This week we have been considering the federal election as a current event and have worked to explore some of the different platforms and issues within this.
After reviewing how MPs are elected to the legislative branch, students have completed and discussed their results on the "I Side With" quiz.

Rick Mercer weighs in on voting. Do you agree or disagree with his points?
We are also exploring the Medici Family who were patrons of the various artists, architects and inventors during the Renaissance. Here is a link to a listening and writing assignment students did on Wednesday.
Along with considering finances in the Renaissance, students will also read and respond a story called "The Necklace" by Guy de Maupassant. An audio version is available through Libervox.
