Hello everyone.  Here's an update on class activities:

Socials 10: 
The land claim unit is long complete and democracy and justice are underway.  Students are currently working on their mock election campaigns.  I anticipate an exciting forum  next Thursday, December 15 in the library, when parties have an opportunity to speak to the electorate about their platforms and positions on various issues.  Voting will take place over the lunch hour to give everyone an opportunity to influence the final outcome.

Today, the final assessment project will be introduced.  Assignments due:
1.  Textbook questions on Democracy (these were due December 8)
2.  Essays on the landclaim due Monday, December 12 (this was extended due to a very informative guest speaker)
3.  Election projects due Thursday, December 15
4.  Final assessment projects due Tuesday, January 17

After Christmas we will be studying Canada's global position historically and currently. 

English 30-2:
Students are studying poetry and practicing visual response.  Their final exam will take place during class time on Thursday, December 15.  Senior Memories are due Friday, January 6.  Departmental exams take place on Wednesday, January 11 and Thursday, January 19.

That's it for now.
