Law 12: Tuesday, 12 June
Today we had a small class and used it as a review/test rewrite day. We'll finish Chapter 23 tomorrow.
English 8: Tuesday, 12 June
Today we started the class by trying to figure out where the multitude of alarm clocks ringing in the classroom were located. Then we read the play Tender Places. It was another typical Class of 2016 effort: 100%. There is no homework - I'm saving it for the last class (on Thursday).

English 12: Monday, 11 June
Today I asked you to read The Chrysanthemums by Steinbeck. I purposely did not "scaffold" this reading with teacher-support because you need to be "hardened" for the provincial exam. Please come to the next class with the Question 1 responses completed (a-e).
History 12: Monday, 11 June
Today I issued worksheets for the kayakers that missed the two lessons on the Middle East - they watched the "Israel and the Arab States" video during lunch. I also gave everyone the summary tables (Ex. 11 and 26).
We had a PPT discussion on the USSR/Afghanistan war 1979-1988. We noted the bias in using terms such as "freedom fighter" and how the "optics" change depending on the side from which you are viewing. Tomorrow we will examine the fall of the USSR's empire including the ideas of glasnost and perestroika
