PARENT-TEACHER CONFERENCES

By Harkiran Kaur Aulakh

🙂 IF YOUR PARENTS ARE COMING TO PARENT-TEACHER NIGHT, COME WITH THEM! IF YOU ARE GETTING PRAISED, IT’S GREAT TO BE SITTING THERE HEARING IT. IF YOU’RE NOT GETTING PRAISED, IT’S GOOD TO BE THERE TO EXPLAIN YOURSELF AND HEAR WHAT YOU HAVE TO DO TO IMPROVE. AND I’LL HAVE SOME CANDY! 🙂

ENGLISH 9 – 1.3

By Harkiran Kaur Aulakh

HOMEWORK: Due Thurs

  1. LP #23-24
  2. Fake News – BBC Real or Fake Worksheet: Double spaced!! Write a short news type story (15-20 good, varied sentences). Your story should be fiction, but you MUST include 3 actual facts. This story should not be mean or negative towards another student or person in general. The idea is to see how easy it is to make up a fake news story and how hard it is to tell the facts from the fiction. Example headlines: Senior Boys’ Bball team loses by 1 point because the team was blackmailed. OR J.O. History 1995: Students lighting fireworks, burn down east wing of school OR Frustrated teacher pushes student out of first floor window!
