Reminders for week of November 12

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tLyUnZp-1Hc• Passion Project is due December 2nd. Students have a rubric to refer to regarding criteria for the project.
• Science project - model - due November 25th. See below for more details.
• Students have written a one-page writing assignment in French about a memory -- using the 3rd person rather than the first person. The rough copy of thisassignment was due November 13th.
• Students have a crossword puzzle on the respiratory system due November 14th
• Spelling test - /ç/ on Friday
• A one-page math assignment is due on Friday


For our final project for Sciences Naturelles you will design a model of a body system (respiratory, circulatory, digestive, skeletal, nervous, excretory). The model must imitate how the system works.

In addition to making the system model, you will draw out or print-out and label a diagram of the body system that you chose. See Madame if you need help with this.

Do you like to write, or would you prefer to talk? You will write a one-paragraph description or film/record yourself explaining how the model works.

Students have age-appropriate readings in their Sciences Naturelles dutoangs that explain the systems well. Students are encouraged to re-read these readings and to use the information from these readings in their paragraphs.  

Here's a checklist for the project:
·       My model shows how the body system works (4 marks)
·       I handed in a drawing of the system, and I labeled it. I also included a list of material necessary for building the model.   (4 marks)
·       I described (either in 1 paragraph or through me filmed) how my model works and how it ressembles the human system.    (4 marks)
·       My name is somewhere on the project.
