A Letter To Santa Assignment

santa-reading.gif


Santa is a figure of hope and good will that fulfills wishes to people around the world. You are to write a letter to Santa to fulfill a wish.

Your letter should include:
1. An introduction: greeting, connection, small talk.
2. Your wish (tangible or intangible, as we discussed in class).
3. Justification for your wish (supports).
4. Closing/Conclusion

*make sure you use proper letter format
* Be creative and have fun.
The following is an example.

Dear Santa,

I hope I’m not writing too late this year. I know that you are very busy. But I wanted to get my letter to you so you’d know I hadn’t forgotten. It’s been a long time since I’ve written to you, but I still think of you this time of year and enjoy seeing your helpers around town. This year, I get to be one, too, but just for a little while. Your red suit fits a little too well and I need to do something about that.

I’ve been very good this year. I work hard and I think I’m doing good work, too. I think I’ve been better this year than I have in a long time.

You know what I’d really like this year for Christmas? Yes, I need socks and a new sweater, but I’d really love a new remote for the theater. I’m the only one who can operate it now that I can’t program the old one anymore, and I have to sit there with a lap full of remotes. I’d really like one that I could program to do everything and make it easy for the girls or Diane to use, too. But anything you can think of will be fine.

Have a safe trip, Santa. I’ll leave a plate of cookies out for you again this year.

Love,

Randy

There’s still time to get your letter in the mail.

Learning Goal: To write an effective biography.

Success Criteria:

1.Choose an interesting topic, make sure it is a story about someone's life (i.e., Michael Jordan) written by someone else (you).

2. Make sure it is written in the third person.

3. Follow a time line stating the past and present and future.

4. Include all factual information.

5. Have pictures with captions, explaining the pictures.

6. Make sure your grammar, conventions and spelling is correct.


Student Emails

Hello Parents, In my class we use many web based programs for multimedia projects (Prezi, Slide Rocket, etc) . These programs are free but require students to create an account with a valid email address. If your students do not have an email, please consider signing them up for a free account (Hotmail, Gmail, Yahoo). Another alternative is letting them use your personal email to create the accounts and log in. If you have any questions or concerns please contact me at the school.

Thank you,
Mr. M

Welcome to Grade 7

Welcome to another exciting year at Talbot Trail. At Talbot Trail we pride ourselves on hard work and dedication and through our many great accomplishments. If you look around our gym you will witness a sea of banners. They represent district champions, tournament champions, city champions but most of all they represent the hard work that our students have put in to achieve those great accomplishments.

Whether you are an athlete, a scholar, a chess champion, a dancer, an artist or even a great friend you have worked hard to achieve those labels. Today you are going to showcase who you are on a banner of your own.

At the top of your banner you will place your name. The rest of the banner is up to you. Decorate it with words, quotes, illustrations or whatever your mind can come up with to describe who you are. Be artistic and creative and make your banner stand out amongst the crowd.

Take your time this is not a race (even if you are a track star!)

The Real Story of Valentine's Day


The Story of St. Valentine
In 270 A.D., marriage had been outlawed by the emperor of Rome, Claudius II. Claudius issued this decree because he thought that married men made bad soldiers since they were reluctant to be torn away from their families in the case of war. Claudius had also outlawed Christianity in this time period because he wished to be praised as the one supreme god, the Emperor of Rome. Valentine was the bishop of Interamna during this period of oppression. Valentine thought that the decrees of Rome were wrong. He believed that people should be free to love God and to marry. Valentine invited the young couples of the area to come to him. When they came, Valentine secretly performed services of matrimony and united the couples.

Valentine was eventually caught and was brought before the emperor. The emperor saw that Valentine had conviction and drive that was unsurpassed among his men. Claudius tried and tried to persuade Valentine to leave Christianity, serve the Roman empire and the Roman gods. In exchange, Claudius would pardon him and make him one of his allies. St. Valentine held to his faith and did not renounce Christ. Because of this, the emperor sentenced him to a three-part execution. First, Valentine would be beaten, then stoned, and then finally, decapitated. Valentine died on February 14th, 270 A.D.

While in prison, waiting for his sentence to be carried out, Valentine fell in love with the jailer's daughter, the blind Asterius. During the course of Valentine's prison stay, a miracle occurred and Asterius regained her sight. Valentine sent her a final farewell note. He signed his last note, "From Your Valentine." Even today, this message remains as the motto for our Valentine's Day celebrations.
What is the main idea of the Valentines Day story?

Above is a great link for advice on:

  • 1. Choosing Speech Topics.
    2. writing a Speech.
    3. Delivering a Speech.

    Speeches will be presented at the end of January and are to be done for the most part at home. You will be given the opportunity to do a traditional speech where you will be eligible for the school speech contest or a Smart Notebook, Prezi or Slide Rocket Presentation (these you cannot present in front of the school).
