Welcome to Comm 11/12
In order to be successful in this class, you need to attend regularly. Most of you have made it through the first week with great success! Here is what we worked on this week:
1. Grammar = Pages 1-4 (12 marks total).
2. Personal Paragraph = You wrote me a paragraph on a topic of your choice and we worked on improving word choice and adding sensory words to it (12 marks).
3. Sense Poem = We continued to discuss sensory words and using adjective prepositional phrases as ways to describe our specific nouns. You created a "Sense Poem" from a handout template and handed this in (10 marks).
4. Vinyl Cafe = We listened to an episode of Stuart McLean's Vinyl Cafe called "School Days" and you worked in groups to come up with what you thought was the recipe for this story. You then came up with a shared school experience and a general message or moral for this story (3 marks).
If you are missing anything from this week, or unsure if you are missing something, please come see me in room 219. I've attached a course outline here: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/16606516/comm_12_course_outline_2013_-_version_1.doc
