Our Unit Test will be Monday. Be sure you are ready to do a long question like Chapter 5 Review Exercise #7 from the text. You will work with given accounts, enter various transactions on T-Accounts, complete a Trial Balance, then an Income Statement, and finally the Equity Section of a Balance Sheet. Study well!

Mid-Term Reports - All Classes

All marks are now recorded for out mid-terms. If any work has not yet been received, a zero will be given to that item. I will still accept and mark late work without penalty, but I think we are all aware that when January arrives there will be no second chances for missed assignments. Please try to keep up with what work is given and we will not run the risk of zeros damaging your mark.

ACC10: Mid-Term marks include all assignments and tests for the first 3 units, but there is too much weight currently assigned to Unit 4 assignment ('Homework Check'). Since it is the only item for the Unit as marks are sent in, it alone accounts for 25% of the report card grade. This anomaly will work itself out as more items are turned in and the unit is completed.

SCI6A: All work from our first unit ('Matter and Reactions') is recorded and part of your mid-term mark. Keep diagrams and the test for Parent-Teacher interviews. We have started a new unit on 'Earthquakes and Volcanoes'.

HEA7A and 7B: All work from the first unit ('Entering the Teen Years') is included in the mid-term mark. The Unit Test is not. The inclusion of this test mark will happen as soon as all students have written it. Since Health runs year-long, this mid-term report covers only about 25% of our material for the year. Our new Unit is 'Your Health and Wellness'.


For all classes, monthly Markbooks will continue to be sent home with students. Parents, please let me know if you would like these emailed to you instead of being sent by hand.

Accounting 10, October 21st

Today we will complete any outstanding computer work since mid-term reports are coming out soon! You have the following computer assignments done or in the works: a WebQuest, Stock Market Data sheet, and 3 different spreadsheets (2.5, 3.4 and 4.5). If it is possible complete ALL these assignments today. More detailed instructions can be found on previous Accounting 10 blog entries.

When they are complete, you can do some bonus work related to the Economy. Pick any one story from the following links and write a brief report on it. Your report will include:

What is the story about?

Who are the main actors in it?

What is the possible effect (on whom, and what)?

Visit Macleans, CBC.ca, or the Globe and Mail.

Your report should be about a 1/2 page long, but take time in finding a story that interests you, that you can understand, and be sure that it relates to the Economy!

Do some research on the electric car movement in Canada and the US. Find the link below, read the article and take notes. You will write about whether you think electric cars will be popular soon. Is the technology ready to take over the market from gas-burning cars? Would you invest in a company that makes electric cars (like ZENN)?

Here's the link.
