sentences – will review, E11
is not the course for learning basic sentences, my expectation – you know how
to write already
MY NOTES ARE NOT SENTENCES. I
AM MAKING NOTES FOR YOU.
Literary Studies 11 – focused
on short story, poetry, novel
Composition 11 – writing skills
In my class, I put them
together. I will be doing both.
Literacy / Literature – not the
same thing
literacy – ability to communicate in a language,
“ability to read and write” (OED- Oxford English Dictionary)
literature – fiction writing, novels, short
stories, “written works,
especially those considered of superior or lasting artistic merit” (OED)
-my class- I
will teach both- writing, literature
If this is to
your liking, let’s go!
I guarantee you
will learn a lot about writing and literature in English.
Quizzes every
few days, short, 15-20m, sentence writing, grammar point (Worth 3pts each)
-approximately eight
quizzes 24pts
Tests every 4-5
days, longer, 35-45m, paragraph (150w) about a topic we have been working on in
class (Worth 7pts each)
- approx. six
tests 42pts
Essays, approx.
3-5 essays, 1 ½ hr, essay (300-350w) about a topic we have been working on in
class (Worth 10pts each)
- 4 essays 40pts
The writing
should be at least 150 words for a paragraph and at least 300 words for an
essay. Longer is not necessarily better. You don’t have to write a book. Better
to have a piece of writing that is shorter and high quality than longer and poor
quality.
Presentations –
How can we do that on Zoom?
Marks
Quizzes – approx. 25pts
Tests - approx. 42 pts
Essays- approx. 40pts
approx 100
fraction – e.g. 85/110 - 77.3%, 68/130 – 52%
Pass mark for
BC is 50%.
My opinion:
less than 65%- don’t try the next level
Each class is
different, more quizzes, fewer tests, vice versa
I sent the
course outline to you. If you didn’t get it, let me know.
Plagiarism –
copying from the internet or a book and passing it in
copied from the
internet
The book tells the story of a group of farm animals who rebel
against their human farmer, hoping to create a society where the animals can be equal,
free, and happy. Ultimately, however, the rebellion is betrayed, and the farm ends up in a
state as bad as it was before, under the dictatorship of a pig named Napoleon.
Bad news: I
will give you a 0%. I will write a letter to go in your school file. If it
happens again, I will ask you to leave my class.
Good news: I
will teach you how to borrow text from other sources using “ “ and citations.
I don’t want
you to get into trouble. I will show how to avoid trouble.
Email protocols:
1.
Subject
line: Full name, Class, Time, Topic
e.g. Sarah Wong, Eng 11,
8:30, Quiz 1
Not good email for work or
school:
catlovergirl@hotmail.com
Free advice #2: Get an email
that sounds professional
Gmail has free email
“I am using my aunt’s email address.”
Please, can you get your own.
2.
Attach the quiz,
test, essay.
MSWord docs
are best. I edit and mark using MSWord.
A txt
attachment should be fine.
If you don’t
know what that means, we can sort it out together in the next day or so.
HOMEWORK:
Please send me a short bio of
yourself (approx. 150w)
Bio – e.g. name, home,
family, job, hobbies, future plans
Remember to include a Subject
line.
Please attach the bio to your
email.
Please email that to me by
10:30.
This is not for marks. This
is for you to try the email protocols.
