Period 1 & 2 (All grade 12s)
Mr. Sandbeck requested these two periods so he could talk to the grade 12s to give them some guidance information. He went through some aptitude tests and some other information and activities to help students make decisions about their future career paths. He's not quite finished, so he will complete the rest sometime next week.
Period 3--Pre-AP 10
It wasn't a very exciting class, but instructive. We are done Act IV of Macbeth but need to start donig some writing in timed situations (these replace standard tests that the students might be more used to). I gave them all an AP Resource Booklet that I made up. It has a number of handouts that should help them with their writing. We went over how to create a thesis statement and to connect arguements to that thesis statment. There is an exemplar in the Booklet that we will continue going over tomorrow and then the kids will get a chance to do their own timed write.
Period 4--History 10
Miss Campbell wants to remind everyone that the role playing assignment is due tomorrow. They did some notes on scarcity as well as a reading on traditional and command markets. There was a reading guide to go with the reading to help keep the kids on track and then a coupld of multiple choice questions to see if they were paying attention.
Period 5--History 30
We finsihed going over some of the ideas that the kids had from yesterday as to what they thought they knew about the point of contact between First Nations and the Europeans. We examined what were facts about what they thought they knew and what were misconceptions. This led into some very interesting conversations about Native/European relations at the point of contact and how they have expanded to today. Treaties were discussed at some length and the students are going to work at keeping an open mind in class. We had a handout introducing the unit and then a handout examining the positive and negative effects for both the European and First Nations.
