Nov. 28th - Dec. 6th Update
The past couple weeks in humanities, students have been working on a variety of tasks including: Completing our class novel study of The Breadwinner by Deborah Ellis. Students completed their chapter summaries and wrote a quiz about the novel. We also watched the movie version of the novel and compared the similarities and differences between them. Working on our visual notes about Local Government. Using visual note taking strategies taught in class, students created a visual note sheet that included: services, elections, law making, urban, rural, council, and school boards. We will continue to explore how local governments impact us and how we can get involved in our community. We had a guest speaker, David Howard, visit the grade sixes and explain his role as the president of the ATCO Homes for Heroes project. Students will work towards writing news articles about the project through field trips to the site and our discussion with Mr. Howard.
