Creative Writing Assignments - Term 2 Click on the links to access materials and resources
Dear Students,
As you know we are now out of school for the rest of the year. Marks from terms 1 and 2 will form the basis of your final mark. No one has answered that that they want to do work to improve their marks. Therefore you are done with this course for the year and your final mark will look a lot like the summative average of terms 1 and 2.
Unfortunately, our plans for The Marrow literary magazine are on hold for now, but I appreciate all the time and effort you have put in so far to try to make that project a reality. I am hoping to revive this project next school year.
Whatever you choose to do with your time off, appreciate those you love and take care of each other. Stay safe.
Ms. Sauve
