  9. Lessons – assignments • Lessons are posted in Moodle. Be sure to print them out one unit at a time.Unit One, Theory – there are no assignments only lessons with self checks. • Most lessons contain an assignment at the end – but a few are just “theory”. Read carefully. • You may work ahead. If you work ahead, only work one lesson ahead. Lessons are subject to change. • Assignments and exams are due at midnight on due date. Sooner is always appreciated!

  10. Assignment Folder • All ELA assignments are submitted using the Assignment folder (dropbox). • If you are having troubles attaching, delete any spaces in the title of the file. • Label all of your assignments files as directed in the lesson. It is VERY important that your surname is part of the file name.

  11. My Stuff My Locker • Use this feature if you tend to work on more than one computer, or if you share a computer.

  12. Tutorials • Tutorials are held once a week • How are tutorials marked? • 5% of your final course mark is from tutorial attendance and discussion forum participation. • If you miss a tutorial session, for ANY reason, view the archived tutorial file and submit a 3-5 sentence summary within one week of the presentation.

  13. Quizzes and Exams • Most units end with an exam, either on-line or emailed to your key parent. None of the unit exams is open book. • Parental supervision is required for all quizzes and exams. • Quizzes and exams are open for the entire 24-hour day, in an effort to accommodate working students and parents, but I can only guarantee my help on any problems that occur during regular school hours.

  14. Course Organization - thematic • Theory(poetry, short story, non-fiction, essay-writing, visuals, job skills, persuasive writing)‏ • Identity • Conflict in Societies (Shrek) • Environment (Deathwatch) • genre studied – poetry, short story, non-fiction, visuals, modern drama, feature film, novel, letter,editorial, • thematic organization aids in making connections from one piece of literature to another – a necessary skill for the final exam, but also in the “real world”

  15. Need help??? • If you need help, send a detailed email that has the word “question”or ? symbol in the subject line along with the course title (eg. ELA 10-2 ?)‏ • Be specific – on what lesson are you working and where are you stuck. • Do NOT wait until an assignment is due, and then submit it saying, “I don’t get it.” Ask for help as the problem arises. I will be happy to assist you!Online Etiquette

  17. A few more tips! :-)‏ • Report “broken” links • Check announcements, calendar, and email daily. • Keep your key parents informed. • Read lessons carefully BEFORE emailing a question. • If you miss a tutorial, review it – your question will likely have been answered during a missed session.

  18. Your turn…. Any questions? Share one interesting fact about yourself.
