This past week, students did a weekend update report on one of two news stories, viewed in class. They reported on the five w's of the story and then answered a question related to the story. Here are the two questions with the link to the appropriate video:
November 25 CNN10 Bubonic Plague: The bubonic plague is one of many diseases, thought to have been eradicated, that has made a comeback in recent years. Should a new law be passed that makes it mandatory to get vaccinated (except for special circumstances)? Why or why not?
November 7 CNN10 Self-Driving Automobiles: Should non self-driving vehicles be banned from public roads in the near future? Why or why not?
Students also finished their short stories, which are due Friday November 29th, via lined paper or Google Docs.
Next weeks, students will begin a social studies unit, looking at federal government structure in Canada and the process in which new laws (bills) are passed.
