Vendredi, la fin du mois.

First of all, congratulations to the students who participated in the presentation and production of "West Side Story". Great job kids! And a congratulations to Ms Banman and all the other staff who worked hard to make the musical possible.

This morning, 86 had some time to work on the "Histoire, Chapitre 10" that is due Monday.

It was 87s day for pool. There are still a few students who are risking their term mark by refusing to swim.

In the afternoon, classes 86 and 87 did a desk-cleaning and worked to rid themselves of the "Histoire" chapter homework. Some students also took the time to wash their desks. The Japanese school that comes in on the weekend will be especially happy to use some clean desks...

Monsieur Wanie,
I don't really understand question number 4 of ATC.
Are we supposed to research the term "developping nation" and then compare the pictures in the chapter to developping nations today? and by developping nations, do you mean like workplace/sweatshops in africa.
Are we supposed to say whats similar to workplaces back then to workplaces now in third world/ developping countries today?
Thank you,
Nathan

Hey Nathan! You hit the nail on the head. Look up the term developing nation (or developing country). Compare working conditions of the late 1800s and early 1900s in Canada to the conditions of present day developing nations. Unsafe, unsanitary, and exploitative working conditions are prevalent in some developing nations. Do some research to see if Canada's past has anything in common in this regard.

Oh, and Nathan, don't confuse two of the questions. The other question asks you to list pictures from the chapter that show unsafe or unsanitary working conditions. Select one and describe it more specifically to underline what in the picture is unsafe or unsanitary...

Hi Mr. Wanie
For #5 ATC (the interview) is it supposed to be in the 1800 or 1900s? Or now?
