Week of October 31st - November 4th

ENG1P: This class is continuing to read about Franklin Crabbe. We have looked at the theme of "being an outsider" and of "dysfunction" both within a family and with a person. The character is reaching a severe crisis and we will take some time to examine how Crabbe will respond. The class will be writing a response journal to the novel at the midpoint. We continue to answer questions and complete a chart to keep the novel organized and easy to study for the test.

CHC2P: This class is starting the beginnings of WWII this week. We will re-cap the Treaty of Versailles from the First World War and look at how it led to angry feelings within Germany and the need for a leader like Hitler to emerge in order to bring Germany out of economic failure. We will also examine some of the other European leaders and the dictators at the time. Of course the impact of Canada will be foremost in the unit. How we Canadians responded, how the government responded and our participation in the Second World War.

ENG2P: This class completed a test last week for "Speak to the Earth". We will finish the novel off with a quick re-cap/question period and hand back and correct the test. We are then moving on to the next novel in the course. The themes will be related and the class will be able to keep track of the novel fairly easily with questions and a novel chart. This will help for the next novel test to keep them organized and help the class prepare and study in a more efficient manner.
