We began our
day working on our Canada in the World inquiry unit. Students were introduced
to the concepts of the Human Development Index, and developing and developed
countries. They learned that three criteria are used to create the HDI for a
country and that this indicates the quality of life of the people of a nation. Ask
your child to define the HDI, describe the criteria, and give values and
examples as well as locations on the world map of countries that are developed and
developing. Students will begin working on their next summative task tomorrow.
They have chosen a developing country with an HDI of less than 0.55 to explore
further. They will need devices tomorrow to begin their research as follows:

Students
will be creating a brochure that presents the PEPS features of their chosen developing
country. They are invited to share the brochures and form trade connections
with ambassador’s from other developing countries at the Ambassador’s Tea
Party, this Friday, March 1st. Student 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.
Next, students
continued working on their ‘Welcome to _______, Canada’ summative task. Today’s
goal was to complete the video, record the narration, upload the video to
YouTube, and send me the link. We hope to use class time tomorrow to view the
videos and reflect on our work. Students will be writing the unit test on Tuesday,
March 5th. They should begin reviewing all work covered so far in
this unit, including map work.
We used our
last bit of class time to begin understanding the process and the essential features
of exhibition. We referred to the guidelines that were created by the IBO.
Students had the opportunity to ask questions about exhibition.
Students had
gym, French and math class today. In math, students
reviewed tiling patterns. They are reminded that when congruent
copies of a figure cover a page and leave no gaps, the figure tiles the plane. A
triangle and quadrilateral always tiles the plane as it leaves no gaps and at
any point where the vertices meet, the angles add to 360. Students reviewed the
worksheet and completed questions from the text book. They began work on using
transformation to make designs. For homework they are to try to complete
Question No. 1 & 2 from the worksheet. The tentative date for the next math
unit test is Monday, March 4th, 2019.
Due to the bus cancellations, Grade 10 Personal Project Presentations
will take place on Wednesday, February 27th.
There is a bake sale taking place tomorrow.
