Humanities- Week in a Glance!

Today grade 7's began a short story unit. We looked at all of the elements of a short story and plot diagram and then watched the Pixar Short film, "Lifted" to apply our new knowledge. We will continue this tomorrow. They will continue this unit for one period every day this week. 

Also, 7-2 paired up with Mrs. Kingsley's 7-4 class and 7-2 paired up with Mrs. Kingsley's 7-3 class to start an Inquiry Research project. Students have found groups of no larger than 3 students between their corresponding grade 7 class and are either researching The American Revolution, The Loyalist Migration, or The War of 1812 and looking at it from the question of "how did this event help shape Canada's Identity?"

We will continue working on this research for one period every day this week. We present in the library on Monday, April 20th.
