HFN2O:This class created a food product of their own last week, and listed all the nutritional requirements, daily intake and ingredients of this product in a work of art. This week the class will be looking at Dietary diseases. They will spend some time in the computer lab this week researching said project and putting it together in a slide show presentation and creating questions for their classmates to answer after witnessing their slide show. At the culmination of this research, each group will prepare a meal for that disease.

ENG1D: This class is looking at John Stienbeck's "Of Mice and Men". We are looking at the themes of the American Dream, Underdog's and answering questions on the novels chapters and expanding our vocabulary as well. This small novel is a perfect way to make the transition from short stories and poetry to the lengthy-ness of a novel.
