We finished looking at some sample student essays from a previous Diploma Exam. You can find other samples of student writing at the Alberta Education website. We watched a short video on government in Canada, and then brainstormed a list of advantages and disadvantages of the Canadian political system. We'll start looking at the American political system tomorrow.
