Advisory: The Teenage Brain. We watched a video about the changing landscape of your teenage brain. These changes impact how you learn and live your day to day life. So, it is good to know how to take advantage and how to make up for shortcomings.

English Div 5: We read an article about the recent Supreme Court ruling on child supervision. You can find the link here, if you were away. Just scroll down to the exercise. We stated our opinions in writing; next class you will present and defend those opinions.

S.S. Div 2 and Div 5: We reviewed the differences between Primary and Secondary sources using items from Terry Fox's life. Many of you understand this differences between the two sources. Most importantly, you know which is the more reliable of the two and why. This is good because we are playing a "game" for marks this Monday, Sept. 28th for Div 2 and Tuesday, Sept. 29th for Div 5. Study for homework.

Numeracy: Mental Math drills to work those brains of yours.

English Div 6: We read an article about Facebook's Dislike button. You can find the link here, if you were away. Just scroll down to the exercise.
