Ms. Toteda’s Grade 9 English classes were asked to read and review non-fiction books from the secondary library. Students chose books on topics that interested them ranging from astro-physics to cooking! Here are a few reviews that might pique your interest in a non-fiction read!
A Brief History of Time Review
Ms. Pershin’s Social Studies 9 students embarked on a research project about environmental issues impacting our world.

As Term 1 came to a close, Ms. Toteda’s English 12 students had the opportunity to critically analyze fairy tales, fables and/or films in a choice project. Many students choose to analyze one of their favourite fantasy/superhero films. What resulted was wonderfully crafted, in-depth film reviews where students showcased their understanding of the visual messages in film by incorporating concepts of mise en scene (décor, lighting, colour, space). Furthermore, students were asked to communicate how do these visual messages construct society’s understanding of goodness and/or heroism? Take a look and enjoy some of our video submissions! Perhaps you will see your own favourite film in a totally new light?
