Congratulations everybody on your first day. It felt like a whirlwind, but I know that we have planted many seeds that will flourish as the year unfolds. A few topics that you might want to discuss with your parents when they ask how the first day of school went:- Code of Conduct: What are my rules and why?
- Can you now make T.O.A.S.T.?
- Why do you need to go and tidy your room?
- Who is your biggest enemy and how can you defeat that person?
- The Socratic Method - Why won't Mr. Buxton answer all your questions?
- How can you make your writing truly unique and specific?
- Read the WILF on the poem sheet I gave out in class today. Remember you only need a draft of your ideas by tomorrow. If you are unsure on this assignment, bring questions in for me to answer tomorrow.
- Don't forget a sock for Math
- Begin tidying your room!
See this example below of a poem from one of my superb students from last year:
