SOCIAL JUSTICE 

Pre-read for Monday
If the above link does not work, please let me know.

Your other homework includes doing a journal entry on an aboriginal issue. I handed out the article to some of you in class on Friday. For the rest of you, you can find the link in Thursday's blog post.

Remember that your skit is due on Tuesday, those of you whose partner was absent, I suggest you do your best to connect with them over the weekend.

Also, know that your journals will be due on the 29th of September.

Aaand lastly, I have marked your quizzes but in doing so, realized that I forgot to hand out a back side of it and thus you missed four other multiple choice questions. Expect those on Monday.
