Period One -- Social 20
Off to the library to research whether or not certain countries around the world provide enough in terms of school, religion, recreation and so on which would make someone enjoy a life there regardless of whether or not they were 'wealthy'.
Reminder: UNIT THREE EXAM TOMORROW!!!

We reviewed the concept of political discourse which is the language of politics and discussed the differences between political discourse and regular language amongst friends using education as the topic.
We then looked at the concept of political systems.

Period Five -- ELA 20
Creative Writing students worked on their "What If......" story.
Media Studies students finished their personal opinion paragraphs dealing with violence on TV, along with sex, drugs and stereotyping in music videos and the benefits or lack of that come from watching TV.
Period Six -- ELA 10
We discussed the story "Accident Up Ahead" as a class.
We then read the first two paragraphs of the shory story "Stains" aloud. After engaging the students in the plot of the story, they were distributed the rest of the story and asked to read it for tomorrow.
REMINDER: RESEARCH PAPER ON ENVIRONMENTAL DISASTERS DUE TOMORROW!!!
Period Seven -- ELA 9
I wanted to finish up Act IV of "Romeo & Juliet" but with so many kids absent we worked on writing introductory paragraphs for their speeches. The key to a good introductory paragraph is using information and talk to captivate your audience, peak their interest and engage them in wanting to listen to the remainder of the speech.
Have a good night!

About Me
- Mr.Morin
- Originally from Weyburn, SK, I was born with a passion for sports. Unfortunately a lack of talent has lead me to make a fantastic career choice, that being teaching History and English which I currently do at Norquay School in Norquay, SK. I am married to a wonderful woman, Breanna, who not only allows me to watch sports on a seemingly endless basis, but she has even started to take a general interest in most major sports. While her preference for teams leaves a little to be desired, I still think its pretty awesome that I can spend Sunday afternoons watching NFL football WITH my wife! We are also fortunate to have two fantastic children, Kylie, born in December of 2009 and Kruze, born in August of 2011.
