Friday, October 10 - Math/Science

Today we looked at various mixtures and brainstormed suggestions as to how you could separate the mixtures using various techniques to keep the original materials.

No math today...we'll start Fraction operations on Tuesday.

Humanities - Oct. 9

Today we finished the movie, A Knight's Tale.  We will begin our written reflections next week.  There is no humanities class tomorrow.  Have a great long weekend - Happy Thanksgiving!

Humanities - October 8

As a class, we finished our discussions around the Middle Ages and the feudal system.  Students were asked to consolidate their understanding in a journaling activity called a 'CSI'.  We continue to watch the film "A Knight's Tale".  From here, the students will be asked to create a film review which critiques the portrayal of the middle ages as seen in the film.  In their writing, students will be asked to consider the elements of worldview including, beliefs, values, society, geography, time, economy and knowledge. We will likely begin this written assignment on Monday.

Humanities - Tues. Oct. 7th

Today we took up the homework from yesterday (Ch. 1 Medieval Europe Questions). These questions can be found in D2L in the Content Section. Tomorrow we will complete this together and the answers will be posted on D2L. 

Math/Science - October 6th

Reminder of your Integers Test - Tuesday, October 7th.  Chapter Review on page 318-319

We also discussed writing a quiz in Science this week.  Due to the 'Dare to Care' assembly on Wednesday, we will postpone the quiz until Thursday.

Humanities - Oct 2

Students worked on some vocabulary connected to the feudal system.  This involved having students provide a definition, facts and examples of the following roles: king, lord, knight, serf and peasant.  As well, they were asked to write about the worldview of each of these people.  In this, they were encouraged to reflect on the values, beliefs, knowledge, societal roles, ecomony, geography and time for each of these roles.  This work is due tomorrow.  Students were encouraged to advocate for themselves if this due date was going to present a challenge.
