Wat we did.

Today in Ms. Lees class she told us to take out our 'There will be wolves' Chapter three and four questions. Ms. Lees then came around and checked everyone's questions. To her disappointment most of our questions were not grade eight/nine quality. Ms Lees then brought the missing critique's to attention, we then came up with possible punishments for the students who had not yet handed them in. Ms lees came to the conclusion that the students who had not yet handed in their critique's were to attend Monday's flex. We then switched to finishing presenting our group novel webs. All the while Ms Lees asked what we learned from our group novels and what it was like working in our group's.



Why we did this


We took out our 'There will be wolves" Questions so Ms. Lees could check them over and see if they were done properly (Which for most of us sadly they weren't). Ms. Lees talked about the missing critique's so we would remember to do them and hand them in. We came up with possible punishment's to pressure the student's to hand in their critique's. We presented our group webs to practice oral speaking. Ms Lees asked us what it was like to work in a group because she wanted us to learn what obstacles came with working in a group such as communication, absence etc... Ms Lees asked us we learned from the book to see if we learned anything from the book.


Connections/Reflections


Having our questions checked was useful because now we can get some constructive criticism and improve. It was also good to know what level our answer quality is at. Ms. Lees reminded us about the critiques so we could hand them in and remember for future reference to hand assignments in on time. Presenting our webs is a good way to practice oral speaking for future events. Ms. Lees asked what is was like to work in group so we could work better in a group for future projects. Ms. Lees asked us what we learned from our novels so we could practice gathering information and our reading skills.


Homework & tips


Today Ms. Lees assigned the 'Their will be wolves' Chapter five questions. For this i suggest you look back on the book if you get stuck. For the students still missing their critiques, hand them in on Monday flex.
