Update!

Humanities 9

We are studying the concept of REVOLUTION and asking ourselves, does a revolution have to be violent to create change?  We did a quick overview of the French Revolution, the English Civil War, the American Revolution, and the Industrial Revolution.  This week we will each be choosing one revolution to study and make notes on, either from the list above or a whole new one (Cuban Revolution, the Velvet Revolution, the Green Revolution, the Arab Spring etc).  Next week we will be preparing a presentation to the class on our revolution.  The week before spring break we will be presenting our revolutions to the class and having the revolutions test on March 21.  So far, some awesome learning is happening!

FNS 12
This class is fantastically full of questions and comments and stories.  Lots of sharing, debates and discussions have been happening in class.  We've had 2 guest speakers in so far, Zaccheus Jackson, a spoken word artist  and Kathi Camilleri who took us through the Village Experience today.  Wonderful learning and respect is happening in  this class.  It's a joy to be with these students. 

Chapter 2 test is coming up soon and lots more guest speakers are booked! Stay tuned.
