Welcome back!!  I hope that everyone is well rested and ready to get their brains back in gear for the final weeks of grade 12 English.  I will put our week plan below so that you can see our plans for review this week.  I feel confident that we are ready but need to do some polishing with our writing this week.

Socrative - Lit Review for "Identities", "On the Rainy River", All My Sons - 20 mins
Hand out review packages - to be worked on at home and when we have left over time in class
Personal Response to text/ Visual reflection - practice - timed writing - 20 mins to plan a response for the 2013 diploma exam - reminder about the choices for writing and the marking.  Discussion about writing from the heart.  Make the writing real.  Try to avoid discussing things you know little about.  Show empathy and understanding.  Avoid generalizations.  Show shades of grey.  Avoid absolutes.  Choice -write this for homework tonight and I will mark...can replace a previous personal response to text assignment.

Specific details practice - write about...a childhood toy….take out the blue writing cards.  Discuss.

Finally, Reread previous personal responses - learn from your previous mistakes...it’s what makes us better.
