Staying on top of things.

This blog is created as a way to stay on top of the learning throughout the year and as a way to discuss various topics that will arise as you learn. I hope that you find this blog useful as a way of checking in on what you have missed while you were away and double-checking on the information that we will cover in the class.

An important note: It is YOUR responsibility to catch up on missed work and assignments through this blog. Therefore, I will expect that you will be prepared and ready for all activities and the work assigned will be completed on time. It is really important to stay on top of your work so we can be motivated, responsible members of the class.

Also, feel free to offer up your comments on lessons, activities, etc. as you like. It is important that you can comfortably offer up any feedback that will help create memorable learning experiences. Your voice is important.


Success does not come before effort in the dictionary!

G & A - Integrated Studies 8 > Seat work and interviews

Today's lesson while learner profile interviews continue:

Continue to work on the Early Explorers to Canada research assignment. Below are a few more tasks to do with researching on explorers.

1. Researching - Website evaluation
Using the sheet Evaluating Websites, read through the first page to familiarize yourself with the information and questions to answer when determining whether a website is a reliable source. Fill in the second page, using the sources you found the other day on Explorers to Canada.

2. Extra work > you may do this next activity if you have a lot of time left in class.
Refer to the site Canadian Museum of History: Virtual Museum of New France.   Look for the name of the explorers you found and go to their page. Look at the route of their journeys.  On a separate piece of paper, describe the areas they visited/explored. If possible, refer to names of locations, bodies of water, etc.
