We returned ISU novels today
We had ISU presentations
You lose 5% per day that your entire ISU package has not been viewed and checked off by Ms. Burke
You lose marks if you're absent when your supposed to be learning from other's ISU presentations....
Easy solution = be in class with your work done. You were given more than enough in class time for your ISU.
By now you should have read all of or almost all of, "The Most Dangerous Game".
You need to scroll down to pg 35 and look at the plot diagram example.
Next, you need to draw your own plot diagram and complete one for, "The Most Dangerous Game"
-Great presentations today!

ISU novels
Process notes
Thursday December 12th:
Is a digital short story that is close to my heart. Bear 71 is a Mother Grizzly Bear trying to survive in the recently highly developed Bow Valley. The story takes a close look at human encroachment upon wildlife habitat. It also critiques the cost of relying on technology even in the natural world.
I'm not sure about you but I feel instantly connected to Momma Bear 71 when I view the digital short story and I'm heartbroken when after all she goes through she is struck down by a train.
After living and working in the Bow Valley for a period of 10 years, I had many wildlife encounters and my reactions and what I learned from these experiences may surprise you.
