Helpful Resources

1. Several students have shared their work throughout the course. You will see how they approached assignments and how their assignments were marked. These will be helpful when you are doing your own work. View these student's autobiographies on the "Meet Your Virtual Classmates" page.


2. The assignments in the course have been set up with tabs. With each assignment, read through each tab presented, from left to right, before beginning the work. Some assignments contain tabs called Student Help & Examples and EXTRA CHALLENGE.

 

• If you read an assignment and feel yourself stressing, look at the Student Help & Examples section for more information and some student samples that will help you.

• If you read an assignment and think, "Seems pretty easy. I’d like a bit more of a challenge", check the EXTRA CHALLENGE section for alternative assignments or sample student work that will challenge you. Choose any assignment in that list and receive additional feedback from your marker. These are not for bonus marks but there will be grades benefits in some cases. You may find the feedback helpful in developing your English Language Arts skills. Your work will be marked using the rubric for the original assignment.

• With each assignment, you will see a tab called ASSESSMENT. The information provided there will show you how your work will be assessed. Review the rubrics carefully, as they will give you guidance in preparing your assignments.
