2 more weeks! Important info:)

Can you believe there are only 2 more weeks left of this semester? As exciting as semester 2 might be - This also means I will be saying goodbye to all of you soon:( 

We are now reading the last piece of literature in English 11 - Lord of the Flies by William Golding. This classic allegory gets better and better with each suspenseful chapter, as we realize the fine line between "civilized" people and "savages", as well as the evil dark-sided potential that we as humans posess.

Next week we will have our first vocab. quiz for Chapters 1-6, likely on Tuesday. Please go over all of your definitions for vocabulary that has been written on the board so far. ALSO remember that you get to choose 5 of your OWN vocab words (new/unfamiliar) ones to define and write on the test to portray your new gained vocabulary! 


Start thinking about symbolism as that is a major learning goal in this unit. Which characters stand for what? How would you portray them in the form of an artistic representation? (Symbol poster). More on this fun and creative project with criteria coming to you next week:)

We will finish the novel by the end of next week. The last week of classes will be devoted to the symbol poster, unit test, In class Essay and of course, watching the movie:)

Finally for those who need to make up missing assignment and tests, the last 2 days to do so are going to be WED and THURS. January 16 and 17th ONLY!  We will not have make up days the last week of classes so be prepared to come in next week for your only and last chance to make up missing work and hand in for marks!!!

FINAL EXAM for ENG.11 is on Friday JAN. 25.

Have a great weekend and see you all Monday!
