 Great Job to all students on a successful FLA 7 Midterm I was very proud of all of you!

   Today we started our second Novel study of the Year. This Novel is Called ``Enfants de la Rébellion`` and discussed the Rebellion in Lower Canada in 1837-1838. This corresponds perfectly with chapter 6 of the Social Studies 7 Curriculum that we will be starting tomorrow.

 Our first activity was to walk around the class and strike up a conversation ( in French of Course) with different partners with the help of the quotes ( from the all chapters of the Novel)  that I handed out. These quotes were used to spark the Students imagination and predicting skills to see if they could guess what the Novel is going to be about.

Students were then given some time after a class discussion to work on a title page for this Novel Study. I have asked that this be completed for homework for tomorrow!

We then dove into the book and read chapter 1. We will continue with a discussion and the chapter questions tomorrow. A lot of the assignments for this unit will be on the computer, so those that have tablets and or computers that can be brought to school please do so!
