Monday/Tuesday/Wednesday October 28/29/30, 2019
This week, students in Block 3/4 will be taking part in Career Education instead of Socials 8 (or English 8). In order to keep each of our Socials 8 (and English 8) classes on a similar schedule, Ms. Atamanuk and I will trade classes (twice) during blocks 7/8 this week. This will allow each of the grade 8 students that we teach to have 2 Socials and 2 English classes.
In Socials, students have started a new assignment using the Comic Life computer program. The assignment is to create a comic strip that depicts the events leading up to the signing of the Magna Carta (while including an explanation of what rights the Magna Carta protects). Students will be given 2 full classes to work on this assignment in the IT Lab. If they are unable to complete it during these two classes, they will need to take some time during lunch or after school on Thursday Oct 31 and/or Monday Nov 4. The assignment is due Tuesday November 5.
A reminder that the next chapter test will take place during the double block - Wednesday Nov. 6 (Blocks 7/8) or Thursday Nov. 7 (Blocks 3/4). Students will receive their review booklet on Wednesday Oct. 30. We will use class time on Monday (Nov. 4) and Tuesday (Nov. 5) to review for the test.
