- Check out your teachers' websites! Contact them for ideas.
- The Ministry has posted material at openschool.
- Check out online units of study prepared by Ontario teachers.
- The Ministry's weekly educational kits can be found on CVR's homepage.

6 Word Memoir Gr. 8Student’s are working towards creating personal narratives for Term 3.
The 6 word memoir activity introduced student’s to the concept of telling their story, their interests, and who they are within 6 words. By looking at these 6 words, readers should be able to get a grasp of who the writer is! The words were narrowed down to hobbies/interests they have, adjectives that describe them and goals they have for the future. Teacher: Ms. E. Langevin |
Social Media in English
Developing Our Identity through Inquiry and Blogging
Ms. Beaudin's Grade 8 Language Arts group
Blogs strengthen students' writing skills in terms of memoir and visibility. This student to student public forum allows the student to read and critique each other's work and develop critical editorial skills.
In tandem with a novel study of The Outsiders, the students are developing their own blog on various issues that arise both in the novel and in their inquiry question. Blog posts include "Where I'm From" poems, personal descriptions, parental influence and personal encyclopedias.

Patchwork Poem Gr. 11 EnglishTeacher: E. Savastano
The Patchwork Poem is a found poem assignment made from lines of existing poetry. It is a part of the Era project in which students read a lot of poetry written during the time period they have chosen to explore for the unit - from Greco-Roman to Post-Modern. They are to apply the historical and art-historical research they have done thus far in order to create a cohesive theme and visual design representative of that era.
