Ce mois de février, nous avons célébré le Mois de l’histoire des Noirs sous le thème de 2022 « En février et en tout temps : Célébrons l’histoire des communautés noires aujourd’hui et tous les jours ».
En classe, nous avons mis l’accent sur la reconnaissance des contributions quotidiennes qu’apportent et qu'on apporté les Noirs américains.

Students are taking on the challenge of Socratic seminars in science. We have added a period where Science 9 and 10 students participate in a Socratic seminar on a chosen science topic related to the Science 9 and 10 curriculum. Socratic seminars are a type of collaborative intellectual dialogue built on an open-ended questioning technique. During the seminars, students practice concept-based conversation, questioning, and analytical thinking, similar to a style of discourse used in ancient Greece.
Our upcoming first seminar is in honour of Black History Month. Students will be exploring issues around the “Immortal Cells of Henrietta Lacks.” The original cells of a particular tissue culture cell line were taken from Henrietta Lacks 60 years ago without her consent. Issues to discuss involve cells taken without consent, tissue rights issues, racism, ethics, regulation of medical research, and ownership issues. Biology 11 students are learning about the x-linkage type of genetic inheritance pattern. They are exploring a case study focused on the pedigree of Queen Victoria. Hemophilia was the result of a trait from one gene located on the X chromosome. The students use a problem based learning approach to practice critical thinking and analysis of sections of the pedigree.
In Geography class, PSSP students are working on designing a sustainable house as small and functional as possible. They must use five energy saving tools or methods to make the home sustainable. They are working in groups. Two students came up with the idea to use Mindcraft Education to design it.
This is very creative and nice. |
