supplemental notes: Media, Language, Math, History

Media Literacy

The purpose of this lesson is to focus and pay attention to some of the unhealthy messages we sometimes see in the Media.  But let's not stop with the negative.  For the other part of this activity, you will think about what some healthy messages might be.  In this way, you are allowed to imagine how things can and should be different. This exercise connects to the Healthy Relationships unit we are currently working on.

This original lesson comes from teentalk.ca

Myth & Reading Responses

During your work period, you should reference the board which has the handouts explaining the parts of the Myth assignment.  Justin, I have given you some feedback on your work from yesterday and your notebook is at the front of the room to be handed out.

Information on the Reading Responses is posted on Google Classroom, along with a sample from one of Ms. Brougham's former students.  I will model how to do one of the shorter responses on Friday.

Math:  Data Management

You will slowly begin a new unit on the topics related to measures of central tendency.

This may be a review for a number of you, but we will be using some of the skills we have learned in the Algebra strand in this.  More to come!

 History

This was a note I began with 7/8C.  It was a model of the jot notes I was taking from p. 84 of the textbook. 

I will scan the History textbook pages into Google Classroom, in case you are not done.

In my note, there is a link to a page that has this video of the Citadel:

This version of the Citadel is the 4th version of it.

In 1796, Jamaican Maroons, who were brought to Halifax, as part of a peace deal with the British in Jamaica, helped build the third version of the Citadel.  A number of these Maroons stayed in Nova Scotia, while others left for Sierra Leone (from the book Black Heritage by Livesey & Smith).

While I did not use this link in the jot note example, this link takes you to some spectacular shots and history of the fort:

The jot notes will be checked the week of January 15th.
