October 15

Today's schedule: A B C D

A block: Law 12
Today, you'll have the rest of the block to work on your fairy tale briefs.

C block: Humanities 8
After Silent Reading, you'll have the opportunity to do a free write in your journals. I'll give you some interesting sentence starters, and it'll be up to you to write a creative story. Afterwards, you'll get into your groups and get ready for your creation story presentations. One of the class groups will present their current event from last week.

For the rest of the week, we'll be working on our World Religions research project. You'll be in mixed groups and will be working in the library.

D block: Socials 11
Today, we'll go over Canada's changing identity. You did some work last week on these battles, and we will go over a few more details. We'll talk about various war technologies (tanks, airplanes, u-boats, poisonous gases...) and the types of fighting (battle of attrition and total war). I will show you a short clip from Canada: A People's History on Vimy Ridge, and we will discuss why Vimy Ridge is so important to Canada.

The chronological order of the battles that the CEF played a major part in are: Ypres, Somme, Vimy Ridge and Passchendaele.
