Socials 11: Notes from Tuesday, 15 Feb

Today we reviewed two samples of student paragraph writing that I marked as being "exemplary."  We examined one to see what balance the writer chose between "facts" and "so-what" statements.  We also noted how the writer concluded with a synthesizing "big picture" statement to show what overall effect the topic had on the war.

Next, we had a short discussion to emphasize the "must knows" associated with the 1942 conscription plebescite and identified some ways that politicians can try to be "persuasive."

Finally, we watched the segment from the People's History series on the internment of Japanese Canadians after the attack on the USA at Pearl Harbor.  Students were given Ex # 13 to complete in class.

Please complete Ex # 9-10 for homework.  We will do Ex #12 in class on Thursday.

  2. The kid can live with your current family provided that
    there (unless you already have 2 kids in the house, then you can't put them there).

    Every age sees one or many battles fought between the two.
    One issue we received a coupon for 55 cents off of Kraft mayonnaise and
    one FREE coupon for Kraft salad dressing up to $3.

    I do not know whether it's just me or if perhaps everyone else encountering issues with your site.

    It appears like some of the written text in your posts are running off the screen.
    Can somebody else please provide feedback
    and let me know if this is happening to them too?
    This could be a issue with my browser because I've had this happen before.
    Many thanks uebers knie legen
