December 7


We watched excerpts from a CNN series called "The People Bomb" today in class. Please remember to complete your Topic B glossary terms for tomorrow. As of next week these terms are "fair game" (testable material) so please be ready!

After current events presentations today we started watching a film entitled "The Tides of War" which deals with the internment of Japanese-Canadians in WWII. We will be finishing this video tomorrow. I will post the link to the CBC Archives tomorrow (I had hoped that we would finish the film today).

A few of you asked me to post some information about the food drive for Sheriff King Home. Here's some information for Social 10-1 students:

  • the Food Drive lasts from Monday to Friday of next week
  • $1 donations count as one food item
  • donations will be sent down to the shipping dock on a daily basis in Period 1 (so I'm going to need some volunteers)
  • some food items will count as "bonus items" as there is a desperate need for them

The following is a list of these "bonus items":

  • Pasta/Tomato Sauce
  • Cheese Whiz
  • Peanut Butter
  • Jam/Jelly
  • Muffin Mix
  • Pancake Mix

Let's do our best to bring in as many food items as possible!

Mr. Gilchrist, I forgot my textbook at home so I was wondering if I could get the terms from just a regular dictionary and do them like that.

Also, is the stuff you assigned yesterday from the textbook due? Because I won't be able to do it if it is, as I left my textbook at home.

--------------------
The Hansard reporters pre-date the modern press (TV cameras being allowed in the House of Commons). They create a written transcript of everything that is said during debates and question period and other sessions in the House of Commons.

Now, that's a good question. You only have to find a part of another system that functions like political parties in general.
