Period 1--ELA B 30
The students had their last class to work on their "Identity" assignment. I am really pleased at the effort they are putting into this assignment. We will set a due date for it tomorrow when I see where everyone is at.
Period 2--ELA B 30/AP 30 split
ELA B 30--Same as above--working on their "Identity" assignment. A reminder that Trevor Tomachek is on the Blues News next week.
AP 30--They had this class to work on their Frnakenstein essay and will have time for this for the rest of the week. A reminder for all those that didn't have their persuasive essays finished--I'd like them in by Thursday.
Period 3--Pre-AP 10
It was a bit of a dry class as we finished going over how to write a formal essay--Mrs. Tulp style! They will work on their Macbeth essay tomorrow.
Period 4--history 10
Miss Campbell had them correct their mutliple choice from yesterday. Then they thought about how they would feel if the Canadian government all of a sudden decided to charge one cent for every text sent. Of course they would be furious--this equates to what the American colonists felt when they were being taxed for a number of things that were necessary for them. This idea was further established through a simulation with Skittles where they had 10 Skittles to start with but kept being "taxed" and had to give up Skittles for various little things. The students had to take down some notes on taxation and then spent the rest of the period working on a journal entry.
Period 5--History 30
We finished the handout we started last Friday. The students were also told that their fur trade webquest is due on Thursday. After this, we finsihed the RAN chart we started at the start of this unit on the Point of Contact between First Nations and Europeans where we looked at what we learned and asked questions about things that still confused us or new questions it raised.
