May 8th
Most English classes worked on CASI. 8-5 will start theirs tomorrow.
8-8 will be attending a dance performance at Oakwood in the morning and our "All-City" friends will be leaving us for the last time :)
Then it will be on the musical rehearsals.
Although time is flying, there is still a lot of work for us to do before school ends. Most of this work will be homework and some projects. This will allow students to plan their time accordingly. There will be less detail on the blog and students prepare for high school and continue to use their agendas. The blog is meant to be a "Back-up" and a way for parents to check-in. It is NOT meant to replace the use of agendas.
Homework:
-Math sheet (both sides) for tomorrow
-Father of Confederation (en francais)-Thursday ( you're welcome for the extension)
-French sheet (both sides)-Friday

hey ms cosburn
sorry i didn't respond to your comment
i was too busy with homework
am i the only grade 9 who is talking to you in your blog?
to answer your question i was thinking of going to humberside because i want to go back to strings
and they have a good strings program
to be honest i rarely use my violin
i can't go back to extended french because you have to take grade 9 extended french before you can go to grade 10 extended french
this was worse mistake i have done
i should have stayed in extended french
fingers crossed i got accepted
if you want i can tell you if i got in
about danforth
we went back but only a limited amount of classrooms are used there because other classrooms were badly affected
so eastern commerce shared their classroom
it's kinda a struggle for me because just today i went to eastern, then to danforth, then back to eastern, then back to danforth
you probably heard that this incident was an arson and now police are investigating
kinda scary!
I was just wondering if Father of Confederation in French is just Père de la Confédération and is it capitalized?

Super Julia!
Dear Ms.Cosburn,
I was wondering if you wanted us to do both sides of the french sheet and also when is it due?
Thank you,
Sarah Roberts
Yes Sarah. It as passe comp and some vocab. It is due Monday
I am trying to get some work done in advance to make it easier for you because I will be absent so I was wondering if the new art project was in French, if I can start painting it on a canvas of whatever size and how I should present the biography ie. on a Bristol Board.
Thank you so much and I hope you have a relaxing long weekend.
Hi Sophie,
I am glad you are managing your time so well. Aren't projects great?
You can paint any size you like and use paper if you want.
You will be getting 3 marks. One for Art, one for French oral and written. Therefore if you don't do as well in one area, your whole mark won't be affected. You can present however you like, speech, bristol board...
Have a great weekend too! :)
I was working on the art project and I was wondering what we had to do was it
Draw the same thing as the original artist or an adaptation?
Thank you
-Funke
The AIM is for you to reproduce the original work as best as you can.
Paint=paint
draw=draw etc
Choose something you are interested in and that you are able to reproduce fairly well.
Mrs. Cosburn,
I was wondering if you could tell me what we did in class today. I was getting a x-ray for my back because I fell and hurt myself. I am fine I just have a bruised bone and a slightly out of place rib( which has now been fixed by my chiropractor). I am also wondering for the art project, do we just fill out the sheet, make a biography and remake the piece of art?
Thanks a lot,
Sarah Rose
Mrs. Cosburn,
I was also wondering what part c of the project sheet is.
Thanks again,
Sarah Rose
Ms.Cosburn,
Sophie and I were wondering if the handout sheet were to be done in french or english. Some other students said that it should be doe half and half so we were wondering if that is how you want it. We are also confused by how you would do it half and half.
Sarah and Sophie
Some questions are to be in English and some in French. Histoire is to be done in French but I worry that you won't get as thorough an understanding if it is all in French so we are doing some English.
If you have 10 questions, 5 should be in French and not just short answer questions!
yes, Sarah Rose that is pretty much it. The sheet is to help you outline your project. You are to imagine yourself as the artist.
Hi Ms.Cosburn,
I am very confused about what this handout sheet and the questions sheet. Also how long does everything have to be? do you need to have both a handout sheet and questions sheet? What is in french and what is english when you mean half?
Thank you,
Sarah
I was wondering if you could tell me what I will be missing on Thursday Friday and Monday because I will be away. I planned on getting all the sheets and assignments today but because you were away, I will just do my best with catching up when I come back. Also, Sarah and I were planning on presenting our History Project today so is it okay if we present on Tuesday?
Thank you so much and I hope you feel better!
Sure. Sophie don't worry about it. Have a great time in the states. You may manage your time as you see fit.
Sarah, ask Miss P tomorrow.
Hi Ms.Cosburn
I'm confused about the "Questions" in the History Project.what kind of questions are we suppose to write? Is it questions that we ask other people or questions we want to ask about our topic? Please explain.
The questions are supposed to be about your topic. You may want to base them on info included in your sheet for the class. It is to see how well you taught them/how well they were listening to you.
If anyone else still doesn't understand, you may ask Miss P and myself tomorrow in class and submit that part of your project Friday since neither of us was at school today. But the rest of your project is still due tomorrow.
*were
Nope. This goes back to the "none of us is here etc." Neither of us is definitely singular,since it is nobody, no one, none. Nobody was there. We get used to hearing incorrect grammar so when we hear correct grammar, it sounds strangely odd. 50% of the time, newscasters actually get it right but if you listen carefully it changes from person to person.
One of us was there. We wouldn't say "One of us WERE there"
Neither is the subject of the sentence, not US.
If you have 2 answers for example, you can say neither one is right. NOT neither answer are right.
If this isn't clear enough, I am happy to explain this further tomorrow at school "?".
You know that I love grammar!
Mrs.Cosburn when is the spelling test. - Yordanos
Today or tomorrow depending on when people are missing class. 8-6 will have it Friday since some of them will be at band during English class.
8-8 has time in the computer lab and a meeting about camp so we'll see how the day goes.
