Social Studies

Most students have begun to work on their province projects. The expectation is that all students should have their cover pages done by the end of this week. 
Almost all of the students have access to their google docs account.  The purpose of the project is to convince the grade 4 students that their province is the one they should visit for a summer holiday. Students will vote on the best 3 persuasive presentations. 

Criteria for Title page (First slide in Presentation)
Large title
Persuasive language in title: Venez au Quebec (Thank you, Christina)
I still have to find out how to insert French accents. There should be un accent aigu on the first e in Quebec.
At least 4 pictures in an organized fashion.
Small print: Name


To access their accounts, the students need to sign in using their email: first name.last name@ocsbstudent.ca.  They all have a generic password that they should know. I asked them to write it down in their agendas. They can access their accounts anywhere!

Please let me know if your child cannot access his/her account.

Yesterday, I modeled what information should be on the climate page of their presentation.  I will give each student access to my model so they can use it to help with their presentation. A copy will be sent to their google email. Each slide should include at least two facts.

I am sending home a hard copy of this note, but please sign up and subscribe to my blog to get this message electronically.

I sent home capital and province tests to be signed.  Some students did not have them signed. I will be making telephone calls to parents whose child is struggling in French right now.
