Students have started working on the most important project of Term 2. Each group - one, two or three students - has chosen a UNESCO Natural World Heritage site. They will need to research the site, prepare a Powerpoint slideshow, and present in front of the class. Slideshows need to be sent to or shared with jfoster@wqsb.qc.ca by Wednesday, December 3 at the latest. Presentations will happen on Monday, December 8 and Wednesday, December 10. Students have already worked

On Monday, November 24 students will write Level 1 of Geo Masters. Level 1 requires students to correctly label a world map with the seven continents and five oceans.

The next HIS test will happen on Thursday, November 27. Pages 86-121 of the blue workbook will be covered.

Wednesday, November 26 will be the date of the next GEO test. It will be based on pages 2 to 29 in the Natural Park workbook.

For students that missed the quizzes last week and did not go to the rewrites last Friday (Oct. 31) or this Monday (Nov. 3), there will be one last opportunity to get caught up: Wednesday, November 5 at 1:00 PM in Room 229.

Students who are absent from their quiz this week - GEO today, HIS tomorrow - must write it on one of the following days at lunch in Room 229: Friday, October 31 or Monday, November 3.

The final quiz for Term 1 will be on Wednesday, October 29 for GEO students, and on Thursday, October 30 for HIS students. The GEO quiz will cover pages 10-32 in the Metropolis workbook. The HIS quiz will cover pages 52-69, 78-79, and 86-89 in the blue History of the World workbook. Students will have a few minutes before the quiz to study, but they should spend some time reviewing these pages over the next few days.

Although there have already been two lunchtime opportunities to make up last week's quizzes, there are still a few students who haven't come to write their quizzes. I'm giving one final chance on Wednesday, October 22 at 1:00 PM in Room 229. There will be no other opportunities after this date.

Students who missed yesterday's GEO quiz or today's HIS quiz must get caught up at the beginning of lunch in Room 229 on one of the following dates: Friday, October 17 or Monday, October 20. Failure to complete a missed test will result in a mark of zero.

Please remember that the second quiz of Term 1 will happen this week.
