Monday, October 4th -- Day One

Another Monday, another celebrated win by the Green and White over the weekend.

Period One: History 20
We started with a Current Events discussion. Following that we reviewed the "Schlieffen Plan" and discussed any problems that the students see with this plan and its goals. We then looked at the French Plan for the early days of World War I, and using this knowledge had a small discussion as to who's plan is more likely to be succesful and why. We then looked at a handout which discussed reasons why the Schlieffen Plan was not succesful in the end. For tomorrow students are to identify the four greatest factors that attributed to the failure of the Schlieffen Plan.

Period Two: ELA 9
We started the final section of the CAT - 4 exam; Mathematics.

Period Three: History 30
After a Current Events discusion we looked at some questions based on the issues that helped lead to the American Revolution. The assignment based on the Quebec Act was not completed by all so it was decided that this MUST be done for tomorrow so we can discuss it and move on. We ended the day by looking at the end of the American Revolution and the actions of the Loyalists as they effected present day Canada.

Period Five: Math 7
The assignment from last class was collected. We then moved on looking at charts and the use of simple algebra to complete these charts. After some examples were completed as a class, Pg. 27, #1 a,b,c and #2 a, b, c were assigned for next class which is Wednesday.

Period Six: ELA 10
After a few minutes of reading, we went to the library to research for our research assignments.

Period Seven: ELA 9
We completed the final section of the CAT - 4 exam. Once it was done, most of the girls had left for Volleyball so the remainder of the period was a reading/homework period.
