October 9: Upcoming dates

Hello everyone,

Students have been working on material in chapter 2 of their textbook based on the Youth Criminal Justice Act. Students were given an assignment last week that will be due on Thursday, October 18; the assignment can be found in their red duo-tangs with the rubric attached. Students will be tested on the same material on Friday, October 19.

Welcome to grade 9 Social Studies

Hi Folks,

This is my second year teaching at BWS; I teach PE for the school and grade 7 and 9 Social Studies. The students in grade 9 social studies are using a textbook called, "Issues for Canadians". Every chapter we cover has a major assignment as well as a test covering all the material discussed in class. Rarely, if ever, will I assign something and expect it to be complete the following day. Typically I will give one week’s notice and often times two weeks for larger assignments. ALL students have a red duo-tang for Social Studies and are to put all handouts, homework and assignments in it. So far homework has been:

Friday September 7

·      Read chapter 1 of textbook

·      Complete glossary of terms handout for chapter 1

Friday September 14

·      25 question fill in the blank found in red duo-tang (all students have assignment)

Friday September 21

·      Chapter 1 essay assignment

·      Chapter 1 test

Being a provincial achievement test year, things move at a pretty rapid pace, so if you son/daughter is struggling with a concept please do not hesitate to contact me.

Thank you,

Jamie Landry
