quick reminder that your final exam is on the 7th of December. That's a Thursday. The exam will consist of multiple choice questions, with a short essay at the end. It is worth 25% of your final grade. Let me know if you have any questions. Don't cry, I'm sure you guys will pass, unless of course you say mean things about me. Happy studying! Ms.S Hello Communications 12 students! Here is what you have to do if you want extra credit: 1. Pick a book or a short story 2. Write a 400-600 word essay on it, which should include the following: a) Why you picked the book/short story b) What genre it belongs to and a background/analysis of the genre c) A summary of the book/short story. d) An analysis of the main characters e) Compare and contrast (you can compare and contrast two books from the same series, for example, Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone and Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, or The Hunger Games 1 and 2). f) Why you think this book/short story is important culturally, socially, or historically. Please let me know if you have any questions. If you do want extra credit, please hand in the essay next Wednesday. I'll be using the rubric attached here to grade your work. Happy thinking! Ms.S
