As we worked on this film, I got two or three students caught up on their second opinion piece writing assignment.

Friday Dec 14

I made sure everyone that was here was finished the first Opinion Piece.

Some started the second one - we chose the one about Student Stress.

Thursday Dec 13

We also did some fun stuff in class today

We moved forward today.

Not literally, of course. Today we moved into writing opinion pieces together.

It was pretty gosh darned epic.

Tuesday and Wednesday Dec 12

On Tuesday we developed this list together of topics to write about for the next few days.

The countdown is on ... we are at six days left

Let me translate that:

"Teens should be paid better"
"The internet causes people to have low self-esteem"
Sports-Leafs /Raptors
School stress
recycling at school
Life as a teen is hard
Apps cost too much
Meat is murder

Monday Dec 10

Today was the Grade Nine House meeting day - so half of our class was not in the room and were working on getting ready for exams.

Stuff like:

Study ... talk to the teachers ... get a good night's sleep ... things like that ...

stay safe and see you tomorrow!

Thurs Dec 6 .... and Friday, too

Just remember the formula for a good article we worked on in class:

Lead

Two or three sentences with the other W5H details

One quote from a person in charge

One quote from a person in the picture

Anddddd....you are done!


Edit for Friday: Yeah, the comments. W/e.
