With the e-assessment quickly approaching, our grade 10 students are showing confidence and readiness. Last week, the interdisciplinary unit pre-release material was released. The IDU for this e-assessment will be combining the sciences and English language and literature with a focus on the global issue of scientific and technical innovation.
For the English side of this, students will need to be familiar with different forms of writing and how each format serves different purposes. We have discussed the material and examined how some texts aim to inform, while others persuade. We took a critical look at how, even within these various formats, the use of language and technique can influence the reader to see different perspectives and/or consider the negative consequences of technological growth.
Students have access to all of these materials in Google Classroom. We will examine them again after they return from their trip next week. As a final note, well done to all of them for their excellent personal projects. Take care!
