November 26 - 30

This past week in humanities, a public health nurse came in once per day to teach students about sexual health as part of the Alberta Education Health curriculum. Students also received information about planning for their transitions to high school next year and went on a tour of both Forest Lawn High School and Jack James High School. Students also began the early stages of "The Game of Life" for which they conduct research based on desired lifestyles, including careers, transportation, housing, entertainment, etc. This project will be long term and is in collaboration with Mathematics, for which they will budget for their desirable lifestyles. On Friday, students watched part 2 of "Freedom Writers" as part of the Healthy Relationships and Stress Management units in Health. Next week, students will continue their "Game of Life" assignments, continue reading Animal Farm, and begin a unit on individual freedoms in Canada using the Charter of Rights and Freedoms as a guide. Student handouts and resources can be found on the class D2L Brightspace shell through the CBE website.
