Another busy year for our music/drama programs. Congrats to all actors, chorus members and stage crews involved in our spring productions, Get Hoppin! and Porridge!. You were all amazing. Special congratulations go out to our grade 8 guitar group. I hope you all keep playing at JMH! Have a great summer and rest up for another busy school year!!!

It's time for grade 8 students to present their project on Extreme Sports. This is an oral presentation. Evaluation will  be based on the the ability to communicate the following;The name of your chosen sport; explain why it is "extreme" ; the equipment needed to do the sport; a brief explanation on how to do the sport; the dangers associated with this sport; the health benefits gained from thsi sport; as well as stating the type of personality one would need to do this sport. The images placed on the smartboard screen should present a story board to help guide you through the presentation. Select nice clear images, add some text , and put some color in the background to create a nice visual. Bonne Chance!!

Reminder we have moved our after school practice to Monday, Nov. 25th for this coming week only since a few of you are not going to make the Wed. practice.

We are currently working on a newspaper article describing popular clothing from an assigned decade. By now you should have a title and the introduction complete. The intro should have two questions and a comment based on these questions. A lead in phrase setting up the second paragraph should follow. For the next week we will work on the second and third paragraph where you will describe clothing items in detail. ( ie.   Platform shoes, mini skirts, disco style suits, high heel shoes, etc.)

Please remember to interview either a parent, grandparent, family friend etc. and ask them what type of clothing, footwear, jackets/coats, hair styles and accessories were popular when they were your age. You can classify clothing under headings. Clothing for School; Clothing worn at home; Clothing for weekends; and Clothing for playing sports. Make a short list and be ready to share your findings with us on Monday.
