English 11CW (Pd 2 & 4): 

Short story unit final exam.

If you missed today’s class, your parent/guardian must email me to excuse your absence and they need to include a phone number where they can be reached to verify you have missed a major assessment. Providing this has taken place, you can write an alternate exam on Fri, Nov 1/24 at 8:00am. This is the only make up date for this exam and you will need to confirm with me via email that you plan to attend so I can ensure I have a copy of the alternate exam ready to go for you. For absences that are not excused, you will earn zero on the unit final exam.

Collect textbooks and update book cards.

English 12: 

Journals #4 and 5 collected at the start of class.

Note taking: properly punctuating and spacing dialogue in your writing –

Use quotation marks to show the exact words of a speaker:“I love you.”

Use a comma to separate the quotation from the rest of the sentence:“I love you,” he whispered.

Sometimes you will use an exclamation mark or a question mark to separate the quotation from the rest of the sentence:“I love you!” he exclaimed.

A quotation may also be placed in the middle of a sentence:

“I love you,” he whispered, “even though you killed my hamster.”

“Even though you aren’t very nice,” he muttered, “I still love you.”

“Hey, dude?” he asked. “Can you get off my foot?”

Hand out criteria for final writing assessment for this unit and discuss. If you missed today’s class, please use the following link to access the criteria sheet: http://sd41blogs.ca/dubes/files/2024/10/Eng-12-MW-Final-Composition.docx
