Term Assignments

We have completed many of the presentations, but have more presentation days on May 4, 7 and 8.

World Heritage Sites Presentation - Use the UNESCO World Heritage Sites website.  Choose TWO different World Heritage Sites from the list of sites.  The two sites cannot be in Canada, they must be from two different continents, and at least one of them must be a cultural site.  Students are to prepare a classroom presentation of 5 - 10 minutes to inform the rest of the class about the two sites they chose.  They should use the UNESCO World Heritage Sites webpage, and a second source of information for each of the World heritage Sites.  The presentations will take place in class over the next 10 days, from April 23 to May 8.  The selection of which students present on which day was made by random selection using a deck of cards.
