I handed out the service hours proposals for those who had not already printed them themselves. It turns out that everyone needed one. We discussed in greater detail what is volunteer service for a charitable or non-profit organization versus free labour for a company. Service hour proposals are due by October 12.

We had some time to review our notes for the quiz.

We took the quiz.

Study your notes again for the retest.

You had time to work in your groups for your Grammar Fun project (due October 12).

Social Studies

more geography! We went over the Latitude and Climate worksheet and started going over 6-11. We'll finish that off next class.

Homework:

Finish 6-10 (Computing Distance) and the other side (Telling Time).


Please note, with computing distance, 1 degree of longitude has a different number of miles depending on the line of latitude the point we're interested is on. For example, question 1a) How many miles from point A to B? We look at where point A is (50 degrees N 0 degrees). The chart tells us that at 50 degrees N or S, one degree of longitude is 45 miles. Point B is at 50 degrees N 30 degrees E, so 45 x 30 = ???

Reminder: Tuesday's prayer leaders are Analisa and Tyson.
