Bus Cancellation

Unfortunately Mother Nature has caused us to re-think our plans for today.  The students that have made it to classes to today will continue to do the activities planned.  If you have missed Friday Nov. 21, please spend some time to complete the following tasks:


History 30 - Our study of Residential Schools was completed today.  Please complete the questions about Residential Schools.  You can find the file on my Carlton Teacher Page under History 30 Resources.  The final question will be to compare the details presented in "We Were Children" to other sources describing Residential Schools.


History 20 - Our propaganda assessment was completed today.  Please complete your propaganda assessment for Tuesday Nov. 25.  You can find the assessment on my Carlton Teacher Page under History 20 Resources.

History 30 Update

Hi Parents/Guardians,

Just a quick update to let you know what has been happening in History 30.  Your students have been working hard at developing skills that will help them be active participants and decision-makers in society.  We were fortunate this semester to be able to hear Mr. Robbie Waisman (concentration camp survivor) speak to the student body.  His message of survival was an inspiration to many young people in the CPAC.

Students have completed Unit One and have finished several assessments. We will have a major assessment in 2 weeks that will include all events leading to Confederation.  Report cards will be distributed on October 31 and parent/teacher interviews will be on November 6 (3:30-8:30pm).

Currently students are looking at demonstrating the decision making process of dialectics.  Next month we plan to look at events that shaped Canada around Confederation, including the National Policy, immigration, CPR and the Indian Act.  

Please feel free to email me at any time with questions you may have.

Have a great week!

Welcome Back!

The ultimate aim of Social Science is for students to have a sense of themselves as active participants and citizens in an inclusive, culturally diverse, interdependent world. Everything that we do on a daily basis in class will be in response to this aim.
