BORC
This is just a friendly reminder that this Monday, June 2nd, we'll be heading to BORC for the day.
Please remember to bring a litter-free lunch (lunch will not be provided by BORC) and dress appropriately for the weather, e.g., sunscreen, hats, shorts...etc.
The long range forecast is predicting a high of 26 degrees but also possible thundershowers. We'll be going either way however, rain or shine, so keep an eye on the weather. You may need to bring a rain coat or rain boots. And remember -- follow an appropriate dress code!
The official BORC handout says:

VoiceThread Feedback
Keep an eye out on VT for your feedback on the media analyses that we've been working on. I should have them wrapped up by Monday. Over the weekend continue to research the social and health effects of alcohol and tobacco with your partner.
Other than that, enjoy the weekend!

Missed Notes
This is a message to all 7s and 8s:
If, for any reason, you've missed any notes or lessons, I've really done my best to make sure that you can access them at any time by posting all my slides and handouts to DB (mrc7a@mgps.ca).
Please take this opportunity to revisit the site (if you haven't) and download anything you may have missed.

Monologues
Here are some tips, 7A:
Be less than two minutes. Two minutes is more than enough to show your stuff. In fact, the auditors have already made their decision after 30 seconds, maybe even less.
Have a clear objective. You can't just stand there and talk. You have to be actively talking to someone you've imagined, and you must be trying to get something from them.
Try to have a distinct beginning, middle, and end. A beginning: A strong first sentence to capture attention. A middle: Lots of juicy content. An end: A strong finish. When your monologue has structure, the auditors are more likely to remember you.
Contain conflict. Drama cannot exist without conflict. Who wants to see a play about everyone getting along?
