This week, students were assigned a weekend update based on CNN10s Monday report. You can find the report in CNN10s archives Three stories included the caucus process in the United States, Kobe Bryant's tragic story from the weekend, and the power of Super Bowl ads. The three big questions that are associated with each story are:
1. How does the process of selecting a party leader in the United States differ from the process in Canada?
2. Who, in your opinion, is the greatest NBA player of all time?
3. What is your favorite commercial of all-time? Why?
A special shout out to Ernest Morrow can be viewed in Thursday, January 30th's episode of CNN10. Here is a link to the webcast: CNN10 Ernest Morrow
We also began our studies on different Economic Systems, starting with the Economy Game on Monday. Students participated in lessons and a vocabulary task throughout the week. Here is a link to the power point used during lessons: Economics PPT.
Parent Teacher Interviews are Thursday and Friday this week. Please book online through the school website or call the office (403-777-7800) to reserve a time slot.
