Today's block order is A B C D

B Block   Socials 9

Today we had a discussion on the divisions that were appearing in the Catholic Church. The result of people being upset with the Catholic Church resulted in the beings of the Protestant Church. We discussed the differences between the two. Then the students wrote an open book quiz on the Middle Ages...or Chapter 1 as I call it.  The students were allowed to use their notes.
Finally we began the next chapter by having the students work on a map of England.

C/D Block   Law 12

Students were probed on their knowledge of the Rights that they feel they have in Canada. We discussed the purpose of the Charter of Rights and Freedoms in Canada. I made a list of the ten most important rights and freedoms and had the students rank their importance to them. This sparked an interesting debate as to which right should be the most important....it was Equality Rights... Next the students broke up into groups and worked on a Desert Survival assignment. This was a precursor for the project is coming later in the week. Let's just say that not many of us would survive any time in the desert.
Finally we went over the Survivor Island Project. I gave instructions of how I would like it to be completed along with a few examples from previous years. The class will have the next 3-4 periods to work on it.
