Bl. C - Humanities 8: We began Kingdom of Heaven. Students have a focus sheet for this movie, and we are stopping frequently to discuss issues that come up, such as the code of chivalry and the medieval approach to religion - both Christianity and Islam. Students should be nearly finished their booklets, and they will be collected next week for evaluation.
Bl. B - FN 12: We did a chapter 6/7/8 review and students began researching the various landmark Acts and court cases that have affected First Nations people over the last 45 years (chapter 9). The UBC site "Indigenous Foundations" is a great place to find a wealth of information on these events. Students have a handout to place the details of these cases
Bl. A - English 10: We continued V for Vendetta after a discussion of the characters and how this movie fits strongly into the hero's journey pattern. Begin thinking about how you will respond to this movie in your upcoming writing piece.
** All students should check their updated marks on a regular basis to find out what they may be missing. Students should take ownership of their courses and monitor their progress regularly.
