Law 12: Friday, 2 March

Today we did the Chapter 6 terms quiz and then reviewed for next Thursday's Chapter 5-6 test.  Have a good weekend.

Hist 12: Friday, 2 March

Today, as you all know because you we all here, we wrote our Russia test.  You now have a better idea of the detail of a unit assessment.  You can see the application of the must, should, and could knows.  The objective questions focus on the must knows, whereas the subjective paragraph responses allow you to apply the variety of could knows you've learned: welcome to the arts.

Our next focus will be the rise of fascism, and we shall begin with DeMarco, Chapter 5 - Italy.  In addition to the text, we'll use workbook readings and exercises to revisit the ideological basis of fascism and compare it to democracy.

As you know, I will not be in class Monday to Wednesday, so our work will begin Thursday.

OOOOps

Sorry for missing the majority of the posts from Thursday - these are heady times.  I'll endeavor to be more judicious in meeting my portion of our social contract in the future.  I wonder what I would say to you if you missed an assignment?

Eng 8: Thursday, 1 March

Today we had a very productive writing block.  We shall continue working on our paragraphs on heroism in The Outsiders, next class.  I'm glad to see your willingness to experiment with the writing process and not be so tied to the idea of just "getting it done."  Have a good weekend - no homework.

History 12: Thursday, 1 March

Today we reviewed the Russia unit 1905-1939.  Tomorrow we shall write the test.  Remember, it's always a good idea to think of any topic with regards to the SPERM-G acronym.  We looked at the treaties aspect of politics and the economic policies as an example.

Good luck.

Law 12: Thursday, 1 March

Today we did the terms crossword puzzle from Chapter 6 - tomorrow we will do the Chapter 6 quiz.  We also discussed the cases for Chapter 6; you showed that you are really starting to think in a different way: in the past you used plain logic and opinion to guide your answers - now you are more inclined to pair legal principles with your logic.  Tomorrow we'll review Chapters 5-6, and when we return from the BCTF strike, we'll be writing the unit test.
