Finally, I have got this all put together and you guys can start doing schoolwork on the internet...WONDERFUL!! :) This year, since there were many problems with people being unable to create a google account, you will be using the blog as a spot to check up on things for class, but you won't actually be posting things on here. BUT you will be posting things on another site, which I will give you the address to so that you can go to and check it out...
So, we have been talking about contending loyalties lately and your questions revolves around whether or not they are good or bad for Canada. The website you are using is similar to Twitter in that you are just writing short answers to the question. You be required to put at least 2 "sticky notes" on each questions - one with your opinion and one as a response to somebody else's post. Your first 2 (minimal) posts will be due on MONDAY, OCTOBER 25. The website is at:

In other social news, you will probably have your Unit I/IV test the last week of October, probably the Wednesday or the Thursday. So start studying....You will also be starting your major project on genocides - yes, you will be expected to work on them on the week off in November.
Other than that, that is all the news I have for you..
