Journal entry 17, the five comments for on the Litspiration blogs, is due on Wednesday, November 21. Details on this assignment can be found on the term 2 Litspiration blog assignment sheet or the journal entries list, both found on the "docs" section of the Humanities homepage.

Northern Disaster

Projects due on Monday November 19th

For the last week and a half, students have been working on a project entitled "Northern Disaster." As an extension of their learning for our study of the Renaissance, students are exploring a possible change in worldview if 50% of the population in Canada died. Further information can be found in the "docs" section of our website.

Students are also starting on the term 2 free-reading challenge. Again, further information can be found in the "docs" section, in the 'Litspiration Blogs - Free Reading Challenge' section.

Thursday, November 1 - Free-reading Challenge Information

Tomorrow (November 2) is the deadline for the term 1 Litspiration Challenge. It should be submitted as follows:

1. At the minimum, you must have three book reviews and one litspiration challenge on your blog. These should be easy to find, not buried under a lot of other stuff. You can make them easy to find by creating separate pages for reviews and challenges. You can also use the "tags" feature to tag reviews and challenges so we can easily search them up.

2. After you have gone through the peer editing process on Friday and made any changes suggested by your peers (if necessary), you must post the BEST of your two new book reviews as journal entry 15 for detailed assessment and feedback.

**Proposals for the Northern Disaster project are due TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 6. You will have two periods on Monday to work on them. The timeline has been posted, check it out!
