Mme Jenkins (7E)

Here is tonight's homework:

Francais - Les presentations des recits biographiques commenceront demain. Parents: I have been asked by the Dept. and the District to send some writing samples of my students work. I am very excited about this and I will be randomly selecting some students from both of my FILA classes. This week, I will send home the consent/permission form to do so. If your child has been selected and you have any concerns, please do not hesitate to contact me. The writing samples that I will be providing to both the Dept. and the District are copies of their "Recits Biographiques".

Sc.Nat - I handed back the Rubrique for their Biome Project. All students received them back today, don't forget to show Mom/Dad :) Students will also be having a Science Test next Thursday, December 16th. We started working on the Review Sheet today, and will continue on with the review tomorrow and Thursday in class. If they complete the Review Sheet and use that as their Study Guide, they will not have any problems with the Test next week. I am available for extra help at noon hour on the days that I don't have supervision which are Thursday, Friday, Monday and Tuesday. If you need help or just have a couple of questions, please come see me :)

All students in my homeroom went home with their Netbooks today. I also provided them with a copy of the Guidelines for Care and Use. Please continue to review these Guidelines with your child. I have explained to the students that it is important that they charge their netbooks upon arrival after school. Once they are done working with their netbooks in the evening, they are to shut down so that they save their battery power for the next day at school. Netbooks will only be charged during lunch hour in the nests so it is important that they come to school with them fully charged each day. As well, students were provided with their cases today. I would only like to see three items in their carrying case: their netbook, their cord/battery and their memory stick. Students are not to be putting pens, pencils, paper etc. in this carrying case. Should you have any concerns or questions, please do not hesitate to contact me via e-mail.

Have a fantastic night,

Mme Jenkins

Lyrics as Poetry - Points of Order

Lyrics as Poetry – Points of Order

1) Ensure your song is a ‘clean’ version, acceptable for school.
2) Your slide order: Title Page, Lyrics, Meaning, 3 Poetic Devices (3 pages), End Page.
3) Your song may play in the background (YouTube) as you are presenting your lyrics or play from another computer from a key drive.
4) If you are planning a video, it is to be shared at the very end.
5) Do not put a timer in your project. It is to be operated manually.
6) Use capital letters for main words in titles and main words in song titles.
7) Underline a song title when listing it or referring to it.
8) You are to explore 3 poetic devices, each on its own slide. You require only one example of each.
9) Poetic Devices: definition, example, explanation.
10) Rhyme Scheme – try to have each line on one SINGLE line so that there is not a break.
11) Rhyme Scheme – analyze 2 verses only
13) Save your project as “Lyrics First Name Last Name”. Example: Lyrics Brent Springer.
14) You are to ‘drop’ your project into the appropriate 7C, 7D or 7E LA Drop Box entitled Lyrics as Poetry.
15) Please be aware of how you will be evaluated (checklist on pink form).
16) You must evaluate yourself on a pink grading sheet.
17) You are to attempt to speak about your project while facing your audience without reading word-for-word off the screen or computer. You are also expected to politely remind audience members to provide you with their respectful attention.
18) During each presentation, audience members are expected to be respectful, to listen and to participate in a serious and appropriate manner. A 10% listening component is part of students’ entire mark.
19) Those who are finished will begin presenting next class.
20) Date your project December 2, 2010.

LA Notes - Updated November 30

LA Notes

Symbolism - a symbol is a word or image that represents something else. The eagle is a symbol for the United States. The red maple leaf represents Canada. The dove is a symbol for peace. The colour white symbolizes purity.

Poets/songwriters use the symbol frequently because it often has a strong emotional impact as in the song Blackbird by Paul McCartney. The blackbird is not a bird at all, but represents the black race of people.

Simile – compares two or more unlike things using the words ‘like’ or ‘as’. Examples include: The elephant is like a rope. The ice was as smooth as glass. She is as tall as a giraffe. The teacher is like a drill sergeant.

Metaphor - compares two or more unlike things NOT using the words 'like' or 'as'. Examples include: The giraffe dunked the basketball. The noisy children were a carnival ride out of control. I am a brain in PRA.

Personification - giving human qualities to an idea, animal or object. Examples include: June bug plucking his guitar. The oversized coat swallowed me whole. The hole punch ate the sheet of looseleaf. The alarm clock was yelling at me this morning.

Rhyme Scheme - the pattern of end rhymes in a poem. Mark the lines that end with the same sound with a letter. Begin with the letter 'a', and then mark each new sound at the end of a line with a new letter. Example:

This bridge will only take you halfway there .......... a
To those mysterious lands you long to see: ............ b
Through gypsy camps and swirling Arab fairs ........... a
And moonlit woods where unicorns run free ............. b
So come and walk awhile with me and share ............. a
The twisting trails and wondrous worlds I've known. ... c
But this bridge will only take you halfway there- ..... a
The last steps you'll have to take alone. ............. c

Here is tonight's homework:

Just a few reminders tonight:

1) UNICEF campaign began today: All students are encouraged to bring in some change for our "pig". We will be having a "hat day" in order to raise money for UNICEF. Don't forget to pay $1 to wear your hat on Friday :) I will provide an update tomorrow letting you know how much our class has collected thus far.
2) Language Arts Literacy Assessment begins tomorrow. Students will be writing the assessment on Tuesday and Wednesday this week. Please don't forget your pencils, erasers, dictionary etc.. to write the assessment. Students will be provided with a juice box and a granola bar prior to the assessment. Tomorrow, the students will be writing from 9:00 - 10:30. Due to the fact that they assessment will occur during Nutrition Break, students will have their Nutrition Break from 10:30 - 10:45 (following the assessment). All students are encouraged to do their best on the evaluation. Students that are attending the Tim Horton's Camp in Nova Scotia will be writing their test upon their return back to school (on Thursday and Friday).
3) Interim Reports will be going home on October 25th. This is a great indicator on how your child is succeeding thus far. The report will follow the same format as last year that will indicate their Academic and Behavioural Performance thus far. Should you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me via e-mail or by phoning the school.
4) Maths - Feuille a terminer pour demain (les 2 cotes)
5) Francais - Terminer votre paragraph pour demain (Passe Compose)
6) Sc.Nat - Terminer les 5 adaptations pour ton animal pour demain. On discutera demain :)
7) $$$ for the Team T - Shirts are due by Friday. Just a reminder that they cost $7. We are planning on wearing them for the Firefighter's Challenge in the later part of November.
