Please comment on the revision process we used with the LOTF re-write.  Please include your thoughts associated with metacognition involved in the process.

Today we did the Hamlet objective test and started poetry.  I read my slam poem and we watched some other slam poets on video.  I also issued a lit devices work sheet.

Today we went to the computer lab to finish our LOTF symbolism paragraphs.  Next class we will discuss the questions and get ready for the objective test.

SS 11: Monday, 16 May

Today we did a review of the first half of the Chapter 7 questions.  Next, you reminded me that I did not put a SS11 post on the blog at the end of last week (I was away with the rugby team).  Please have Chapter 7 finished for next class.  Also, please finish #1-32 of Chapter 8.

We also watched a vignette on the introduction of the new flag on Feb 15, 1965 (as is reported in the
text - 1964 is when Pearson introduced the idea of a new flag).

History 12: Monday, 16 May

Today we finished the Cold War PowerPoint discussion.  We reviewed the causes and events that caused confrontation right after the Second World War.  We also looked at the Truman Doctrine and the MARSHALL Plan (the best plan, ever).  Next, we introduced the formation of NATO and NSC 68 to highlight the military component of this triple play (Truman Doctrine is the diplomatic component and the Marshall Plan is the economic component). 

For Wednesday, please write a one page double-spaced paragraph to summarize the three elements of the American reaction to the new reality of the bipolar post-WW2 world.

Today we spent the first half of the class finishing up our Hamlet essays and then we reviewed for the exam that we will write tomorrow.  See the notes for the format of the exam.  Good luck.

English 12: Friday, 13 May

Today was day two (of two) for the Hamlet essay.  You've earned a rest.  Next week, Tuesday, I think, we'll do the objective exam.

Thanks for your mature, focused writing over the last two days.
