 Dear Grade 6s,

We will continue focusing on writing the various drafts of the essay today and for the remainder of this week. Please refer to the schedule below to know where to be and what document to be working on at various times of the day.

We are going to attempt our second Zoom meeting today. I am hoping that we will be able to do this quicker today and have the entire class join us. It was wonderful to see the faces of the students who managed to log on yesterday.

You will begin today’s class with Ms. Jaskolka on the Grade 6 Discord and Zoom Server. Be ready for class to start at 9 a.m. It is best to login at least 5 minutes earlier to deal with technical difficulties. If I am not there, I may be experiencing Wi-Fi issues. Please be patient. We will follow our daily schedule as closely as possible. 

During the exhibition process, specialist teachers (Mr. Orr, Mr. Oliver, Mme. Stella) with help facilitate learning for each of the exhibition groups during their scheduled class times.

Revising the Essay by the end of the day. Each group will read the entire essay draft from beginning to end. As you go, insert comments suggesting what information could be added/removed to improve the content, ideas, and supporting evidence of each paragraph. Other suggestions you make might be regarding information that does not flow well. Suggest ways that this could be achieved. Go back and read through all your group’s research notes. Yup, I am being serious. Is there evidence in the research notes that could be added to the essay to improve its content? If yes, insert comments telling your peers/yourself what specific information could be added. Do not change the work/paragraphs done by your peers – it is their responsibility to improve the content of their writing. Remember, each person will be graded on their contribution to the essay (use your designated font colour). Leave the comments on the first draft, i.e. do not click on “Resolve”. I would like to see what suggestions have been made and check to see if you respond to the suggestions you receive. Ask other people for feedback on how to improve the essay, such as your parents, your teacher, and your mentor. They may make suggestions by inserting comments – please provide me with their Gmail and I will give them access to the Google Doc. Once you and your group have received as much feedback as possible, it is time to begin rewriting the essay under Section 12 in the Google Doc – yes you can copy and paste it to get you started. This revised version should be a much-improved version. We are not correcting conventions (grammar, spelling, punctuation, capitalization, vocabulary use at this stage), but are focusing on the ideas in the essay.
