Grade 7 Social Studies - Week of November 14 to 18

 On Friday, November 18th, Current Events duotangs are due.  Students had time in class to complete the work, however, they should review their work.  The following assignments must be completed:

• Thousands Pay Respects to Last Soviet Leader
• Queen Elizabeth II
• National Day for Truth and Reconciliation
• Travel Restrictions Lifted
• Post-tropical Storm Hits Atlantic Canada
• Stores Can Charge Fees for Using Credit Cards
• Israel and Lebanon Reach Historic Agreement
• Is Canada Headed for a Recession?

I encourage parents to work on these Current Events booklets with their child throughout the year:

• have discussions with your child and assist them in broadening their answers to the questions
• check your child's work for spelling mistakes, and have your child correct them
• check your child's work for proper punctuation
• make sure that your child has used capital letters at the beginning of all sentences, as well as with the names of specific places and people

This contribution can help your child to recognize where he or she is making common mistakes.  By correcting those mistakes, he/she can hand in the best possible work which will help to achieve a better grade in Social Studies.
