Nov 4 Practicum Blog

1. ELL Social Studies 10
- We watched videos of Justin Trudeau's swearing-in ceremony.  I like how the teacher shows contemporary news to the class.
- I love how the in-class activity sheet had problems that were fun, in the sense that they had a few twists, but also keeping it not too complicated.  The class was about scales/map/atlas.

2. Apprenticeship and Workplace Math 11
- Interesting to see the other side of the spectrum.  The topics in this class are much different from Foundations/Pre-calc 11.
- Some students have certain disabilities.

3. Math 8 & 9 challengers during lunch
- Got to meet some of the brightest students in the school
- Worked on fun math problems with the students during lunch
- This will be something I will attend regularly in the future, hopefully can lead the discussion too.

4. Calculus 12
- Met the math department head, Mr. Madd
- He combines AP calc AB with the BC students and get the BC students to study material on their own sometimes.
- Even the regular Calculus 12 students are taught the same material.

5. Graphics
- David Thompson has a great collection of machinery for rendering images.
- Most are outdated but still serve as a fantastic learning tool.
