Chapter 5
Chapter 5 is all about the lifestyle of Newfoundlanders during the 19th century leading into the 1900s. We will be looking at housing, entertainment, the role of the church, health care, and communication. If you or a family member has stories from that time period please share them with your student.
We have looked at housing and diet during this time and completed pg 102 #1, and 2.
FYI
8-2 is a few classes behind so we haven't gotten to chapter 5 yet.

Welcome Back
It's a little late, but Happy New Year :D
We've started the year back to school and back into the textbook. We've finished off chapter 4 with a debate and questions from the textbook. Post of your mark from chapter 4 are from those assignments. When we have our chapter 5 test the terms and some major concepts from chapter 4 will be included with that test.
The questions from chapter 4 are: page 86 #1, 2, and 3 (under 'Reviewing What You've Learned') and page 90 # 1 and 2.
Some students still have passed in their timeline from chapter 4. These students know who they are and if the work is not in by the time marks are due for their report card (Feb 3rd) the mark will be a 0.
The timeline was from 1800 to 1855 all the important dates are in chapter 4. students must include details about the date they posted as well as 3 images contributing to the timeline. If you have any issues there is an example in your textbook on page 70.
If you have any questions please feel free to call or email me.
