GDP Explained if you MISSED it in Class!
Take the time to watch the following video:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rqT5I0etVKg
Remember you will receive your GDP per capita and then you will multiply it by your population to find out your Gross Domestic Product. Your GDP is one indicator of how healthy you economy is, your society will need to represent variables. As you plan you will have to deal with the variables given to you. This is "why" Mrs.Krushel is always talking about the hard decisions
Also keep in mind that the map in the hallway is Mercator projected so you MUST go to an atlas to get a accurate representation of the size of your society.
(For example, Greenland looks bigger than Africa but we all know that Africa is eight times bigger in real life. It is very hard to take our round world and lay it flat!

Fantastic work today on your Lorax responses...thank you for sharing your writing process!
Construction Expo is tomorrow!
Please wear closed toe shoes & ensure that your hair is tied back. Lunch will be supplied. Please do not bring valuables with you to this event.
If you have not handed in your form, please hand it in first thing in the morning!!
Chem Unit Exam is on Thursday for the double in period 1 & 2.
45 multiple choice & 5 numerical responses
Please make sure that you put some big study time in...the exam is challenging. Outlines have been handed out & there is an outline with my notes on it posted under news in D2L.
901, unfortunately with the timing of the field trip tomorrow, you will not have any more review time. 902, you will have a single in period 7.

The Lorax
Ditto the great work today!!!
Please review the post below & ensure that you are answering with specific details...check over your Science notes from class.
Remember you can bring in your jot notes from today...pep those right up & load them up with ideas & support.
Hit the books for the Chem exam...Thursday morning double period.

THE LORAX
Grade 9's
Excellent answers and class discussion! If you feel that you need to add to your handout please re-watch The Lorax. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8V06ZOQuo0k
Remember that when you are forming responses you need to not only have the components of a paragraph (Topic sentence, Example/Explanation time 3 and a comment which ties it all together), you will also have to have your higher thinking on paper. In this case you are expected to ti examples that we see today or have talked about in class when answering the questions. You may have some homework before tomorrows class.
If you are looking for the structure of a paragraph:
Topic Sentence -1 to 2 sentence
Explanation -12 to 16 sentences
Examples/Evidence
Comment -2 to 3 sentences

Chem Review posted in D2L
I seem to be having issues with my CBE email...cannot log on! I did send an email to 901 and 902 families this morning but have no way of checking if it went through...fingers crossed.
I will post a copy of the review outline in D2L...902 you did not receive this on Friday after we returned from buddy reading.

Double Science Tuesday
Today we went over Molecular (Covalent) Compounds...properties of moleculars, how to name them, how to write formulae, & we built 3D molecular models.
Here are the practice moleculars from the board...please name them. As requested, here are some extra ionics to work on in preparation for our ionic vs molecular quiz on Thursday.
Please take a few jot notes from Topic 6 to ensure that you have have covered diatomic molecules.

Welcome Back--Science from Monday
Today we went over the Algebra Unit Assessment that students wrote on March 21 before the break. Exams were corrected & filed into portfolios.
We reviewed ionic compounds & pushed forward into polyatomics. Please practice these questions using the attached Periodic Table...this will be great practice for next year.

Welcome Back Everyone We Missed You!
We are using our visual journals each week to keep our daily works. You will need to come up with a way to keep your documents together. I suggest a sleeve on the back cover.
Today in class we watched the following video:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NlcaKMZv1jc
And complete the following video journal:
Do you think people who are different from each other can still be friends?
