February

We are now well into the new year, and getting busier all the time. Next week Canada begins to play host to the world as the Olympics begin in B.C. The olympics can be atime of great personal achievement for athletes from around the world.

What stories do you think should be reported on as we watch the Olympics?
Who do you think should be competing? Do professional athletes have the right to compete for their country?
When so many are suffering in our own country should we be spending billions of dollars to host this sports spectacle?

February is also the month in which we celebrate the contributions and history of African Canadians.
Watch this video from the TDSB director Dr. Chris Spence:
Do you recognize any of the names he mentions? Who are some of the people you think should be celebrated this month?

As always, you need to make two posts this month and respond once to something posted by one of your class-mates.
