Students have started their study of First Nations groups in Canada. We will continue on with this for another week, with students writing their test on Friday, Dec. 3. There will be a voicethread project for this unit, which will require students to do some work at home or outside of class time using a computer. The midterm exams have been marked, and students were told their marks on Thursday - we will go over the exams with students some time this week.
We have one more chapter to complete before the Christmas break, as when we return from the break, we have only 3 weeks left before the semester is over.

Students are continuing with the study of Shakespeare's Julius Caesar. The have had to complete one voicethread so far, and the second will be due next week. For students who wrote the provincial exam, they do not know their marks yet, but they should check the BC Ministry of Education's website sometime in the next week or two and their marks should be there.

Nov. 15 - 19

Report cards go home next week.

S.S. 9

Students wrote their chp. 5 test and midterm exam this week. They are now finished with chps. 1 - 5, so they can take the work for these chps. out of their binders and put it somewhere safe incase they haven't handed all of it in for marks. We will begin chp. 7 next week and will have 7 and 8 completed before the winter break. That leaves 9 and 10 for when we return. Students should have handed in their French Revolution and Napoleon posters last week - we are still waiting for a few. Students are still working on the chp. 5 powerpoint project, which is due Monday, Nov. 29.

Chp. 7 is a study of First Nations groups in Canada. It is one of the easier chapters in the textbook, and students tend to enjoy it.
