Mr. B is Away!
Hello Students!
Sorry for any confusion today while I was away. I forgot to give Mr. D a heads up about class.
It sounds like things did eventually get organized - thanks to Mr. D for stepping up!
For next class, I will have a package of case studies related to the Charter of Rights and Freedoms for you to complete.
Please pick a partner, read the cases and answer the questions attached to each case.
We we will review your responses as a class next week.
Also be reminded that we have a test on the first unit of study on November 2nd. See the previous post for a summary of topics
Hope all is well - see you next week!
