Grade 7 Social Studies

Students participated in a Socratic Debate today to defend, with evidence from the primary sources in their textbook, the position of the speaker which they felt most closely matched their own beliefs.  Students participated in some rich discussion about issues we face in society, such as how to deal with historical events that are not acceptable in our society today.

Grade 8 Social Studies

Students finished looking at the art, sculpture and literature of the Renaissance period.  Tomorrow, they will explore the inventions and technology that rose from this era.  There will be an assignment for the assessment of Chapter 4 material (given tomorrow in class) and a test on Chapters 2 and 3 on Monday.  Students will need to have all materials in class tomorrow.

Grade 8 Health

Students began collecting information for their digital identity poster.  This is the more enjoyable point in the project because students generally feel like they are getting to the interesting "stuff".
