Have a great summer
I hope you are all getting started with your summer vacations.
I had a good time teaching you this semester, and look forward to seeing how you have grown and changed when I return from Kuwait.
Have a safe and happy Summer!

Well, it's all over but the victory dance!
I just spent ALL DAY marking your copious history exams, and I am happy to report that you were all successful in completing your 3M history credit. If you want to peruse your exam (and see the mark, as it will NOT be recorded on your report card) you should drop by sometime after 12pm on Monday. Do not come in the morning, as I have to proctor a grade 9 geography exam. By 3pm Monday the exams will be submitted to the office, and you will have to make a special appointment to see yours.
I want to say again how much I enjoyed each and every one of you, and our time together this semester. Enjoy your summer break!
Exams are just around the corner fishes!
CHW 3M writes at 9 am on THURSDAY morning. The exam is 2 hours.
CGC 1P writes at 9 am on MONDAY morning. The exam is 1.5 hours
You must stay in the room (261) for 90 mins. While there are NO electronic devices allowed in the exam room, you may certainly bring a book or magazine to keep yourself QUIETLY busy in case you finish early. Please do not bring notes in to the exam (with the exception of the cheat sheets for grade 9).
I will be available in the afternoons on Friday, Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday to provide help or answer questions.
Please remember to bring your textbook to the exam. Missing textbook lists are given to the office by 3pm the day of your exam.
Congratulations to the Great Caesar's Ghost team, winner of the 2008 CHW 3M Jeopardy Masters of the Universe contest. After a hard-fought game of cut-throat trivia play (in which no team correctly answered the final jeopardy question), Great Caesar's Ghost came out on top with 17 points. Tying for second place were Hatshepsut's Hammer and The Spartan Warriors, each with a score of zero (ouch). An excellent game by all players, with (mostly) excellect, even Olympian, sportsmanship.
Great Caesar's Ghost will hold the trophy until the next world championship is held, which may not happen until 2010, given that Alex Trebek is leaving the country (and indeed the continent).
Well done all!
So with help from Mr. McAsh I finally figured out how to get the pictures from our trip to the ROM on to my blog! The answer? Get HIM to do it! Thanks Mr. McAsh!
While I didn't take many, the pictures are fun. Bus time on both the trip up to Toronto and back, and pictures of your minds' expanding while you explore the Egytian exhibit. Thanks again for a good day guys!

This is an empty chart you can use to plan out your study time. Print as many copies as you like. Remember, being organized in your exam preparation will help to significantly reduce your stress and improve your performance on test day.
This is the same exam review sheet you were given in class. Feel free to work on this at home to prepare for the exam. Next week you will receive a cheat sheet to transfer any terms or answers you are not sure of.
Here is a digital version of your final project. If you would like to use it to work at home, feel free. Please remember that you cannot take your bristol board or folder home (in case of loss or damage).
