  1. Welcome to Mrs. Noble’s Classroom English 11 SEATS.... Tomorrow I will write down where you are sitting. Please sit in that seat everyday. This will help me to learn your names faster. Thank You!

  2. About Me… Mrs. Noble • Originally from Belleville, Ontario • Attended McGill University; Bachelor of Science in English Literature & Psychology • Completed a Bachelor of Education at the University of Toronto • Lived in Korea where I taught ESL • This is my 9th year with the Halifax Regional School Board; last year I was at Sackville High, the year before I was at C.P.A. • I have two children: Maia (6 very soon) and Milo (just turned 4)

  3. Our Classroom • Be respectful of the space. • Cell phones and electronics • Should not interrupt your learning or anyone else’s • Quickly, discreetly, educational • Success in your courses requires ACTIVE listening and participation. • Be in class on time and prepared • You are responsible for anything you miss when you are out of the room

  4. Reading Expectations • We will be reading texts, sometimes as a class but often you will be asked to read independently. • It is imperative that you are prepared to commit to reading the texts assigned in the class. • You may not love every text; there may be texts you don’t like. However, you are still required to complete the reading tasks. • You should come to class every day prepared to read independently.

  5. Writing Expectations • There will be a heavy focus on writing, in this course. (40% of grade) • All writing you do “counts” and should be a sample of your best work. Please be attentive to structure, word choice, and matters of correctness.

  6. Mark Breakdown and Exam Matters • A student’s final mark= 75% Course Work + 25% Summative Exam Speaking & Listening = 25% Reading & Viewing = 35% Writing & Representing = 40% • ENG11 Academic is designed to prepare you for ENG12 Academic, so it is not eligible for exemptions.

  7. Outcomes based assessment… • You have access to your grades – USE POWERSCHOOL!! • Your mark is divided into 3 categories: • Reading and Viewing • Speaking and Listening • Writing and Representing • I will not be putting marks in Power School until we have some marks for each category.

  8. Due Dates & Rewrites • Assignments need to be turned in on time. • After the final due date for any given assignment has passed, you will receive a zero in Power School. • You are responsible for negotiating an extension before the due date if you need it. • Rewrite Policy– because sometimes you may need to try again • You may improve and resubmit any assignment to be re-graded (with a few exceptions) providing the assignment was handed in within 2 days of the initial due date.

  9. You are Responsible for What is Covered in Class... If you are absent, out of the room, or out of focus... • Check the daily plan on my website: http://hrsbstaff.ednet.ns.ca/mnoble • Ask a classmate • Ask me

  10. Extra Help/ One-on-One Instructions/ Feedback/ Motivation... You may come see me whenever you need to: • Before School • After School • At Lunch (Monday, Thursday, Friday) • C-Block • The good news is I will rarely keep you very long!

  11. My Website • Daily Agenda • Links to assignments, resources, etc... • Searchable • Please ask me if you need something that isn’t there http://hrsbstaff.ednet.ns.ca/mnoble

  12. NOTE-TAKING The following slide contains detailed instructions about your first writing assignment. Do not copy them! • Practice taking notes quickly and efficiently • Hand in your notes on these instructions with your assignment YOUR GOAL: Include the main points in the form of point form notes without all the extra stuff.

  13. Write a letter of introduction, telling me about yourself and how you feel about reading and/or writing. Please include your view on the following points: • Feelings about writing & feelings about reading • Anything that’s difficult for you about writing and/or reading • Things about writing (and reading) that you did last year – or the year before – that were successful or that you liked • Things about writing (and reading) that you did last year – or the year before – that you didn’t like or weren’t successful • Goals you have for yourself in English this year • What you expect of me as your English teacher • Important information about you/Anything else you want to share. • Also include what text(s) you read recently • I am the primary audience for this letter.
