How to stay engaged while isolating:
  • 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.

Remember: These are just options in case you're looking for something to do. You do not have any assigned work and teachers are not grading anything. This is only for your personal enrichment.
  • Read books on Audible or for free using the Sora app. You need your library card number for that one. Download the Sora app, search for New Frontiers School Board as your school and sign in with the ID number on your library card. Ask your teachers for recommendations.
  • Check out this calendar of every day educational live streams at the everywhere school.
  • Interested in marketing or advertising? Check out Media Smarts and Break the Fake, and see if you can separate the truth from fake news.
  • Have a look at some of these resources provided by the NFSB.

​To read the full article on the contest winners, visit the CPF website.  

6 Word Memoir Gr. 8

Student’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.


How to Have a Good Conversation 
        TEDx Talks with Celeste Headlee

To deepen and develop the student's discussion skills and overall performance, Miss Hardy's Grade 8 English classes sought insight from Celeste Headlee's TED talk "10 Ways to Have a Better Conversation ".

​Great for anyone interested in improving communication in their lives.

Patchwork Poem Gr. 11 English

Teacher: 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.
