March 1st

In English class, students worked through a mock debate learning how to present an argument/thesis statement in preparation for some writing next week.

For homework, 8-7 students need to come up with a thesis statement, 3 sources (MLA format) and an outline of their 3 arguments for Monday.

8-8 students started presenting their Geography presentations. We will continue tomorrow and do some more Art.

All the best at Kiwanis tomorrow and congratulations to the skills team for all of their hard work.

You should still hand it in tomorrow.
Think about something people discuss, TTC, euthanasia, etc

Ms.C:
The skills team came in first place!!!!! We will be starting to practice again in April, for the provincial competition that takes place in Waterloo(which means more missed classes). Everyone did an awesome job!!!
Also, is there any thing I need to know about this thesis statement thingy, because I'm not sure if we'll see you tomorrow(Kiwanis).
Sabine.

Ms.Cosburn I kind of have the same problem as Georgia because I wasn't here today because I was at hockey and I also won't be here tomorow... I don't really know what a thesis is so I'm not sure what I am supposed to do for Monday.

Yeah hey ms.cosburn. I wasn't here today for english because of a doctors appointment so i have no idea what you mean by the thesis statement and also I'll be missing tomorrow morning because of Kiwanis. I don't know how to do it so can you try to explain it as best to you can on the bolt or can I get an extension until iafter it's explained to me?

Thanks Naat

Yordanos,

RELAX. I know you were asking some questions today and you seemed a bit unsure. Touch base with me tomorrow. Maybe I can help you.
