Check your email for the invite. Crazy times here in Room 403. No need to print out your assignment.
Whether tis nobler in the mind to let students figure it out,
or place the homework online for their success...
To gain a marble, aye, there's the rub,
for what anger and hostility must I face should a party not ensure.
And, thus, the desire to do other things online doth make a coward of me.
and makes me lose my resolution to simply post on the whiteboard alone:

Poetry and Media
Here is The Link to the doc I shared in class. I wrote it originally as a Word doc so it didn't seamlessly translate to a Google Doc. If you email me, I can attach the original Word doc if you like.
This Second Link has the slides I shared for Poetry (spoken word, primarily) for my Gr. 10 Spoken Language class.
This Third Link is for the poetry houses-- it contains the 3 levels of questioning for meaning.
Email me if there is something else I mentioned in the workshop that you would like help with.
Happy to help!
Enjoy the poetic process,
Rebekah Loconte
T'was the night before Ignite and all through the school,
were last minute preparations, so no one would look a fool.
The posters were left in the classroom all done,
In hopes they would help their class be crowned #1.
The students went home with dance steps on lock,
While a song replayed in their heads to no one's shock.
When out from the internet the teacher gave the word,
that homework still needed doing, however absurd.
Twelve A had to read two essays of persuasion,
But Twelve C was free to work on any other equation.
The wind had ceased blowing to reveal a lovely sunset,
with evening strollers donning poppies, 'lest we forget'.
(see yesterday's blogpost, 12A, for which questions to complete)
Read page 301 Ode to the User Friendly Pencil and page 318 Thank You for Not Killing my Son
For the first reading answer Structure 1-3, 5, and Style 2
For the second reading answer Style 1, and Argument and Persuasion 1,2, 5
Lined paper only please. No laptop required for this exercise.
CS 12 students you are completing 1-4 questions
1. How does
quarreling differ from an animal fight?
2. Do you
think the Law of Nature transcends civilizations and ages? Why or why not?
3. What does
Lewis observe about people who say they don’t believe in a real RIGHT and
WRONG?
4. What two
points does Lewis conclude with?
All grade 12s will be in English 12 for A block, with Mr. Brock's blessing.
We have a guest speaker, an author, and she can only come for one block.
Please arrive on time and listen well as she will undoubtedly offer information on writing (you have two essays coming before Christmas break), Please also feel encouraged to ask her questions.
The specific homework for your long weekend (yay!), is to think about how you can write a persuasive essay against your expository essay. Turn that in on Monday.
But above all, enjoy the long weekend-- you survived your first term of grade 12. One down, three to go.
So there's no hw but there are presentations tomorrow in English for movie and poetry.
That's it : )

On my old vintage desk will be the repository.

Staple them all together, I don't want an email.

After, we'll see a bond between Winston and O'Brien igniting.

Collecting them after their due is totally 'the norms'.
So it's those three things to complete over the weekend,
And I hope you find moments with loved ones to spend.

Ch. 3 questions for MC.
Finally, I want to seeing nothing but Orange Crush looking back at me tomorrow. Wear your orange shirts!
What is an ‘ideology’? If you were to describe the ideology which you believe, on which principle(s) would you say your ideology is based: Freedom? Law & order? Material comfort? Something else?
SAMPLE IDEOLOGY:
“Totalitarianism has abolished freedom of thought...it not only forbids you to express--even to think--certain thoughts, but it dictates what you shall think...and it shuts you up in an artificial world in which you have no standards of comparison” Orwell.
Hiii,
Okay CS 12 students tomorrow is judgment day, lowercase j. You are presenting on your specific world religion. Let's go in alphabetical order; so Buddhism- you're up first. Be prepared to submit (digitally is fine) your annotated bibliography too. Let's use the email associated with this account: rebekah.loconte78@gmail.com
Here is a link to the annotated bibliography I shared with you in class on Monday: Easy Bib
According to SFU, an annotated bibliography or annotated bib is a bibliography (a list of books or other works) that includes descriptive and evaluative comments about the sources cited in your paper. These comments are also known as annotations.
You do not need to evaluate your sources; describing them is sufficient.
English 12
Okay so if you are in A block you need to finish the rest of the chapter and answer 6-10. If you are in C block you need to read chapter 6 and answer the questions. Fret not those of you who are also in CS and have a project tomorrow: it’s relatively short and intriguing
English 12
If you are in block c you need to read chapter 5 but if you are in block a, you have a night off.

