English is integrated within the term project + other skills taught throughout the program. You are expected to learn/use English in context, not simply learn grammar and use of English in an abstract sense.

Is preparation important in this class? Why or why not? Explain.

ABSOLUTELY! Great portions of the lessons will be focused on improving the work you prepared for the lesson and asking questions based on it. None of this is possible if you have no work prepared.

True or false: a lot of peer feedback + self-evaluation is expected in this class.

The course is built on completing assignments each class and working together on evaluating our work. 

What do you need to do in order to get teacher feedback on written assignments?

1. Send an email asking for it
2. Nothing, it will be done automatically
3. We only get peer feedback
4. We must submit our work by the deadlines for teacher feedback

What is the signed portfolio statement?

The signed portfolio statement is an acknowledgement that you have read, understood and agreed to the requirements of this course and will abide by the zero tolerance policy re plagiarism. All you need to do is fill in the .5 page form with your name, class, date and your signature once you have read the study handbook, the final assessment rubric and completed this lesson. You must submit this on Teams by Monday, September 6th at 9am. We will look at the location for submission later in the lesson.

How do you plan to keep track of all the deadlines - both for this class and your others?

Tips:

• Add them to the calendar in your phone
• Write them in your paper agenda
• Set alerts for the deadlines with reminders in your phone
• Write them in a calendar you hang in your room
• Make a timeline for yourself and keep it easily accessible at all times

What are some examples of plagiarism?

Examples: 

Reusing work you have already submitted for a grade

Using somebody else's work and calling it your own

Not including the sources you used when required 

Citing a source as an in-text reference but NOT as a direct quotation (reminder: direct quotes are NOT included in your word count as they are not your original ideas, hence they should be used sparingly).

What is (formative) writing assignment 1?

1. MyGrammarLab exercises
2. Article on week 2 trip
3. Press Release proposal
4. Blog post

What is (formative) writing assignment 2?

1. Press Release proposal
2. MyGrammarLab exercises
3. Press Release final draft
4. There are only 2 formative assignments

What is the final, graded portion of the portfolio/writing assignment 3?

1. Article on week 2
2. Press release proposal
3. Press release final version
4. All of it is graded

Completion of all 3 formative assignments + the final press release are required to earn a grade though only the final press release is assessed for a numeric grade (the rest is pass/fail and the requirement in order to receive teacher feedback). Your English mark is 20% of the term 1 project grade.

As long as I complete the final press release and sign the statement I can pass, right?

NO! Your portfolio is considered incomplete and will NOT be graded if you have not completed all THREE formative assignments.

What was the teacher tip given for deadlines?

Set an alert (reminder) in your phone 48 hours before each assignment is due.

Where can you find all of this information?

In the Study handbook + rubric on Moodle! As well as the introduction video and this LessonUp. Padlet will have some notes too!
