Week of October 24th - 28th

ENG1P: This class is following the character of Franklin Crabbe and his misadventures. The novel is called "Crabbe" and the class is keeping track of some familiar terms; setting, plot, character and other literary devices, as well as answering some questions on the events of the novel. This week the class will have a look at some of the themes in the novel and how they are being revealed by the author to the reader. We continue to look at/read the novel this week as well as related subjects.

CHC2P: The 20's and 30's are coming to a close. The class will be demonstrating their knowledge of why we don't stock pile our goods or rely on one country for our imports/exports. The class can also explain why we don't purchase items 'on margin' any longer. A review of technologies, people, events and occurences from those two decades will happen this week followed by some time to complete their time capsule and a small quiz before preparing the class for what was happening in Europe at the end of the 1930's (Germany).

ENG2P: This class is finishing "Speak to the Earth". Environmental issues are in the media constantly these days but this wasn't the case in 1993 and Clayoquot Sound was relatively new to the media for this type of protest. The students will look at how well or poorly the novel mirrored the actual events of 1993. The class will review the questions they have answered, preparing them for submission and making sure all vocabulary words have been completed as well. The class will be having a test on "Speak to the Earth" at the end of the week - they will decide on the better day (Thurs/Fri).
