Jeudi, deuxieme journee de pluie!

Today, 87 worked on their "A la gare" French folders first thing in the morning.

Then Monsieur Wanie outlined the latest big project. It's a cross-curricular activity, that incorporates French, Art, "Geographie" and "Histoire" into one assignment... to create a newspaper (un journal). Monsieur Wanie showed some examples from past years and students had a period to nail down their groups and come up with some preliminary ideas, then another period to further their ideas from talk into action.

In the afternoon, 86 had one period to work on their "Projet de Journal" and ended their day in the pool!

I think maybe page 170… You could also read this, but it's kinda dense.

Michaela: not sure where it says anything about him, but it is in there. Come in early tomorrow and I'll help you out. Ez's link is a good one! Paragraph 3 talks about how he stood up to the Canadian Government to get a better deal out of them when signing treaty number 6... For the answer to the question, you really want to say that Poundmaker and chiefs like him made the Canadian Government more (but not totally!) honest in the treaty making process...

Ez: Great link! Thanks!
