Wednesday, September 14th -- Day Five

Period Two: History 10
We looked at the difference between 'freedom' and 'order' in terms of both their definition and their involvment in day to day activities. We looked at a series of day to day realities, and discussed whether freedom or order should prevail.
We then started to look at decision making, and outlined the worldviews of two different societies in terms of their approach to decision making. Students are to consider these opposing views, and for tomorrow write a paragraph as to what society they would like to live in and why.

Period Three: Creative Writing 20
Dialogue assignments were collected. Students had this period to work on their point of view assignment which was given yesterday. The assignment is due tomorrow.

Period Four: History 20
We started by reviewing the dangers of a two - front war, and Germany's approach to avoiding such a battle. We then saw how things started to change once Otto von Bismarck was fired and William II started making the decisions. This led to a discussion of the Dual Entente which came about as a result of William II's actions. Students were then asked to concoct a plan that they would utilize to help Germany avoid having to fight a two - front war. They not only need to outline their plan, but also include an explanation as to why their plan will work. This is due tomorrow.

Period Five: ELA 9
We corrected the Language Power from yesterday (Lessons #4 and 5). We then had a review of the material that they will need to know for tomorrow's Writing Quiz. With the time left in class, students were allowed to study and prepare for the quiz.

Period Six: ELA B10
Having read Chapter`s One and Two of `The Cage` students were given an assignment on the material they have read. It is due tomorrow.

After a review of yesterday`s material, we briefly discussed some of the factors while led Europeans to begin to stay permanently in North America. We then began watching Episode #2 of Canada: A People's History which talks about the first settlers and colonies in Canada and why they arrived here in the first place and the establishment of the Fur Trade.
