What We Learned Today...September 25th

Today we started out with a very special school wide assembly in the gym.  Mrs. Steranko talked to us about our upcoming Terry Fox walk that we will take part in on Thursday.  She also showed us a really moving documentary about how Terry "stepped up" and made a difference in the world through his inspirational Marathon of Hope.  Once we got back to the classroom we viewed the documentary "Degrassi in India" as well as the "10X10 Movement" commercial.  Students were asked to respond to the prompts on their accompanying handout. 

After Lunch we continued to work through some key definitions from our expectations handout.  For the last hour the students received their Broadcast Studio assignment handouts.  We discussed the purpose of the assignment as well as the individual research that each group member would have to do.  You can view the first half of the assignment online here.
