ENGLISH 10 – 2.4

HOMEWORK: Due Wed

  1. Stamp Project
    1. you should be researching on your own (library.vsb.bc.ca)
    2. Remember to follow the instructions. You are NOT listing out all the facts about your person. You must learn about them and then decide what make them special or worthy enough to go on a Canadian stamp. You will share these 3 qualities/traits and then use their life as evidence or examples of the trait. (Just like a character analysis: EX. The character is kind. She often went without food, so she could give what she had to others. etc.)

Then make a list of things you Wonder about? What questions do you have? What do you want to learn? The questions and Wonders are very important.
