Elements of English 10
Movie – Shrek
Novel – Deathwatch, by Robb White
Lessons – assignments
• Lessons are posted in Moodle. Be sure to print
them out one unit at a time.
Unit One, Theory – there are no assignments
only lessons with self checks.
• Most lessons contain an assignment at the end –
but a few are just “theory”. Read carefully.
• You may work ahead. If you work ahead, only
work one lesson ahead. Lessons are subject to
change.
• Assignments and exams are due at midnight on
due date. Sooner is always appreciated!
Assignment Folder
• All ELA assignments are submitted using
the Assignment folder (dropbox).
• If you are having troubles attaching, delete
any spaces in the title of the file.
• Label all of your assignments files as
directed in the lesson. It is VERY
important that your surname is part of
the file name.
My Stuff
My Locker
• Use this feature if you tend to work on
more than one computer, or if you share
a computer.
Tutorials
• Tutorials are held once a week
• How are tutorials marked?
– 5% of your final course mark is from tutorial
attendance and discussion forum participation.
– If you miss a tutorial session, for ANY reason,
view the archived tutorial file and submit a 3-5
sentence summary within one week of the
presentation.
Quizzes and Exams
• Most units end with an exam, either on-line or
emailed to your key parent. None of the unit exams
is open book.
• Parental supervision is required for all quizzes and
exams.
• Quizzes and exams are open for the entire 24-hour
day, in an effort to accommodate working students
and parents, but I can only guarantee my help on
any problems that occur during regular school hours.
Course Organization - thematic
• Theory (poetry, short story, non-fiction, essaywriting, visuals, job skills, persuasive writing)
• Identity
• Conflict in Societies (Shrek)
• Environment (Deathwatch)
• genre studied – poetry, short story, non-fiction,
visuals, modern drama, feature film, novel, letter,
editorial,
• thematic organization aids in making connections
from one piece of literature to another – a necessary
skill for the final exam, but also in the “real world”
Need help???
• If you need help, send a detailed email that has the
word “question” or ? symbol in the subject line
along with the course title (eg. ELA 10-2 ?)
• Be specific – on what lesson are you working and
where are you stuck.
• Do NOT wait until an assignment is due, and then
submit it saying, “I don’t get it.” Ask for help
as the problem arises. I will be happy to assist
you!

A few more tips! :-)
• Report “broken” links
• Check announcements, calendar, and
email daily.
• Keep your key parents informed.
• Read lessons carefully BEFORE emailing a
question.
• If you miss a tutorial, review it – your
question will likely have been answered
during a missed session.
