Over the course of this week, the Grade 7 and 8 classes will be watching a collection of films from this year's Hot Docs for Schools program. I am going to post the trailers, from YouTube, if they are available:
All The Time In the World
Haida Gwali: The Edge of the World
Help us find Sunil Tripathi
No Place to Hide: The Rehtaeh Parsons Story
There was not a direct YouTube link to this documentary, but the production company, Trinetra Productions, has posted a link about the film at http://trinetraproductions.com/noplacetohide/.
As part of this screening, a note was enclosed, from Rehtaeh's Mom, to be read before the screening of the documentary and this will be honoured. Also, there was a blog post, from Rehateh's Dad that is posted online. The topic is timely, since this is part of our discussions from the Grade 7 Helathy Living: Human Development & Sexual Health section of the curriculum. Here are his thoughts:

The topics which should be on the Study Sheet are on the board. Kaia and I did an example of a question where a missing mark needs to be calculated for a certain average.
It is a more elaborate example of what we did, with cubes, last week:
Before the test on Friday, we will play a few games to prime the brain. Study Sheets may also be used, along with any previous homework.
Reid did a really nice job on his diorama. Here is a shot of it:
