ARW Information: About Summer Reading assignment

Dear BE & BJ,

Hello. How are you?

As a couple of students have now asked me about Summer Reading, I think I should let everyone know that your Summer Reading Assignment is decided by your new teacher. He/she will visit next week or give the handout to me to pass on to you. In either case, you will know in time and you should not worry.

Have a nice day,

Owen.

ARW Information: More time for Second Draft of Essay

Dear BE & BJ,

Hello, how are you?

Please note these changes to the current homework:

1. Essay: Second Draft WAS due 5/18 M, NOW due 5/20 W.

2. Argumentation: 'Close Reading' & Note-taking Aaron 11a WAS due 5/20 W, NOW 5/18 M.

In other words, a little more time for writing, a little less for reading. A bit easier for you too, I think.

Other news:

3. Owen will be in hospital from Monday afternoon, probably until Sunday. I will let you know the arrangements for next week on Monday.

4. Please note different class times due to C-Week: P1 8.50-9.50* P2 10.00-11.00* P3 11.10-12.10* Lunch 12.10-14.30* P4 14.30-15.30* P5 15.40-16.40* P6 16.50-17.50*
.

All the best,

Owen.
