Today we talked abut Canada's decision to enter/not to enter in to WWII. We also discussed Canada's immigration policy back then and compared it to similar situations happening today. Good discussions/many reflections, use in your portfolio!!
As for tomorrow: The battles!
*Remember to bring your resume and cover letter to hand-in to me (any questions about interview questions you may have)

Psych 11/12-Welcome Back, Mar. 26
Welcome Back:) Your Psychological experiments are nearing their 'due date' (some of us are more prepared than others)! The written component of your experiment will be due by Friday (presentations to follow on Monday). You will be given class time to work on this on Wednesday (double block if really utilizing time) so bring laptops, all your data to class on that day!
SS11-Welcome Back, Mar. 26
Welcome back from Spring Break!! We only have 3 weeks until you leave me to go on work experience:( So, for our little time left together, we have a lot to get done!! First, in class today, we reviewed the events leading to WWII and you remembered quite a bit! If you were 'not participating as much' in this discussion, it is in your best interest to review what we have done so far on WWII. We also spent a lot of time on proper essay writing and together 'marked' 4 different essays! Hopefully, you found this helpful and will apply your learning to your own essays. We ended class with a task for tomorrow, answer this question and bring it completed to class: Should Canada involve itself with European affairs? Why/Why not?
**Remember, this is only based on what you know so far-how WWI affected Canadians, how different people in Canada may react (think French/English relations, for example)......
**Another important note-YOU have Mock Interviews on Thursday! You will need to have your completed cover letter and resume with you and dress appropriately (we will briefly discuss this in class tomorrow). We will review proper interview etiquette/resume expectations but I do not have time to go in to depth with this (as you all know we have missed lots of class time already) but if you have specific questions regarding any of this-please see me at flex:)

SS11-Spring Break
Hello All! Well......between job action and a gas leak-we are not where I thought we would be at this point-but that is okay, we will do what we can:) I have opted to not assign anything for homework over Spring Break as I believe the operative word in 'Spring Break' is BREAK. However, if you have missed days this week at all, this is what you need to have finished:
-final assessment: timeline for the 1920s and 1930s
- cue cards for the 1930s
- notes from Ch. 5 (up to pg. 138)
- 2 historical reflections: a) Is war ever justified? (our essential question for this unit)
b) How do you think Canada reacts to the outbreak of WWII? (predictions based on what you know about Canadian society/government so far)
**Have a wonderful Spring Break!!:) Remember, only 3 weeks left until you are off on work experience! It is not a bad idea, if you do not have one yet to make sure you have a current resume ready to go for when you get back.
