Welcome Back... it's all downhill to summer holidays.
Period One -- ELA 20
Creative Writing students were given the period to work on their short story Trilogy. A due date is yet to be determined, but will be in the near future.
Media Studies students were asked to write three newspaper type stories given only the Five W's (Who, What, When, Where and Why). These are not due for tomorrow.
Period Three -- ELA 10
We finished reading Earle Birney's play "Court Martial" aloud. While there is no assignment on this, an exam question will involve you determining Gunner Davis' future.
Period Four & Five -- ELA 9
We worked on Grammar (Lessons 70 & 71) which are due tomorrow. We were given Period Five to work on speeches. They will start on Wednesday.
Period Six -- ELA 20
Students were given the period to put the finishing touches on their Speech (start Wednesday)
Period Seven -- Social 20
We took a look at some countries which we believe to be wealthy or poor and provided reasons (aside from simply economics) to explain. A handout which pointed out some of the major differences between developed and non - developed nations was looked at, along with a handout that discussed the disparity that exists within the distribution of wealth in nations.
Lastly we started to look at the notion of conflict. This will continue next class.
Have a good night, Mr. Morin
