S.S. 9
Students wrote their chp. 3 test on Friday and started chp. 4 by working on a crossword puzzle using the vocabulary from the chp. With the completion of the French Revolution, we will now study Napoleon and some of his campaigns. There is a combined project for chps. 3 & 4, which students began on Thursday. This will not be due for a while, as we will need to finish chp. 4 first. They will have another class in the library computer lab well before it is due.

English 12.
Most students presented their 2 minute speeches on Thurs., and they were great! It is never easy to speak infront of one's peers. We have started studying poetry and will do several exam preps. throughout this unit. If students have not submitted their 3 initial synthesis essays, or their final synthesis essay for marking, they will need to do that ASAP - these are worth significant marks.
