Nov. 18th - Nov. 21st Update

This past week in humanities we: 

• Continued our novel study of The Breadwinner by Deborah Ellis. We have five chapters left of the novel, if students are behind in their chapter summaries, check out our class summaries here to catch up on work! There will be a quiz on the novel next Monday December 2nd :)
• Began our Local Government unit in Social Studies, looking at some vocabulary words including: council, mayor, local government, provincial government, services and councillors. Students are using visual note-taking techniques to create their own study sheet of important terms. We began to look at some of the answers to the question: Why do we have a local government?  
• Check out this video that explains what each level of government in Canada is responsible for!
