Canada Moves West and The American Revolution Review

Hello parents and Humanities 9 students.  In class today we finished our last class of Social Studies review.  We discussed the big ideas associated with settlers moving west in North America, the fur trade and the events of the American Revolution.  I encourage students to continue to study and add to their review packages that were handed out last week.  Tomorrow we will review how to write a paragraph and an essay.  We will also start reviewing our literary terms for short stories and poetry.

Thanks for a great class.

Loyalists and The War of 1812

Today's Humanities 9 class was shortened due to our tutorial day.  I was disappointed to not see any students from Humanities 9 during the tutorial time.  Some students would have benefited from attending today's tutorial.

In today's class we discussed the following:
1.) Loyalists and Black Loyalists
2.) The results of the American Revolution
3.) The War of 1812 and the results of the war
4.) Mapping the War of 1812 and British North America

Work Day

Today's class was devoted to working on our Children's book.  Students will be given two more work blocks and than we will start our year review.  Children's books will be due on Friday June 15.

Final Exam will take place on Friday June 22.  If you are not going to be at school that day you must make arrangements with me to write your test at any earlier date.  If you do not write the test you will receive a 0 and lose 10% of your final grade.  We will start review next week please start preparing.
