October 5

Today's schedule: A B C D

A block: Law 12
After talking about the "parties of offenses," we'll watch an episode from Law and Order - Episode 10, Season 9, "Hate." A group of young white supremacists are charged after a student was murdered. The DA wants to nail their ring leader, though, even though he does not act on his words.

C block: Humanities 8
Current Events day! We'll do short skits on the current event, and you'll present them in small groups. We'll spend the rest of class writing up our summaries and if there's time, we'll watch a short video.

D block: Socials 11
We'll wrap up our introduction to WWI unit today (hopefully!). We'll talk about technology, residential schools and the suffragist movement. I gave you some time to read a book called My Name is Seepeetza to give you an idea of what residential schools were like for Aboriginal children. We watched a short episode from Canada: A People's History on the women's movement, and I handed out these questions for you that will be due on Wednesday.

Happy Thanksgiving, everyone!
