  • Virtual Field Trip Part II is due on Wednesday March 14 and Part III is due on Friday March 16. This should be enough time to complete everything if you are using your class time well and keeping up with your work. However, I know this is not the case for some of you and therefore you are going to have to work hard to get caught up.

  • Remember that you need to try and read for an uninterrupted time of at least 20 minutes for you to be able to get into what you are reading. Most of you had no trouble doing that during the time given to you in class to read today. This is why I try to provide you with this time because at home there are so many other distractions.
  • If you feel as though you are behind on your “Greatest Canadian” research then please do some work at home. By the end of tomorrow you should be finished your research.
