First Run-Through

Today was a busy day and also a stressful one in our class. Students continued to work on any exhibition components that they have outstanding. They were also asked to run through their oral component with me as their audience. The groups that did this received feedback on how to improve their work. It was an eye-opener for many groups who quickly realised that they are not ready for tomorrow’s rehearsal. There will be class time for students to keep working tomorrow as others present. By the end of the day, groups were asked to present their rap or spoken word poem. Again they received feedback on how to improve. They will have class time to work on this again tomorrow.

Groups should be moving their focus to their table displays. They will need trifold boards or other materials as they have decided in their groups to complete this component. They should bring in all materials needed.

Mme. Stella and Mr. Oliver came to our class to give support to students. Ms. Joseph came in during math time. Students worked on the pre-assessment task for the next math unit.

Students are reminded exhibition work must be completed in class and not for homework.
