• Continue thinking about your presentation for the Canada Fair. Make sure to work on all of the items we discussed in class. Remember the point of this is to try and convince others to move to your province or territory.
• Your first Reading Response Journal is due on Wednesday October 13. You have two weeks to work on this and refer back to your workshop duo-tang about how to approach your journal entries. There are a few hand outs in there as well as one workshop.

• Please finish your notes for the Canada Fair Project. Also, begin thinking about how you can market/sell your province/territory and make a convincing argument for people to move to it. We will begin working on this stage on Wednesday.
• I asked that the Questions for Memoirists activity be completed for Tuesday; however, because of the movie “Freedom Writers” we will not be looking at this until Thursday. Now there are definitely no excuses for not getting it done.

• Please have all of your information gathering completed for the “Who/What is Canada” assignment as you will be given more class time tomorrow to continue working on your “Face Mosaic.” Remember that this mosaic is a collage that is supposed to represent who you are. The head outline is only supposed to symbolize you and your collage does not need to resemble a face by any means.

Update – Marks have been updated to reflect all assignments and forms handed in as of Wednesday, September 22. Please note that I have not updated 7-01 & 7-07’s Designer Garb assignment yet.

7-01 & 7-07

• Start thinking about your Reading Response Journal and what we discussed in todays class about how to approach your journaling. I will explain due dates next week.

• If you have not yet interviewed your parents / relatives about your heritage then you must do so soon, as in now. We will be looking at and working with this information on Friday September 24.
• Please answer the following questions about the movie “One Week.” How do Canadians represent themselves? and how did/do Canadians view the landmarks presented in the movie? You are welcome to answer the question in any means that you feel best suits your needs. Just make sure you answer the questions and that I will be able to understand what you are trying to show me (ie. interpretive dance, model, etc).
