Update - Humanities

Hey Folks,

It's been a pretty busy couple weeks! "Good on ya!" to those of you who submitted the first drafts of your essays last week -- it certainly helped to get the editing process moving.

By tonight, both classes will have read through each other's papers. Now, the original authors will decide whether or not they want to implement any suggested changes.

FINAL ESSAY DUE: Tuesday, December 17.

- Printed
- Font 12
- Double spacing
- References page (now that we've gone over this in class)

Please, also, type your name. The worst thing is spending time on a piece of writing, printing it off, and then scribbling your name in pen/pencil on the top! When I see this, I swear, I get a grey hair! It just all comes down to presentation + aesthetics of your work.

You also have either your illuminated manuscripts OR comic which will be due Tuesday, December 17 as well.


The countdown is on...

-Mrs. Lockyer

Week of September 9-13

Hi Folks!  Thanks for a great start to the 2019/2020 school year!  As you know, Mr. Badr and I are both new to the TMC community, and as such, are still waiting to be connected to all of the sites... unfortunately, we have not yet acquired access to the School Messenger system and PowerSchool. Once that is all up, we will let you know and things will be a lot smoother. Fingers crossed it all happens early next week! As of now, we've delved into our study of Worldview, taken a trip to Japan, and are in the midst of learning about why a country would want to isolate itself. By the end of the week, we will have starting talking about what makes a "scary" story (more-so suspense filled) and begin our work with Urban Legends. Don't forget -- Thursday, Sept 12 we will be in Kananaskis taking part in our G8 "Summit"! Dress for the weather, come with extra snacks, and be prepared to have a ton of fun! Thanks friends! This year is going to be a great one!  ...

Fraction Division Problems

Hello grade 8's, Here are a couple links to loads of practice problems (with solutions) for fraction division as well as the PDF link of the entire fractions chapter from the textbook. My expectation for this week is that you will work through at least two of these worksheets on your own and confirm your answers yourself. Textbook resources are in the share folder.
