Later this week students will be bringing home their Outsiders Novel Study which has been marked for Chapters 1-3. Many students need to put more effort in to their comprehension questions and add both detail and reasoning to their explanations. Students will continue to work on the Outsiders for the next couple of weeks. Currently we have finished reading up to chapter 5 and are now working on the Chapter 4 and 5 activities.
Last week we wrapped up our Ratio/Percent Unit in Math and I am still marking the unit test that will also be sent home for signatures. Today we began our new topic of Patterning and Algebra with a class discussion and some sample questions. Students will be given a project to complete in this unit in addition to the final unit test.
On Thursday students will have a test on the Scientific Process which covers all the questions they were given during their group work. Students should study these as well as the fishbone diagram and flowchart that we have created in class. The Mythbusters lab report should be used in answering the questions to help provide examples of the different aspects of the scientific process. The students need to study for this test as it covers a fair bit of new material.
Many thanks
Mr.Brooks
