Today in Math we did an Entry Card to prepare for our test tomorrow. It was a review of quadrilaterals (we had to figure out if a trapezoid was also a rhombus), comparing and contrasting 2 linear functions, calculating percent and plotting points on Cartesian plane. We videoed our discussion of the solutions (in 2 parts) and we will post both parts here as soon as we can.
Grade 12 Business Leadership students from EL Crossley partnered with us today to do market research on our ideas. Their expertise really helped us research the product, possible customers, and other businesses that produce similar products. We started out with 7 possible ideas and after the research, pitches and 2 hours of class discussions, we are down to 3 possible ideas:
hydroponics (herbs, lettuce, etc)
plant-based skincare
eco-friendly packaging
As a class, we agreed to think about things for a couple of days and make our final decision on Thursday.
Today we worked on our Norval Morrisseau-inspired art projects. Some people have finished and we'll have a gallery of everyone's art in our class.
This picture shows art by Pierson, Makena and Sasha.
Today we had to use critical thinking to compare and contrast two different things and write about it. I compared and contrasted two different types of social media: Snapchat and Instagram.
