Year+11+Transition+2011-2012

=Year 11 Transition=

Welcome 2012 Year 11s.

‍This page has all the resources and information you need to hit the ground running after the Christmas Break and really set yourself up for success in English. Watch/view/read all the material, take notes as you do, and complete any activities mentioned.

There are two reasons why you will benefit from reviewing everything here:


 * 1) You missed all or part of transition, and need to catch up. **And you __do__ need to catch up. Present in transition or not, you'll be expected to have completed all the Holiday Homework by Day 1, 2012.**
 * 2) You were in transition, but want to review some of the material we went through.

I'm pretty sure the resources below will help ensure you're all on track and on the ball from Day 1 next year.

Complete this Learning Style Inventory to help me develop a "class profile" of the dominant learning styles for our class. Follow the steps below.

> >
 * 1) Visit the "What's Your Learning Style?" page and complete thr online questionnaire. Complete the questionnaire as honestly as possible.
 * 2) Click "submit" when you're finished to receive your result. You'll be told what learning style is most likely your dominant style, but above this you'll be told how many A, B and C answers you got. For example:
 * 1) Note down your score for the A, B and C answers and bring it up to me to enter into the spreadsheet. This way I'll get an overall class profile of your learning styles.
 * 2) Consider the questions below and write a reflection (one paragraph) in response that covers your thoughts on all five questions. This reflection should be written in your folder:

‍About Me
I am teaching many of you for the first time. Even if we already know each other, it's helpful for me to know a little about your goals for next year and beyond. Complete the online "About Me" questionnaire. Put as much thought and detail into your responses as you can.
