Class Field Trip and Author Visit Coming Up!

Tuesday June 11th is coming up. We are getting out in the sunshine, with your friends, and heading to the Central City Library to meet and mingle with Canadian author Kelley Armstrong!

She has a reading prepared, discussion and sharing, and we get to wander the fabulous new facilities so you can pick-up some new reads for yourself.

What you need to do:
1.) Get your permission form signed and turned in ASAP
2.) Notify your period 3/4 teachers and get your school form signed, and return to Ms. Bertrand
3.) Find your go-card and gather $3.50-$5.00 for transportation
4.) Percolate your questions and any new reads you want to explore at the library and check-out

It's going to be a great day gang!

What Writing Is

As you are bleeding, sweating, and wrestling with your mind for the right words, just remember that many have fought this hard-won battle and emerged triumphant. Here is what they had to say about the writing process (and book-love). Who do you think is the most correct? Who said it best?

Remember Your Love of Books

English can be a challenging course and the readings can be complex, but once upon a time there was love in your heart for a good story. So although it may seem far far away, think back to when you were a kid, or perhaps even this summer. What did you enjoy reading? What books have earned your love?

For me it's been too many to name, but Maurice Sendak's Where the Wild Things Are will always be one of my favourites.

What books have you enjoyed? What are your favourites?
