Hey guys, it may come as a surprise to some of you but although most of what we do in Humanities falls under the umbrella of social studies, the course itself is supposed to be both socials and english. This most recent project can attest to that. We were tasked with writing a persuasive text […]

Suprises Aren’t Always A Good Thing
I don’t know about the rest of you but this last week has been riddled with one surprise after another, some more welcome than others. For the last five weeks or so my class has been working on our first project of this year for Humanities which was to create a trailer for a podcast […]
The Likeness of Terms
Hey guys, for the last couple of weeks we’ve been working on a new project in scimatics that was centred around like terms and polynomials. This project was really open ended and allowed for a lot of freedom in what we would do for our product. What we had to do was make a driving […]
