09/22/22 – ELA Writing – Stage 1: DESIGNING A PRODUCT

3 comments

This term, we will investigate persuasive writing with a twist. We are going to explore advertisements and commercials.

To begin: Please watch the following advertisements. Notice the differences.

Did you notice any advertisement techniques that made you feel sad? Enthusiastic? In the coming weeks, we will investigate more about these techniques.

In the meantime, it’s time to begin brainstorming and designing your own product. Use the following document to guide your design process.

Criteria:

  • Come up with a fun name for your product
  • You will eventually make your product out of cardboard and real life materials. Your product must be smaller than the size of a library return bin.
  • Your design must have at least 5 features.

Please see the picture below for an example of a Test Taking Pencil.

09/13/22 – ELA Writing – Letter to Self

Leave a comment

First assignment of the year! Please write a 3 paragraph letter to yourself. This letter will be returned to you at the end of the school year. It’ll be fun and probably cringey to read.

Please remember to…

  • Set up your page properly.
  • Title (Letter to Self) capitalized
  • Write on the correct orientation on your lined sheet of paper.
  • Focus on capitals and punctuation
  • ALL OF THIS determines what our mornings look like to start our days at 9:00-9:20.

 

See the picture below for what each paragraph should be about:

 

Here’s my sample:

06/07/22 – Math – Creating a short transformation quiz question – Answer Key

Leave a comment

See the example below on what you need to do. You will need to come up with an original shape, and then transform (either reflect, translate, or rotate) it three times.

See the sample below.

  • 1st, I drew my original shape in black.
  • 2nd, I translated my shape and made it red
  • 3rd, I reflected the red shape and made it blue
  • 4th, I rotated the blue shape and made it green
  • Finally, I coloured the green shape in to show my final answer as part of my answer key.

For each transformation, you must describe how you translated it in the 3 boxes on the right.
