Monday, May 4th

Bl A - English 10:  Today we finished of the movie Smoke signals and discussed in some depth.  Students have a list of questions to respond to:  We have a list in class - and are going to , in a well written paragraph, compare the movie (directed by Sherman alexie and based on his novel "The Lone Ranger and Tonto fistfight in heaven") and the novel ATDPTI.  Students will compare how the book and the movie deal with issues like poverty and problems on the "rez", conflict with both self and the outside world, and comparisons between Junior/Rowdy and Thomas/Victor.

Bl B - FN 12:  We watched a youtube clip called Nazis, Aparteid, and the Indian Act, to show some uncomfortably close comparisons.  The Students then took some detailed notes from a powerpoint of The Indian Act.  We will be developing an essay on this subject, and will be developing it in class tomorrow.

Bl C - Humanities 8:  After discussing our Lit circles as a class, the students continued to work on their Fact sheets on the early middle ages, and began to develop a detailed and artistic minp map.  This will serve as a good study guide for the upcoming test.
