Tuesday, October 19th -- Day Five

Period One: History 30
We started the class by discussing the questions from yesterday's discussion on the differences between the Reformers and Oligarchies and their view of how the political process should be carried out. We then moved onto look at some of the factors that helped to ensure the Oligarchy maintain most of the control and power which included electoral practices and and restrictions on certain portions of the population from equal access to involvement in the decision making process. Notes are available on my Wiki.

Period Two: ELA 9
We started with some silent reading. Students were then given some paper on which they are to create their personal essay in pictures and images as opposed to words. This is not due for tomorrow.

Period Three/Four: ELA 20
Period Three started with the distribution of questions and activities based on yesterday's short story "Penny in the Dust" by Ernest Buckler. These questions are due tomorrow. At the onset of Period Four, Remembrance Day writing was introduced.
