September 15


We went to the library's Red Lab today to work on your IA. I really hope that you have completed the first section of your IA and are now moving on the second section. We'll get back to the fight to ratify the Treaty of Versailles next week. Also, on Thursday of next week (September 21st), we'll be going to the Blenheim Room to write a WRA I on the First World War. 




We continued our film study today of "Whale Rider" after you wrote the World Geography Test. I did a homework check on your Chapter 2 Key Terms and Questions as well today. Don't forget that he Illustrated Concept Map Assignment is due on Monday, September 25th, so this would be a great weekend to get some work done on it.
