6C Humanities

Lessons for “At Home Learning”, January 11 to 21

The lessons and other materials that are provided are to be completed as follows:

1)      An “Every-Day Edit” each day.

2)      There will be a Grammar Lesson each day. All parts must be completed by January 21.

3)      The Social Studies lessons (Indigenous People of Canada assignments) will be introduced every-other-day. Complete them all by January 21.

4)      Reading time is scheduled for each afternoon. The Story Elements exercises are to be read and completed, one each day, in this time.

 

èExpectations for students:

The lessons and exercises are to be completed to the best of your ability by the end of the next two weeks (January 21). These do count and will be part of your evaluation for the next report card. We will be continuing to new materials after this.

***Participation, whether at home, online, or in class, is compulsory. For students who are going to be online, you are expected to join me and your participating classmates on TEAMS at the scheduled time. I will be presenting a mini lesson each day, explaining the assignments, and answering questions about the assignments during that time. If you are having problems completing the assignments online (for example: you can’t edit a document and put in your answers), you can open a Word Document and record them there or use a scribbler or loose-leaf and turn these into me (take a picture and submit it or bring them into class when we return to school).

 

Assignments for each day will be posted on 6C Humanities TEAMS site.

Assignments given over the past 2 to 3 weeks are being collected this week for marking. They will be used for report cards so it is very important that they be completed and returned. 

Due Date: 

Tuesday, November 16, 2021

Hi,

I want you to be aware that we will be preparing report cards at the end of this month. I will need your work to prepare these. 

If you are working online, PLEASE SEND IN YOUR WORK as you complete it (submit through TEAMS or send me an email). Take a picture of your work and send it if you can't send a document. If you have packages at home that were prepared at the school for you, PLEASE RETURN THEM ON MONDAY OR TUESDAY when you come in to pick up the new package of assignments. I will need your LANGUAGE ARTS DUOTANG and your WRITER'S NOTEBOOK. Make sure all assignments in them are completed! Leave the DuoTang and notebook at the school and just take the new assignments. I will be in on Tuesday to collect your completed work.

Have a good weekend! Stay safe and hope to see you next week!

To record that you have attended "At Home Learning" today, please log in to TEAMS and let me know that you are 'here' today. You will need to do this each day while we are working from home.

On Thursday, you worked on putting quotation marks in sentences. Remember, "Quotation marks go around spoken words and their punctuation." The second exercise is on the flip side of the page -> Punctuating Dialogue. example
The old man muttered, "The world ain't all it's cracked up to be."
Complete the rest of the exercise.
In your Writer's Notebook, work on your snapshot moment. Complete your first draft. If you have finished this, look at the "Snapshot Writing/Personal Narrative Must-Haves!" Look at each one and examine your story. Begin revising your draft and make sure you have completed all parts. You will need to write another copy on loose-leaf. This may take more time than what would normally be covered in one class. You can continue this work on Tuesday.

Hi everyone,

This is a brief note about work assignments in your DuoTangs.

As you know, the assignments that you put in your DuoTangs yesterday are for work that I plan to cover over the next week to week-and-a-half. I wanted to be sure that you had a paper copy of these items home with you to make things a bit easier. I will be posting a message here on my Teacher Page (and in TEAMS) on Sunday IF we are going to be learning from home. I will give details then as to what you will be expected to complete and any additional information that you may need for your assignments. If we are returning to in school learning on Monday, then be sure to bring your DuoTang and Writer's Notebook back to school with you. We will pick-up where we left off on Thursday.

Enjoy your weekend and Happy Halloween,

Mrs. Coughlan

This week, I am posting the graphic organizer for the Covid-19 Time Capsule Project. Keep a copy close and add information as you see it, hear it, or otherwise experience it. Have a paper copy in your home and get your family involved. Save it on your phone and record things while on the go. It is intended that you make a brief note as it happens so you don't forget.

Currents4Kids has a new article for you to read. Don't forget to do the two sets of quiz questions and to write a response. I have reviewed your work and left some comments that you should be able to see. Read each day if you can. Writing topics are still available from the Writing Choice Boards posted previously. There are assignments for poetry on Teams for you to try. I have set this up as a way to get you familiar with the Teams site. If you are having problems with this, don't worry. We will do more with it in the fall.

Stay safe,

Mrs. C.

This week, I am going to introduce you to a project. The details are given below. As part of the project, I am going to have you begin reading some articles from "Currents4Kids". (Some of you may have already completed some of these.) The articles are:

 

Fighting A New Virus, Feb 7

 

How to Squash a Pandemic, March 20

 

Suds Up, March 27

 

Keep Your Distance, April 2

 

Leading By Example, April 10

 

Cooking For A Crowd, May 15

You are asked to do one this week and another next week. You may complete them all if you want.

The Writing Choice Board Options are available from previous posts.

Continue reading daily.

The project information will be added to my Teams assignments, so you may access it there too.

Have a good week and stay safe!

Mrs. C.

We are getting close to the end of this school year! You have only a few more weeks to try out the Teams Site. It is strongly recommended that you do this. It is something that we teachers believe will be a necessary part of our teaching in the coming school year. It is to your benefit to try to use this now and become familiar with it before it is something that you must know and use daily. It is OK to make mistakes. That leads to learning.

 

“A mistake is just a first attempt at doing something right!”

 

I am learning this now too, and I need students to participate and give feedback when I do something wrong or post something that is not clear. This helps me and helps you.

 

I have posted on Teams three small assignments: this weeks Writing Choice Board, a video to watch and respond to, and another short poetry assignment. None of these will take very long to do but will help you learn how to navigate through this site.

 

You should continue to read each day and to complete one of the Currents4Kids assignments (read the article, answer the “on the line” quiz, “between the lines” quiz, and response question).

 

SOMETHING NEW AND EXCITING COMING NEXT WEEK!

 

We are working on a fun final project that we will want everyone to do. We think it is something that everyone will want to do! Stay tuned for details next Monday.

 

Remember that when you complete assignments on Teams, they are automatically saved and available for me to see. If you are completing the assignments for Currents4Kids, the results and your responses are there for me to see. If you are writing a choice from the Writing Choice Board off the Teams site, send your work to my teacher email as a document or a picture.

 

Have a good week and stay safe!

 

Mrs. C.

I have been reading through your work on the Currents4Kids website. Many of you have not yet tried any of these and you really should. The articles are about many different topics, they are fairly easy to read, the quizzes are multiple choice, and there is a choice for the response questions (maybe three questions presented and you only have to answer one).

There are two types of quizzes - do both! ("on the line" questions, and "between the lines" questions).

Please do answer the response question! Remember to explain what you are thinking

Stay safe.

Mrs. C.
