Time Flies By When Studying Back in Time! Oops!

Sorry I haven't updated this blog recently - things got a little hectic around here but I am hoping to post every week from here on.

CHC 2D - test tomorrow on WWI and Canada - I know you will all do well - here is a bonus for those of you reading this - write your answer at the end of the test paper : what tax was started during the war that was supposed to be temporary and is still in effect today?

Our next unit will be an examination of Canada in the interwar years ( between WWI and WWII). This should take 2 - 3 weeks. Reading the opening pages of "A tale of two cities" by Charles Dickens really puts into perspective the themes of this unit.

CLN 4U - Well - we keep plugging along here - a little bogged down in our Constitution and Charter laws but it does make for some interesting cases! Many of you are not doing daily reading / homework / review etc and this may catch up with you in a negative way - get in a routine of doing work at home every day as this is good practice for university!
Be sure to come for extra help and explanation when needed - no need to operate in ignorance of the law ( is that a law?)

CHW 3M - Finishing up our examination of the ancient civilizations of the near East -Mesopotamia and Egypt - test is scheduled for this Thursday so that you can all participate in the DSS Hallowe'en Dance on Friday afternoon - unit summative assignments are due next Tuesday ( that is November 2) Be sure to put forth good efforts here as this is a major assignment for your mid term mark.

MONDAY, 1 NOVEMBER 2010 IS NOT A SCHOOL DAY FOR STUDENTS: PA DAY (PD DAY)
