Social Studies has been a very important class and this has benefited me much so. Throughout the year I have learned allot, and will enjoy this years end. However, learning more about Canada would have been a benefit; all in all, Social Studies 09 is my favourite class.
The Saskatchewan Teacher Federation has been in a dispute with the Canadian Government. Being a student, I am on ‘the wrong end of the stick.’ Now that we are in the last weeks of school more time needs to be dedicated to preparing for CFD’s. CFD’s are a very important aspect of the school year, and the teachers are not helping in this pursuit.
Throughout this week we have done many ways of educational activities. We have used: Power Point, Greek Hero Game, mini Flash quizzes, video notes, video quiz, and podcasting. I feel that I have learned the most from the Greek Hero Game because it is interactive and fun to do; however, there are other ways to learn. All in all, the traditional ways to teach may not always be the best.
For some, voting can be a very difficult thing; although, for others it is an easy decision. I personally am in favour of the Bloc Québécois, some people will disagree. This is an important aspect, everyone should consider all parties. This upcoming federal election is a waste. It takes thousands of dollars to run a election, which could be better spent on fixing roads, education, or the environment.
I have enjoyed working with Mr. Mann and Mr. Eiswirth throughout the days they have been here. They are innovative thinkers and I have had the benefit to be around them. The only thing that I believe they can improve on is to treat everyone like an equal {Not Talking Down}.
I have enjoyed working on this project as a group. Overall, I would like to have this experience again because it was enjoyable and innovative. However, there was a large amount of work, it helped to have a partner to share the load. I appreciate we get to use technology in and throughout this class.
So far this semester I have really enjoyed this class. However, I was hoping that we would do more projects on Photoshop or Flash. Mr. Vendramin has done a very good job of keeping me interested and wanting to do more. I find there is nothing in this class that does not work right. Overall I would give this class a 5/5.
DHMO stands for Dihydrogen Monoxide. Dihydrogen Monoxide is used everywhere in everyday lives. This compound is H2O, that also is called Di (For two hydrogen)-hydrogen Mon (For one oxygen) oxide. Therefore, put together is Dihydrogen Monoxide, also known as H2O. In conclusion, Dihydrogen Monoxide {H2O} can be harmless or dangerous, but it varies from place to place.
I think that Dihydrogen Monoxide {DHMO} is a colourless and odorless chemical compound. The U.S. Government and the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) do not classify Dihydrogen Monoxide as a toxic or carcinogenic substance (as it does with better known chemicals such as hydrochloric acid and benzene), DHMO is a constituent of many known toxic substances, diseases and disease-causing agents, environmental hazards and can even be lethal to humans in quantities as small as a thimbleful.I find that this site is a credible and reliable source of information. In conclusion, I would be willing to sign a petition banning DHMO.
o DHMO is a major component of acid rain.
o Given to vicious dogs involved in recent deadly attacks.
o Used by the U.S. Navy in the propulsion systems of some older vessels.
o Used in Nuclear power plants.
o Used in pesticide production and distribution.
“Does God exist?” is a very hard, but extremely interesting question, because as people do we really know? I have been going to church for as long as I can remember, my grandparents would always take me. I do believe that God exists, but I truly do not know. I find that God is everywhere; in our homes, churches, and everyday lives. I believe God shows us how we can be better in all that we do.
