Today we reviewed and discussed Chapter 6, Section 3 about the cultural diversity of Canada.

Assignment: Read Chapter 6, Section 4 (p. 177-180) and complete the notes, terms, and skillbuilder on the study guide. The Chapter 6 Vocabulary Practice worksheet is due tomorrow.

Today students reviewed Chapter 6 for the test which will be next Wednesday. We discussed that since we do not always have access to an overhead projetor, studying for next Tuesday's map quiz will be the student's responsibility. Graded outline maps were returned today so students can make corrections to the maps they will be studying.
We also discussed that next Wednesday is the end of the Quarter. Any assignment that is not turned in by next Wednesday becomes a zero, no exceptions. For example, if you do not turn in next Tuesday's assignment on Wednesday, it becomes a zero, just like any work that has been missng from throughout the quarter, regardless of the date it was assigned.
Almost all of the hour today (except about 10 minutes) was devoted to work time so students can complete today's assignments as well as any missing work that is still out.
Today's assignment: Read Section 3 (p. 171) and complete the notes, terms, and skillbuilder portions of the study guide. Complete the Chapter 6 Connect to History worksheet.
