Grade 7 Social Studies
We corrected current events on Steve Jobs and All Hallows Eve. Students have another few short current event articles due for Tuesday (Distracted Driving, Hurricane Season, Gaddafi). On Monday we will begin our grouping for our Inquiry Project. We have decided to create a Wiki to organize the information the student's gather on the pre-confederation Aboriginal groups.

Grade 8 Social Studies
8A marked their first set of current events today. 8C will be marking these current events on Monday. These two articles covered Steve Jobs and All Hallows Eve. Tuesday we will be marking the second portion of the book which covers Gaddafi, Distracted Drivers, The Future of the NDP, and Hurricane Season.
We compared and contrasted the Country and Town Life of medieval Europe today. Students discussed the positives and the negatives of each life style. They identified and justified which setting they would have preferred to live in had they lived during the medieval times. On Monday we will begin looking at the Feudal system and the challenges it faced.
Grade 8 Homeroom
Students used this as their study block for the week - they were preparing for their Language Arts test, organizing their lockers and working on Social Studies homework.
Have a nice weekend!
