This week in math students learned about the different types of transformations, including translations, rotations and reflections. In science students presented their device, toy or product that shows a transformation of energy. Students also presented their commercial to sell their device. In addition, students presented their speeches. (It was a busy week!) I was so impressed with the students' writing and delivery!
This week we began our last inquiry of the year, which centres around the question, "What does it mean to be Canadian?" We analyzed the work of Canadian artists at the AGO and brainstormed a list of key values. Students will choose a key value and issue, and will write a persuasive business letter to a person in Canada in a position of value to try to create change.
