Tuesday, May 5th -- Day One

Period One -- Social 20
Corrected the newspaper activity from yesterday. After looking over assumptions about Aboriginal worldviews, we sought to compare the differences between Aboriginal and modern day societies in terms of both labour and wealth. This assignment should be done for tomorrow.

Period Two -- Social 30
We discussed the questions students were to answer in regards to the Quebec and Charlottetown Conferences. We then discussed some of the problems experienced by both women and First Nations peoples in the years following Confederation

Period 3 & 4 -- Public Speaking
Congratulations to everyone who gave their speeches today. A big thank you to Cst. Paul Jones of the RCMP and Melissa Johnson for taking time from their busy schedules to help us as judges for the day. A Newberg family sweep as Dustin won the Division III competition while sister Jamie won Division IV.

Period Five -- ELA 20
Work period

Period Six -- ELA 10
We returned some assignments that have been on the desk for a few days. Seeing as there is a Social exam tomorrow but no class today we were given the remainder of the period to study for this exam.

Period Seven -- ELA 9
Collected student myths that were due for tomorrow. Students were then given an outline for the Romeo and Juliet exam on Thursday. The remainder of class time was given to look over their notes and assignments on the play.

Have a good night...Mr. Morin
