Due to a few
student absences today, we did not view the remaining ‘Welcome to _____, Canada’
videos. We plan to do this tomorrow instead.
We spent all
of our inquiry time working on the next phase of our summative task, ‘The
Ambassador’s Tea Party’. Today’s goal was to plan our electronic brochures by
creating a paper draft, ensuring that we have referred to and had included all
required criteria as per the checklist. Many students completed this task with
time to spare. As a result, we began the next phase of the project – creating an
electronic version of the brochure. Students used either a trifold brochure
template from Microsoft word, or formatted a page using Google Docs to create a
trifold brochure. I gave the class a quick tutorial on how to use both these options.
Students that were ready began their electronic brochure. We did some
troubleshooting, and have managed to overcome a few obstacles already with
respect to using the programmes. Students had extra time at the end of the day
to work on their brochures again. Some of Ms. Jaskolka’s students joined us
during this extra time. Students will have class time to work on and complete the
brochures tomorrow. The brochures will be due to me before the end of the
school day tomorrow. Students will be required to either email the brochure to
me as an attachment or share it with me through Google docs. Students who
prefer and are able to are asked to print a colour version of the brochure at
home and bring it to school on Friday. Students who did not complete the rough
paper draft of the brochure in class are asked to complete this for homework. Students
will need devices tomorrow to complete the electronic version of their
brochure.
Students
will share their brochures and form trade connections with ambassadors from
other developing countries at the Ambassador’s Tea Party, this Friday, March 1st.
Students are to come dressed to well represent their country. They are also
asked to supply a small plate of treats for the tea party, e.g. shortbread
biscuits or cucumber sandwiches. I will supply the tea.
Students
will be writing the UOI test on Tuesday, March 5th. They should be
reviewing all work covered so far in this unit, including map work.
We used some
class time to discuss the role of the teacher and the parent in exhibition. Then
we discussed the importance of reflecting. Students will be journaling through
exhibition as a way of reflecting. Today we discussed and agreed on the
criteria for journal reflections. Please
ask your child to tell you what they understand about exhibition so far.
Students had
French and math class today. In math, students took
up and discussed questions from the review worksheet. For homework
they are to complete Question No. 5 & 7 from the review worksheet. The next math unit test is Monday,
March 4th, 2019.
Due to bus cancellations Personal Projects have again been moved. We will
be visiting Grade 10 Personal Project Presentations tomorrow, Thursday, February
28th.
Tomorrow is Anti-Bullying Day. Students are asked to come to school
wearing a pink shirt (no uniform pieces required).
