Today in 6A!

ENGLISH: Clash began with our Flash cards, minus the assistance of our word lists. Shortly thereafter, students were asked to identify some changes to sentences presented to them and justify why they made that choice. Students are now better able to identify their "why" then ever before.

RELIGION: As part of our Advent preparation, we examined the Advent wreath, its history and the meaning behind the 5 candles. This will be what is tested tomorrow.

SOCIAL STUDIES: Today's lesson examined the Vedic age of Indian history, which speaks about the Aryan people and their influences in this region. The lasting influence of the Indo-Aryans was their implementation of a robust and rigid Caste system. In tying this to our more modern influences, it is known that the Aryan traditions were hugely influential to the spread of Nazi-ism in Germany and Racism in America's South. The purposeful creation of rigid classes within society with the expressed intention of maintaining relational separation is an important legacy of this ancient people. Students were assigned questions 1-6 for homework.
