Block D (1-4) Socials 10


We started the CPR (Canadian Pacific Railway) unit today. We discussed the major factors in its creation, what was needed for its completion, who benefited most and who suffered.
You took notes on pages 228-9, and 234-6 and answered questions 1-3 on page 236.


Block A (1-1) English 9


I collected the last of the Much Ado About Nothing assignments.


We started looking at travel writing with articles by Alastair Humphreys (A Man With A Bike) and John Mitchell (Airport Arrivals are Hell). You did a half hour free write on a local travel experience (Richmond/Steveston/Vancouver)


FOR NEXT CLASS: Find a travel article (online/magazine/newspaper/chapter from a book), read it through and familiarize yourself with it well enough to present the information about the author, the area and the experience to the class.
