Short Stories and Mapping

Today, students read through a short story by Jean Howarth called "The Novitiate". As a class, we investigated the process of reading narratives and discussed the fictional elements of the story. Students were excellent participators in the activity and they seem to have a firm grasp of the concepts. Tomorrow, students will begin a personal writing assignment in response to the story they read.

Students continued their mapping assignment today and were given Friday, September 12th as a deadline for all 3 maps. Maps should be handed in fully labelled, using the cartography regulations for printing and colouring.

See you tomorrow!
