Whew!! Done the most stressful part of the exam and now it's time to enjoy some poetry and coast through our last week of classes. This week we will be working through some vocabulary and reviewing our terms (online games and quizzes each day) and then exploring some poetry. Please feel free to bring in song lyrics or poems that you really enjoy.
Most important for everyone in these final weeks leading up to exams is to try and create a balance in your lives. Attend classes, eat well, exercise, sleep well and study for short periods of time every day. Last minute cramming is not a successful studying strategy. As well, staying up late and not looking after your physical needs can cause problems with brain functioning.
On Monday January 19th, you will rewrite your diagnostic and then go over the answers. The diagnostic exam is the MOST recently released exam items and will help you to gauge where you are at going into the diploma and allow you to ask any questions you might have.
All late writing assignments should have come in on Monday, January 12th. I will accept late reading comprehension assignments up until this Friday, January 16th.
