Hello Grade 7 Parents and Guardians,
Report cards are being finalized and will be sent home Friday, Nov. 27th. Below is a breakdown of what we will be doing in English class over the next little while. Mythical Creatures — Students have drafted the three body paragraphs on their essay. Our focus of the next few classes will be writing the introduction and conclusion. Then we will work on seeking feedback, revising, editing and polishing. Book Promotion — The book promotion is due on Dec. 1st. Students will have class one more class, Nov. 26th (small date change), to work on the project. All other work should be completed at home. All the best, Hugh

It is hard to believe, but we are almost done the first term of the school year. I am enjoying my first year at Harold T Barrett. The kindness of students, staff, and parents has made me feel part of the HTB community.
Mythical Creatures — Students have conducted their research and have started to draft their Mythical Creature essays. We will take the essay through the writing process to make sure it is well written and ready to publish. There is no due date set for this activity. I’ll let you know when it is due when we are a little further along. Book Promotion — The book promotion is due on Dec. 1st. Students will have class time on Nov. 13th, 18th, and 27th to work on the project. All other work should be completed at home. Students did a superb job creating and presenting their artwork representations of “Tiam’s Promise.” I can honestly say, this is some of the best work I’ve ever seen.
We will now move into a writing unit titled, Mythical Creatures. Students will learn how to prepare for research, will conduct research, and will use the information they find to write an essay. Students have also begun working on a Book Promotion based on their independent reading. The final product is due on Dec. 1st. Students will have time to work on this in class, but may need to work on some of it at home. |
