ARTICLE ASSIGNMENT

Hi everyone,

I've converted the smart board presentation on Articles to a pdf file and put it in the USEFUL LINKS section  to the right under ARTICLE ASSIGNMENT. You should all be able to see it without a problem.

Remember: the assignment is due to be handed in to me (printed or written) at the BEGINNING OF CLASS ON Wednesday for 10B and Thursday for 10A. 10 C should check with Ms. Rivierre for the specific due date for your class. You all have the same amount of time to write your articles from the time the presentation was completed in class with you.

Please also remember that if you hand your assignment in late, you will receive it back later than everyone else, as my time is very limited, and this will interfere with your ability to properly prepare for the summative writing test.

If you have any questions, feel free to post comments or to e-maill me directly. I will try to be as helpful as I can.

See you soon!
