Thursday, Sept 25, Day 2

SOC 9 - We started out with a review quiz on cyclical and linear time and after going through the quiz we reviewed the information from last day. We went through the text questions due for today and then discussed the topic of archeology as a means of understanding history. We looked at the three steps of archeology and read a case study about Bushfield West.

ELA 7 - Class started with us organizing our writing portfolios. We also started on our second writing assignment of the year: The Unsent Letter. This is a letter each student will write to Terry Fox, telling him what they wish they could say if he was still alive. It is a chance to practice writing a friendly letter, and a chance to share our feelings about a great Canadian hero.

CND 30 - We read a bit more on the Quiet Revolution and then did some questions on the historical event. The students also received their final project outline for unit one. We are nearly finished the unit (test soon approaching) and will work on the final project tomorrow and next week. REMINDER: DIALECTIC ESSAYS ARE DUE TOMORROW, FRIDAY 26TH.

SOC 10 -A unit review class! THE REVIEW SHEET IS DUE FOR TOMORROW'S CLASS as we will be going through it as a means of studying. THE TEST FOR UNIT ONE IN ON TUESDAY, SEPT, 30. Also, the MINORITY POSTER IS ALSO DUE TOMORROW!
