Dear Grade 6s,
The exhibition work you do this week will focus on writing
many drafts of the essay. It can be tedious work. Keep going even when you don’t
feel like it. Monday is the last day dedicated to doing research. That does not
mean that the research component is done. You will be expected to keep asking
questions and learning about your issue in depth as you go.
You will begin today’s class with Mrs. Haag on the Grade 6 Discord
Server. Be ready for class to start at 9 a.m. It is best to login at least 5
minutes earlier to deal with technical difficulties. If I am not there, I may
be experiencing Wi-Fi issues. Please be patient. We will follow our daily
schedule as closely as possible.
During the exhibition process, specialist teachers (Mr. Orr,
Mr. Oliver, Mme. Stella) with help facilitate learning for each of the
exhibition groups during their scheduled class times.
