year+8+English+term+2

Well its back to school for us all again. Boy! that term went fast and I think the holidays went even faster. Monday Tuesday Wednesday || This week you will be finishing of the information reports you started last term. By now you should have 1/ selected your topic 2/ planned out your topic - a/ first you wrote down all the questions you wanted to find out about that topic b/then you were to place the questions under catergories e.g. features/habiitats/diet etc c/this was then your planning sheet
 * Week 1

3/ researched your chosen topic and either photocopied or printed the information you found.

4/ using the information you found you were then reading it and putting it into your own words - making up your rough draft

5/ once you have created your rough draft, then use the marking guide to make sure you have included everything.

6/ then ask someone else at home or in the classroom to read your work through and give you feedback e.g. what needs to be add, spelling mistakes, etc

7/ once you have adjusted your work then create your final copy what ever way you decided to. || Thursday Friday || Well guys I am not in the classroom Thursday or Friday this week. I will be in Melbourne attending learning days on how to help you guys better in the classroom through learning about new things including technology.
 * Week 1

So you will have another teacher but I have set some work for you to go on with for Thursday.

Friday - this will again be our reading day. I will hopefully book you into the library so that books and be borrowed and or exchanged. I will expect that all students will have at least one book to read. Please bring this/these books to each class (not only Fridays) as at times there may be a few minutes to read a couple of pages. ||
