I'm so happy to see the snow! I guess growing up in Grande Prairie, Alberta has stayed with me forever; my high school never closed due to weather, and our school bus only stopped running when it was below -40, so the snow just reminds me of the good ole' days. (I know that sounds like one of those grandmother stories, "Way, way back when I was a girl ...".) Check out this web cam: http://www.cityofgp.com/exploregp/webcam1.htm. Nice weather, huh?
Anyway, we missed Anastazia, Dylan, Michelle, and Carmen today - really! Plus, we had a fun, fun vocab test including a fascinating story of an alien encounter. Then, it was a quiet, calm, working class. Everyone finished writing the questions on "The Film Club", and then we discussed how to find a significant topic for the personal essay.
Next week, please bring your textbooks on Monday, and prepare to work on your essay for half the class.
Homework:
Start drafting your essay. It is due Tuesday, December 7th. We will have time to work on it in class, and peer edit some of it next week.
Vocab Unit 4 on Wednesday.
Enjoy the weekend!
