February 24th

Image result for random acts of kindness quotes
Your Grade 9  course registration sheets are due tomorrow. If you have encountered problems, we will alert the high school.

Academic Notes:

HCE/English Div 5: We looked into how to assess whether a problem between students is a conflict, a lack of manners (rude), a lack of thought (mean) or bullying. You can find the activity on the Health and Career site; just click this link. You were to read the scenarios and make your judgement. We will follow up on Friday.

Social Studies Div 2: You had a quiz on the concept of scale and how to use it to determine distances on a map. We then had a lesson on how to convert distances on a map to metres and then kilometres.

Social Studies Div 5: You discussed where to put your manor land. Remember a manor included the nobles and their castle as well as the homes of the people under them; it was a self sufficient community. You were asked to submit a 5 point defense of your location for 5 marks. If you weren't here and don't know where your manor land was placed. You can suggest what geographical features would make a location appealing to a noble looking to establish a community. You would have to identify 5 points and then submit that when you return under the heading: "Manor Land Placement".

English Div 6: You submitted your setting assignments. Some were done much, much better than others. Your coach (that would be me) wants you to up your game; some of you are coasting. I discussed and assigned the character descriptions. You are to submit a detailed set of character sketches for all your main characters. These sketches should outline your characters' appearance and personality. I gave you a personality trait handout for a list of useful adjectives to describe personality. This assignment is due on February 29th and is worth 10 marks.

Today's question: What random act of kindness could you do for someone...tomorrow?
