January 14 - 18

This past week in humanities, students began their political campaigns. Students were assigned a political party based on their responses to a political spectrum survey as well as group dynamic considerations. The first research phase (light research) was due this week. The research guide is in the class D2L brightspace shell.

Students also began pre-reading activities for the novel, "Ember City" which we will begin next week. Activities can be found on D2L.

Students completed a weekend update report this past Monday based on the webcast CNN10.

Students also finished off a unit on Collective Rights based on the Charter of Rights and Freedoms with a PAT style summative quiz. Marks will be posted on Power School shortly.

January 10th - 11th

Welcome to 2019! For this short week back to school, students completed a political spectrum survey to help inform their placement in a political party for the upcoming school election campaign. The survey will be considered, but not dictate which party they will be placed in as other factors such as group dynamics and numbers will also be considered. The school election campaign will begin next week. Students also began looking at collective rights guaranteed to FNMI, Francophone and Anglophone Canadians. This was studied through a historically critical analysis. Next week, students will begin a novel study on "The City of Ember."
