Hello! Hope the new term is off to a good start for everybody. This is what is happening in my classes at the moment:
ENG 406-01: We are still working on the LES on water. If you have missed any classes, see me about getting caught up. Remember that the Commonwealth Essay is due on February 25. There is a 600 word maximum. You will get a list of topics this week. (If you are writing yours to enter in the official competition, the due date is February 22 and the word limit is 1000.)
GEO 206-01: We are continuing to work on forests. There will be two Complex Task activities for February, and you will hear about them in class today. The workbook complex task (pages 50-55) is due on February 15 and the essay is due on February 25. Both are related to Forestry (see Unit 3 in the textbook.) There should be lots of time for you to work on these in class, but make good use of your time!
POP 304-03: We are continuing to do self-assessment quizzes and reflections on our interests and skills, and how they relate to potential careers we might pursue. You will get a copy of the Complex Task in the next couple of days. You can also expect some guest speakers soon...
ENT 402-01: We are in the midst of finalizing a business project to undertake at Pontiac or at PHS specifically. By next week, you must have decided on a plan, and have assigned specific duties to group members. Remember, you should focus on a project that benefits the school, the community, or a particular charity.
LAW 802-12: Test on February 10. You need to be familiar with Torts, Contracts, and the most recent newspaper article we have read. (The article is related to contracts in sports.) If you have questions or problems, see me.
ETH 140-01: We are continuing the Media and Sexuality LES. Expect a mix of group and individual work, and think about what you will write in your letters to the company responsible for the ad you chose.
Have a great week and weekend. Take care.
Mr. Foster
