Welcome to Composition 10, we will be starting off the course with a discovery of senses. Keep an eye out for a smattering of images that will be on display throughout the week.
UPDATE April 6th- Hello everyone, just a reminder to check Microsoft Teams for all of your class work this week. This is linked through your Office 365 email and will be best way to communicate, ask questions, and collaborate during this time. Some classes as you may have seen are already up and running, but some have not been fully setup as of yet. As a staff at Burnaby Mountain, all of your classroom teacher will be contacting you BY THE END OF THE WEEK. I hate to use caps for this, but it needs to made clear. As Friday is a holiday, we will also make sure everything is out to you by Thursday. This will be a slow start everyone, so please be patient and know that we are all in this together (yes with the voice of Zac Efron). Look forward to touching base with all of you this week.
