On December 23rd, we are going to be showing a movie during Periods 2,3, and 4 in the theatre. Following the movie, we will be having our lunch period and then our outdoor noon hour. We will be having a pizza party for our team so we have decided that we will order the pizza to arrive at 12:45. From 12:45 - 1:20, we will have our pizza party in our respective homerooms, and I will be bringing in an ice cream cake for my homeroom class to enjoy :) We have also decided to have a Yankee Swap and it was decided that the kids would purchase a gift at a maximum cost of $5. This gift must not be gender specific. Should you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.

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.
