Humanities 9
We are in the middle of our Back to the Future project on Aboriginal people in Canada. Students should be done task 1 and 2 by now. We have an awesome guest speaker coming tomorrow to talk about clothing and baskets and another person booked for next week to talk about dog sledding and survival! It's awesome what we are up to! I will conference with students this week one-on-one to see how the project is going.

We are done the 1930s now, the test will be on Thursday, Nov 1. In the meantime we will be looking at study methods and a movie about pre-WWII Germany, Swing Kids...if I can get it from the video store!

Humanities 9
We are embracing our research about Aboriginal People of Canada, pre-contact. I have sent the class back in time to 100 years before contact through my classroom cupboard time machine, they should be home in time for dinner. We will be having lots of guest speakers coming, so stay tuned.

Update
Humanities 9
We finished the Canadian Geography unit yesterday, although we will still be using the information we learned in the next few units we are stydying. We had our unit test yesterday as well, some great results!
We are now studying Aboriginal people in Canada BEFORE contact. In the next week or so, students will be working on a vocabulary list and notes on the Aboriginal people in Canada pre-contact. I have arranged for a number of guest speakers to come in and talk about Aboriginal food, shelter, clothing, cooking, dog sledding (hopefully), medicine. We are working towards a very cool project where I send my students back in time to study an Aboriginal group before contact. It's going to be great!
