Getting Ready for Student Vote 2017

Posted on by 0

Hello Bloggerclass,

The BC Student Vote will take place here at Carr on Monday, May 8 — the day before the actual election. Your votes will be recorded and compiled with thousands of votes from students all over BC. In order to vote responsibly, and to prepare ourselves as future voters too, we have to understand the platforms that the various political parties are presenting. In groups, we will prepare presentations to share and inform each other.

BC Elections Research – Research 4 main BC Parties

  1. Who is the BC leader? Give background.
  2. Who is the candidate for Vancouver Fairview? (school’s riding) Give background.
  3. Logos, slogans, posters, ads, key messages
  4. What are the party’s main priorities and ideas?
    e.g. Education, Health Care, Environment, Jobs, Innovation, etc.

Writing to Learn

Posted on by 21

Hello Bloggerclass,

Thank you to those of you who have published your memoirs and Human Rights essays as they relate to The Breadwinner. We have had some technical glitches to sort through, but I look forward to using our blogs more, so that we can share our work with others, and in this way also learn from each other.

Writing is not only a way to communicate, but it is also a great way to learn. When we transform our thoughts into words, sentences, and organized pieces… a little bit of magic happens! All those loose thoughts in our heads begin to take form, and they become fully-formed ideas, as they spill on to our paper (or computers).

Often times, we think that we have nothing to write about. However, if we take the time to pull our thoughts together and organize them, we come to clearly realize what we have learned. Taking that extra bit of effort to bring our thoughts forward makes all the difference! Let me know what you think.

Ms. Angel
