Okay, I will try to update this every day...having troubles remembering.

Sept 21

We got the instructions for the comic strips and started them.

FNS12
We had a fantastic guest speaker in to talk about Aboriginal culture and the effects of residential schools.

Sept 22
Humanities 8
We worked on our comic strips. Students should have the first 3-4 frames done in pencil on the good copy paper by now. If not, it is for homework. Also, try to find a black fine-liner pen.

FNS12
We reflected on yesterdays guest speaker and then watched "T'lina", a video on making oolichan oil. Geographic Regions of BC were due today.

Getting back into the swing of things...

Humanities 8 B/F and D/H
We've been looking at comic strips and how they are put together. We will be creating our own comic strips next week, so students should be thinking of a good story to tell. No homework right now.

First Nations 12
We have been doing introductory activities, getting an overview of the course. We will be starting chapter 1 tomorrow. No homework today.

The first week of school 2009!!!

Yay, congratulations everyone on a fabulous first week of school. I am so excited about this year, I think it's going to be a great one.

This week we basically went over course outlines, grade 8's don't forget to get them signed by your parental units. Grade 8's also went over the discipline plan for our class, show this to your folks as well.

We've been doing some introductory stuff, getting to know you games, and generally getting used to being in school again.

Homework for grade 8's: think about how you want to learn in Humanities 8 this year!

Homework for FNS 12: read pages 8-15 in your texts and do the worksheet I handed out in class today, it's due Monday.

Have a super weekend!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Have a great summer!

Well, this is the final post for the year. I've had a super year with my Humanities 8 crew, I'm truly going to miss teaching them next year.

Here's some photo highlights of our year....

Today the book of manners was due. We worked on our vocabulary list for the final exam. We will spend the next few classes learning the last bit about the Renaissance and reviewing for our exam.

Wow! Hot enough for you?

Humanities 8
Today we reviewed yesterday's work on the events that lead to the beginning of the Renaissance: the Plague, the rise of Individualism, and Trade and Commerce.

We also looked at women's roles in the Renaissance...it was pretty much a lousy deal.

We are almost finished Romeo and Juliet! Just one more page of the play to go.
