Today we read a newspaper article about frog species disappearing around the globe (see the link at the right). Then students read pages 8-10 in their textbooks and began creating a concept map about the disappearance of frogs. This is due on Monday. We then watched 20 minutes of "Planet Earth". Please bring in any forms, student fees, or learning styles profiles that are still due from some of you.
You should print the article at the right called "Extinction of Species".
Have a great weekend!!!

Today we reviewed ecological terms and completed the ecology diagnostic quiz. We will finish taking up the quiz tomorrow. No homework, but don't forget to bring in your signed documents and student fee tomorrow. Some of you also need to hand in your learning styles profile.

Today we finished the learning styles questionaire in the library. If you did not hand yours in (with a summary of strategies that will work for you), then this is homework and must be handed in tomorrow.
Don't forget to get any necessary paperwork signed and your student fee ($60 with yearbook, or $35 without) brought in tomorrow.
You may want to print off the 2 notes posted at the side under "Ecology Notes".

Ecology Diagnostic Quiz

Click here to print off a copy of the ecology diagnostic quiz. Diagnostic quizes DO NOT count for marks. They merely indicate to you and your teacher what you already know and what you need to learn more about in a new unit.

Tuesday September 2, 2008

Today students received their locker assigments, student information forms, agendas and timetables. The code of conduct was reviewed. SNC2P was discussed, classroom expectations were reviewed. Students then completed a learning style questionaire.
Students are expected to use the results from the questionaire to evaluate their own learning style and prepare a list of learning strategies to help them be more successful in this course.
The Ecology unit will begin tomorrow.
The Course Information sheet for SNC2P can be downloaded here.
The learning styles questionaire can be found at http://www.engr.ncsu.edu/learningstyles/ilsweb.html.
A description of the various learning styles can be found here.