I realize some of you may have read this story before. That is okay. There is no test but there will be some questions on Monday. Please (re-)read it and be prepared for a discussion. If you haven't read it in a few years be sure you know the order of events and main characters names.
Yes, I recognize it's lengthy. It will be the longest short story we read and you got all weekend. Take care and
See you Monday!
I can't believe we didn't see the last 20 minutes of Macbeth. Man, the ending is a real douzy!
I wasn't able to find it online... PBS owns the rights to it, I think, but below is the website I went to, perhaps you savvy youngins can find it if you really try and want to see how it ends.
I will show it in the fall though; we simply must see this through!
Also if you have AppleTV you can watch a B & W version of Macbeth. There is a version released last year with Denzel Washington as Macbeth.
---
HAGS and if anybody finds the PBS version, feel free to put it in the comments below.
Still showing it in September, though, FR!
Your English 11 final is Thursday, June 15th at 9am.
Please arrive by 8:45 latest.

English 11
Nothing for today.
English 10
Today's free write is based on this image: https://www.worldpressphoto.org/collection/photo-contest/2021/gabriele-galimberti/1
Here is the Poetry Slide for today's instruction.
Go to the 7th slide. Create your first poem called a concrete poem. Slide 7 has a video and instructions.
If you look behind the book on my music stand, you will see a copy of some student's poems from last term.
English 11
Do not reveal the jury's findings until tomorrow.
As for today, your poetry assignment #2 is to write a poem based on a lie.
The composition of this poem is based on your own criteria.
For example, when we wrote "I'm Not the ___ You had in mind", you had to write a 40 line poem of rhyming couplets and include at least 3 poetic devices.
For this poem, you create your own restrictions.
The only requirement is that it is at least 14 lines. So you can say something like:
1. My poem will be 20 lines
2. My poem will be free verse (or 5 stanzas of 4 lines with ABAB rhyme scheme).
3. My poem will use 4 poetic devices: 1 metaphor, 1 simile, 1 alliteration, 1 allusion
4. My poem will expose a lie (or perpetuate a lie or explain why I lied)
It's entirely up to you. That is the challenge and hopefully, the fun of this next poem.
So again, state how many lines your poem will have, what type of rhyme scheme it will have, which and how many poetic devices you will use and what type of lie your poem will be about. I will grade your poem according to how well you stick to your criteria. Choose carefully, sometimes making something that you think will be an easy criteria can create it own challenges, too.
Hand the criteria in by the end of the class (and take a pic for yourself)
English 11
Hi, so I gave you two handouts: one on sentence fragments (been seeing a few in your essays so it's worth it to review) and one on Macbeth. Complete both for Monday (back side only for sentence fragments)==note I have done the last one for you but read it over.

Hello, you are reading up to page 30 (stopping at enter Portia). At the start of Act 2, you will see Brutus struggling with the choice to join the conspirators. He does. Then they come in to his house and collectively decide how they will proceed with the assassination and who else, if anybody, to kill.
Please complete the questions that accompany this part of the reading: Act II, scene i, #1-14. I know these seem like a lot but we will definitely review tomorrow. (Marble, anyone?)
I gave a handout in class today which asks you to paraphrase Brutus' soliloquy. DO NOT complete this as not all students have access to it.
Those of you who were absent will have to catch up on today's free write tomorrow (take a pic) and we still need to hear about the Islamic calendar.

The trial of the century continues...
Hello Tens,
Your homework for tonight is to find some fun facts about your specific calendar. As a group you will share your points. We will listen intently...these will then become fun bonus questions for future quizzes.
That's all.
Hello Elevens,
We are still gathering evidence for the trial. Work at home as needed. Trial begins on Monday.
Roles for Today:
Defense/ Prosecution: You are creating your opening statements. You will attempt to prove what to your jury? You will paint the character of Jack to be what kind of person?
What will we expect to hear from your side of the story?
Witness for Defense/ Prosecution: While the lawyers are busy preparing their sides of the argument. You can help. Create a set of questions the lawyers could ask you. Find Q & A that are supported from the book. The lawyers will get these questions and select which ones will help their cause.
Jury: You are at ease for right now. But when the trial begins you are to take notes on all the evidence you hear. You will then be sequestered to the Jury Room to deliberate whether you vote guilty or innocent for EACH charge. Did the lawyers present enough evidence either way to sway your verdict beyond a reasonable doubt.
Expert Witnesses: Connect with your lawyers and draft statements for your side. Research any evidence on findings that would support your side. Help the lawyers create questions they could ask you, and have answers ready. Your lawyers will decide which questions to use.
Court Reporters: When a sensational case is about to be heard, reporters will publish an article about the tenor of the crowds outside or write about what we know so far. Together, write a newspaper article about the story. Something that gives background and context. Consider including some people outside the courthouse who give statements. Something like: The mother of the accused, Jack, was seen wiping her tears outside the courtroom. We asked her for a statement on her son’s charges to which she replied, “My Jacky is a good boy. A bit of a temper at times but he would never hurt a fly. I think those boys are just jealous of my son.” Others around the courtroom hold up picket signs reading “Cut his throat, Spill his blood. Justice for Piggy.” This courtroom looks like its going to be packed with lots of interested parties. See article in the news today for a court case
