May 14th

Geography - We finished our Human Systems Unit Test last week and have started a new unit called Human and Environment Interactions. Throughout his unit, students will become aware of the effects that humans have had and are having on the environment. Students will be accessing their 'ecological footprint.' We are also going to see some 'across Canada' footage via the Globe Trekker.

Religions - We are still working our way to the end of the Christianity Unit. I have decided to substitute our unit test with a summative assignment. For this assignment, we are going to be interviewing different Christians within our community and communicating that information in the form of a written assignment. These assignments will be due Wednesday May 19th. Thursday we will begin our unit on Islam.

American History - We will be having a "Civil War Jeopardy" on Monday, May 17th to prepare us for our Civil War unit test on Tuesday May18th. We will be experimenting with 'university style' lectures and working at perfecting our 'point form note' taking. We will be looking at America during the "Gilded Age!"
