Homework

Hi 8's,
I'd like you to check out the following  link for creating a fake facebook page. Use the information that you know so far and create one for Iqbal. Consider who would be "friended" and what they would say. Some people to consider would be: Craig Kielburger, the factory owner, other kids in the factory, his parents, a north American teenager...

Here's the link. We will be using it for some other projects in class too.

Iqbal Chapter 3

In your own words…
According to Iqbal, “The debt is never erased. It doesn’t matter how good you are.”

How do you think the other child slaves are feeling when Iqbal reveals this information? Do you think
Iqbal is right? Could this happen in Canada?

Tomorrow

Bring ear buds for class tomorrow so you can do some independent computer work. Also, if you didn't have the materials or a picture for art, bring those in as well too so that we can get going on the art. Gym clothes for the few of you who seem to forget;)
Let me know if you are having trouble with your google drive account. I can work on the logins tomorrow with you.

Changing subtraction of integers to addition... notes from class
