Class Minutes, Mon. Feb. 1st

Today was the first day back after the dreaded exam week. Mrs. Wall collected the work on respins and the clip files. The class discussed columns vs. editorials vs. features. Students completed a feature organizer due next class. The "hero" journal was assigned for next Tues. (Feb. 9th). Students were introduced to the Spoken Word Poetry Slam and headlining act, Shane Koyczan. Check him out on youtube. He's amazing! The poetry slam is at Performance Works, Granville Island on Feb. 18th at 7:30pm. Next class we start a mini unit on children's picture books. Get ready to get silly!
