Wednesday, Jan. 6, Day 1

ELA 9 - Today we discussed the issue of standing up for others. We talked about bullying, what people can do to stand up for others and themselves, and why it is important to do so. We then started making connections to standing up for others and the Holocaust. We will be watching an eye-opening documentary which includes many stories of survivors of Holocaust survivors.

PAA 8 - Pancakes and crepes were made today! Delicious!!!

ELA 20 - We started doing our Valedictorian speeches today. We analyzed other speeches from former Valedictorians, and then came up with some of the common characteristics of the speeches, as well as ways to make them stand out or be personalized. We also had time to read our novels which will be due in a couple weeks time.

SOC 30 - We corrected our questions on Canadian government and the constitution. We also started looking at the Confederation.
