Welcome to my new students for semester two!

I’m really looking forward to some good stuff happening in semester two. Although each of the three classes are big, there is a whole lot of potential for good things to happen. Pretty pumped at the number of students whom I’ve never taught before – it will be great to get to know you all.

It has been nothing short of awesome meeting and learning with you, semester one students. I want to wish you all the best of luck on your exams and the best of luck in semester two.

Here is the exam schedule. Note the exam today for ENG3U and the exam on Wednesday, January 29 for ENG2D. Those in BTA3O do not have an exam.

Remember to return your textbooks, too!

If you are missing work, (especially BTA3O students!) please come and see me. You can work during exam days to catch up on some assignments!!

Final marks for courses and exams will be available during the first week of semester two. Marks for final assignments/culminating tasks will be available during exam week. Come visit!

Classes are in their final full week, which is insane. Students are busy wrapping up assignments and getting ready for exams/culminating activities. Here’s what is going on this week:

ENG 3U students start the week with a “Macbeth” unit test/review assignment. Students will also be introduced to an abridged version of “Beowulf” this week. The rest of the course time is devoted to completing and presenting the Independent Study Unit.

BTA 3O students are working feverishly on their course culminating assignment. Some groups are nearing completion while others will need the full week to get things going. There have been some great ideas introduced by some groups.

ENG 2D students will talk poetry this week now that “Romeo and Juliet” is in the past. Students will be introduced to some technical parts of poetry, various poetic forms, and then be tasked with some writing of their own. This will lead into next week’s final writing assignment.

Best of luck to all students as they finish work for Semester 1!
