Language+and+Art

When we first started school in September we learned about The relationship between Canada and the United states, and about the H1N1 virus that is now in Ontario and has killed hundreds of people. We also created Podcast on back to school. In our second month of school we learned about All the people that lost their jobs because the economy was falling apart, and about the Vancouver peace summit and the Dolly lama. In November we learned about the 2010 Olympics in Vancouver, and about the man from the famous french circus the circ de sol that went into space. To see my podcast click this link->
 * What we learned in language:**

I think in term one my strengths are I always follow given instructions to plan and organize work. I think my weaknesses are deciding if an idea and information is relevant for the purpose. My goal is to get a better mark in term two.

** What we learned in Art: ** In Art we have been doing Comics. So far we have done two comics one on our opinion of clear cutting forests and one on any topic we wanted. For the comic on clear cutting forests mine is about some loggers that where ordered to cut down trees on first nations land and the first nations are protesting and they wont get out of the way of the loggers so the head logger in command says they wont cut down the trees and they leave but he is think that they will come back tomorrow and cut the trees. So the next day they come and cut down the trees and when the first nations come back the next hour there forest is gone. To see the comic click this link->

In the second comic I did mine on kids being bullied and left out. In my comic there is a boy that is all alone and he has no friends so he asks some other kids if he can play with them. The kids say no and tell him he is ugly and he should go jump off a bridge. To see the comic click the link below [|Page_1.jpg]

I think my strengths in term one are following instructions and applying techniques. My weaknesses are communicating feelings and ideas. My goal for term two is to get a better mark.
