Semester II

Hi Everybody and Welcome to Planning 10!

I am very excited to be teaching Planning this semester. I think it is a highly relevant course about Life and all that comes with it-self-discovery, career planning, finances, health, nutrition, healthy relationships and more. And best of all, it is going to be FUN! We will be doing a lot of in-class activities and assignments, as well as projects this semester.


How can you be successful? Your success in this course depends entirely on you and your ability to keep up with and hand in ALL assignments ON TIME!  There is really no reason why you can't be successful in this course, so be prepared each class, be on time, pay attention, USE YOUR TIME EFFECTIVELY, and make your due dates!

Remember, while this is a fairly fun course, it is a REQUIREMENT to graduate so put in your best effort.

For a list of topics we will be covering this semester, please refer to the course outline. If at anytime you have questions about assignments or concerns please don't hesitate to email me.

Please check this site regularly for information and reminders on assignments, projects, due dates, and  tests. I'll do my best to update this weekly!

See you in class! :)

Alchohol, Texting and Driving DO NOT MIX!

In class we learned about the dangers and consequences of drinking as a teenager, not to mention the increased risk of car accidents when alcohol and texting are added to the equation. Below I have posted the two videos that I showed in class in case you wish to watch them again. They are very powerful and 'drive' home a very serious and strong message (yes, pun intended).

Live Fast Die Young (Drinking & Driving)

If Lives Are In Your Hands (Texting & Driving)

DO NOT DRINK & DRIVE.

DO NOT TEXT & DRIVE.

DRIVE SAFELY

&

ARRIVE ALIVE.

BC Skills Careers Exploration

Skills BC Field Trip

Today is the day of our field trip to Abbotsford to Skills BC, an exhibition of the various trades programs available in BC! Here you will have the opportunity to explore the different displays, participate in some hands-on activities, ask questions and get a better idea of what is out there that might interest you someday!

Before you go (and even if you aren't able to attend), please do this skills Careers Exploration Activity and complete the "What Are You Made Of?" Response sheet.

If time permits, we will have class members share what trades they researched.This may give you a starting point at Skills BC as to which trades you may wish to look a little closer at.

Here is the link to the site we will be using:

Semester II- March 2016

Hi!!!

After a year off on maternity leave and a 3 year hiatus from teaching Planning 10, I'm baaack!!! :D Sorry for my late return in the semester, but better late than never as they say!

I am very excited to be teaching Planning again, as I feel it is such a relevant and interesting course that touches on so many real-life issues that students today are and will be facing!

I will try to get us into the computer lab or onto ipads as much as possible. Please visit this site for reminders and links to useful sites and resources.

See you in class :)

Week of June 11 - 15th

Hi Gr.10's,

I hope you enjoyed your 'Safeteen' presentations last Friday. I look forward to hearing about them from you on Monday. Now that we are done covering the Sex Ed portion of the course, this last week we will be looking at and discussing 'Healthy Relationships'. We will be doing a number of activities and covering topics such as:

• The Influence of Media on Teens and Sex
• Peer Pressure in Relationships
• Rights and Responsibilities While Being in a Relationship
• What Makes a Healthy Relationship? / What Makes a Relationship Unhealthy?
• Deal Makers and Deal Breakers 
• Dear Gabby Advice Column
• He Said...She Said Q&A Class
• Final Mystery Box Q&A Class
• Ms.Sundin's Little Gem's of Wisdom

This will be a fun and relaxed week with highly relevant discussion on important aspects of relationships.

Hopefully we'll get through this material in good time. If we have a few extra classes I would like to show 1-2 movies that highlight issues we've discussed this term. This depends of course on time.

Let me just take this opportunity to say I have really enjoyed teaching all of you this semester and wish you all the best in the future!

My Final Last Words: "Take care, make good choices, think for yourself, resist peer pressure, don't drink and drive, 'Say NO' to drugs, and 'Be Safe'!!!"

 I hope you've learned something in this class that you can take with you into your lives beyond class.

-Ms.Sundin :)
