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!

D - SS 10 > Residential Schools: The Secret Path

We spent the time watching the short film, "The Secret Path" which is a story of a young Native boy who escaped from a Residential school.  Everyone was given a set of questions that may be answered by the video and wrote observations of the images and ideas picked up from the story. 

We will continue to discuss the film next day.  This means you need to finish watching the video at 33:30 mark, titled: "Haunt them, haunt them, haunt them".  Also, you will need to finish the questions. Below will be the link for the video and some sites to help with the questions if needed.
