Math 8L-Today we finished our module 1 review.  Students should use this packet to guide their review for the test Monday. Science 8- Students have been placed in groups of 2 or 3 to work on our lattest project.  The project will help student to show that they know the responsibilities/rol of a cell in an organ along with the fonction of the organ in the body. -Students will also learn how to self evaluate their work within the group.  -Students will also gain experience giving peer evaluations to their group members.    These last two skills are becoming increasingly more important in the work world.   All work will be done at school under the guidance of myself and the substitute teachers.  A sheet explaining the expectations has been handed out.  The rubric of how the project will be marked will be passed out early next wee from Mr. St.Pierre.
