May 10

This past week in humanities, students learned about the formatting and planning process of writing a formal business letter. They wrote a mock PAT letter, before writing their official PAT on Thursday May 9th, which consisted of 2 parts: Essay or Narrative and Letter Writing. Students will receive a course grade from either their official PAT or their in-class practice writing (the higher mark of the two will be recorded). Next week, students will begin their poetry unit, leading up to a poetry slam on Friday May 31st. They will also begin a new Social Studies unit on Consumerism.
