The End of the Line Documentary

On Tuesday, we will watch a documentary that explores the exploitation of fish stocks, specifically cod and tuna in the East Coast of Canada. In class we will answer a few questions after we watch the video. As a short take away question to continue thinking about your involvement in this issue, I would like for you to answer the following question in a short paragraph. Attach your paragraph to the blog so other members of our class can view your response.

“If you look at it from just a personal perspective then maybe it is a personal sacrifice , but if you look at it from the big picture  you gotta take a cut in the Harvest. But you take that knowing it maybe gives you a better season 3, 4, 5 years from now. We don’t just want to catch salmon next year, we want to catch it 10, 20, 30 years from now.” – Matthew Moir

What is this symbol and why should you look for it on the fish you buy?

Family Photo Assignment

Bring in your family photos , as well as your paragraphs. We will be working on the religion assignment on Tuesday. In order to use the time wisely, it is best that you bring in all of your finished/unfinished work to continue working on it.

Oral Speeches Practice

Speeches

While you work towards finishing the rough copy of your speeches, and begin writing the good copy, take a look at this website. On it you will find sample speeches from students your age, this is a great tool to use to inspire you and to use for comparison. As we have discussed in class make sure as you write your speech that ;
1. Your hook is engaging, spontaneous and different from anything you've heard before
2. Your body paragraphs flow nicely from one to the next,
3. You speech sounds natural and authentic, do not write a speech that consists of just information. Find ways to break it up, make it sound like a real conversation between you and your audience members.
4. Edit/ peer edit, ask a person in your household to read over and listen to you say your speech orally. Often times you will find things that can be improved upon once read aloud.

Goodluck, and can't wait to hear them. Remember they are due February 16th.
