Wednesday, September 22nd -- Day Five

Period One: ELA 9
We started with some silent reading for ten minutes. Paragraphs that were handed in last week were returned, along with a discussion on the strengths and weaknesses of this work. The forms were then filled out in order to start CAT - 4 (Canadian Achievement Tests). These will start tomorrow. Lesson 10 of Language Power was then assigned for tomorrow.

Period Two/Three: ELA 20
The illustrations of the Radley House were collected as they were due today. We discussed the questions that were assigned for today. Chapter Five of To Kill a Mockingbird was assigned to be read for tomorrow. At the beginning of Pd. 3, we moved onto a discussion as to what we believe we will forever remember about Norquay and 'home'. This led to a reading of Wallace Stegner's essay "Back to Wolf Willow". Once completed students were to complete questions #1, 2, 3 & 4. Time will be allowed tomorrow.

Period Four: History 30
Students were asked to share their finding on the Seven Years' War and the Conquest. This led to a handotu that discussed the Seven Years' War and its impacts on Canadian history along with the Conquest. This led to an assignment where students are to think of issues and problems that the British had to deal with following the Conquest. Also if we were in charge at the time, how would we work to solve these issues? There will be a discussion on this matter tomorrow.

Period Five: Math 7
We wrote our exam on divisibility.

Period Six: ELA 10
The last of the oral Saskatchewan Ghost Stories were told. A due date of Friday was set for the collection of "The Legend of the Monkey's Paw" assignment. Students were then given the period to work on this assignment; there will be no more class time given to complete this assignment.

Period Seven: Math 7
We finished the divisibility exam.
