Socials 10:
Monday: Students got their text books for the class today. We then went over the Friday 5 quiz and did some review. From here we continued talking about the political spectrum, including creating a diagram and labeling it. We talked about and took notes on the major ideologies including capitalism, socialism, liberalism, fascism, communism and conservatism. We linked our knowledge to grade 9 and what we learned in grade 9. We also started to put our own political parties on the spectrum.
Tuesday: We started with some review. Talked about political parties, the purpose of political parties and what a party platform is. We watched this video: and started research in groups on our political parties. We also worked through the voter compass to understand how our views individually might land on the spectrum and matched with a party. We reviewed some aspects of the political spectrum.
Geography 12

We also spent some time outside orienting ourselves and talking about the Geography of Revelstoke. Monashees, Selkirks, prominent peaks and rivers. We also spent time studying some photos for the connections model presentations students will be doing in class.
