Our Grade 12s have reason to celebrate this weekend: they have officially completed their first formal assessment for English A, the Individual Oral Commentary!
We held the IOCs on Monday morning in the 6th grade space (Thanks Mrs. Larsen and 6th grade!), where students were able to show off their analytical skills. After 20 minutes preparing an extract from 1984, Othello, or Carol Ann Duffy’s poetry they delivered a nonstop 10-minute commentary, followed by 5 minutes of subsequent questioning. The feeling of relief at the end of the 15 minutes was palpable!
Well done to all seven of our students! Their hard work has paid off with a successful first assessment!
