ELA 9 - We have started Romeo and Juliet this week. After going through information on Shakespeare and the Globe Theatre, we read the prologue from the play, and spent time looking at Shakespearean vocabulary. Students also were handed back their research essays. They did a good job on these large writing projects.
PAA 8 - We made sugar cookies today!
SOCIAL 9 *** Reminder that the Foot Binding comparison paragraphs are due TOMORROW (Wednesday, April 28th)
SOC 10 - Our class had a discussion today based on culture, sovereignty, and government. We will be starting a section on Treaty Land Claims tomorrow.
ELA 20 - Students have been working on finishing up their AFL writing assessments, and To Kill a Mockingbird. We will hopefully be done the novel by the end of this week, and a test will soon follow.
