Hist 12: Friday, 8 April

Today was a working block - I issued workbook exercises for the upcoming mini-unit on the USA (in the 1920s and 30s).  Some students returned to the soccer game as spectators, and two were playing.  We agreed that Ex 18-20 should be finished in-class (or at home) before Monday's class.

On Monday, we'll wrap up Germany (for now) and start the USA.

Have a super-d-duper weekend.

En 12: Friday, 8 April

Today, I returned your short story essays and then we read Hamlet I, i.  I also discussed some of the conventions of Shakespeare's language and form.  Remember to think about these conventions as you are practicing your lines - try to infuse as much life into your parts as possible.

No homework (unless you are reading for scene 2 and have to review your lines on Sunday night).

En 11: Friday, 8 April

Today, we discovered "who killed Mr. Kelly" and then debriefed the group dynamics that got us to the answer.  I always have fun doing this activity.  Next, we re-examined the notion of inquiry questions and then worked to agree on an inquiry question that we could spend some time answering.  Think about our discussions - we need to decide which suggested question we'll use at the beginning of next class.  Then we'll see how Lord of the Flies might assist us in understanding the question we choose.

Have a sunny weekend.

HIST 12: Thursday, 7 April

Today we read a handout on the Nuremberg Laws of 1935.  We also did another chronological ordering of events activity like the one we did on the Russian revolutions.  We used the election results to help order the events around 1932.  Next we copied and discussed some notes.  Finally, Mr. Marshall found out that only 2/12 of the class did their homework (Exercise 9) - thanks to those superstars who came to class prepared.

Tomorrow we'll finish Hitler's Germany and prepare for our study of the USA in the 20s and 30s. We will read DeMarco pp. 113 - 120

SS 11: Thursday, 7 April

Today, we bagan by reviewing the European map of 1920.  Next we viewed a PPT of the 1919 Winnipeg General Strike.  We also discussed how unions work in general and how strikes work - both general strikes and union-specific strikes.  Please complete questions 1- 29 on your Chaoetr 3 question sheet.

Eng 12: Thursday, 7 April

Today, we were introduced to Hamlet.  We did a few "fun" outside activities: Matt don't tell the College of Teachers that I scared you or I might lose my job.  I handed out a study guide and the first assignment.  Please make sure you come to every class because we are going to assign reading parts and it will upset the plan if people are absent when they have parts.  The parts for tommorrow are listed here.  Enjoy.
