Broadcast Journalism:- Students will build a graph, timeline or chart that explains the evolution of news. Begin with the earliest forms of news and chart the timeline to changes along with technology and media outlets. Essentially you are charting how news began and all the avenues it developed in.  History 112- Look at an event around the world, a revolution happening as identify these specific areas. Teacher will give students a chart. Look for one example around the world, and identify the 4 areas of a revolution. We will then compare a modern revolution to the French Revolution. Please use other credible websites to support your answer. http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/interactive/2011/mar/22/middle-east-prot...   Law 120- Influences on Canadian Law - students will discuss law cases and the result of those cases based on pass law practices. We will develop rules to govern our class and build a class constitution. Students will divide up into groups- they will then draft rules and consequences.  Then a representative from each group will go to another group and discuss their rules. They need to follow the amendment formula for changing the constitution. We will draft rules to govern: Marking- Quizzes/ Tests/ Homework/ Projects/ Case studies/ Presentations/ Final exam Class Participation (Classmarks)- Discussion/Note-taking/Computer use/work ethic Course work- What should the course look like? What do you want to know? Responsibility of the teacher and student.- What about late work? Incomplete work? Classroom environment- Speaking and listening/ respectfulness/ socratic circles/ groupwork The students will then make an argument for each of the sections and rules will be drafted.
