Mme Leroux - Notes

Mock Government Monday

Posted December 14, 2012

Greetings!

Over the last week and a half students have been covering the chapter on Government (Ch. 15). Yesterday they listened to political party platforms and debates and then they did a Student Vote. Today students were divided into groups according to how they voted which created our government in power as well as our opposition. Each group voted for their leaders which created our Prime Minister and our Opposition Leader. They then proposed a bill (projet de loi) and will be debating this bill on Monday in class. Information about our Mock Government Project is on the school web site (second page of documents) and the script will be placed on desks for Monday's debate. Students are asked to dress up and be prepared with all their research as Parliament will be in session. Best of luck to all. Looking forward to seeing everyone on Monday,

Have a wonderful weekend. Sincerely,

Mme Leroux (representing the Queen)

Check that you understand the curriculum outcomes. Chapter 1 is # 9.1.1 (course outine) and page 2 of your textbook ("questions importantes").
Read all five pages of your journal notes.
Use your textbook to remember conversations, presentations and activities we have done in class.
Remember, I test knowledge not memorization.
Try each question. Do your best.
