Khan, you are my hero. This is someone who loves learning and wants to share it for FREEEEEE.

Academic Notes:

Math Div 4: We continued our notes on Area and Perimeter. The notes revolved around the area of a triangle. You were introduced to Khan Academy, a great site for explorations in Math at the grade 8 level and beyond. You did a practice set.

English Div 5: We read until 37:54 on the youtube audio book version of Lord of the Flies. You were asked to continue to look for evidence of leadership potential in the main characters. As it stands, Ralph and Jack both show leadership skills and command the respect of the rest of the boys. How they get that respect is different. The difference is subtle now. We will be looking at how it is different next week. You were to take notes for a future in class assignment.

English Div 4: We read until 49:54 on the youtube audio book version of Lord of the Flies. See Div 4 Write Up.

Social Studies Div 3: We worked in our groups to determine what information our artifacts/historical information sources could provide. You reported out to the larger group. Be prepared to demonstrate that you understand what a primary and secondary source is next week in a review quiz.
