Unit Calendar for GR11/12 is uploaded to the file folder

Hello Dear Gr 11/12 Class,
I have uploaded the unit calendar for February. Please check it out.
The chapters are refer to a different textbook so don't worry too much.

Thank you
Ms. Yu

WELCOME EVERYONE!!

Hello My Dear Class,
It is a pleasure to meet all you today. As I mentioned in class, there will be updated posts for each class so you will always have the updated information regarding our course.

Gr.11

Finding a job: Where will you find these information? What will you look for in the Ads? How do you determine which job is best for you?

Gr.12

Renting an apartment? What features would you look for in a apartment? What are the hiding costs for renting? What does utility/hydro/cable mean in the Ads?

Changes to Gr 11/12 class:

Change 1: I would like to reform our class a bit. In order to facilitate our class better, I will provide handouts with practice questions for the whole class (mainly Gr 11 materials). I will supplement with extra handout for certain Gr 12 topics but mostly we will follow the Gr 11 content.

Change 2: The daily lesson plan will be posted on the website to reduce paper waste.

Change 3: The exam will weigh for 30% of your mark and your tasks and tests will each reduce 5%.
(Thinking Q.. how much will you tests and tasks weigh now?)

We will go through some of these changes tomorrow in class.

Gr. 9

We try to work out some money questions today. If you have any questions or need extra help, please let me know and I can arrange a meeting with you. Like I promise, I will also prepare some extra materials for the ones who needs a little bit more challenging questions tomorrow.

Exam will now weight 30% of your mark and your tasks and tests will each reduce by 5%. I will update the course outline materials on the website too.


Have a wonderful evening

Ms. Yu
