Last year, Wikipedia an other sites shut down in protest of SOPA/PIPA, an anti-online piracy bill in the US. In Canada, we have Bill C-11 and Bill C-32 which is similar in scope and focus. Let's learn a bit more about these bills and what they mean to us.

Read the following articles:
Watch at least one of the following videos/presentations:
Once you've read and watched and learned a bit, write a 300-400 (1-2 pages single spaced) reflection on anti-online piracy bills, addressing some if not all of the following questions:

Grade 12 (second year in this class): Goal-Setting and Course-Shaping

With the understanding that you are a mature group of musicians who have chosen this credit with specific goals in mind, I'd like you to share those with me. Write a 300-400 (1-2 pages single spaced) reflection addressing some if not all of the following questions:
  • Why did you choose to take AMM this year?
  • What are some of the major things you learned/accomplished in AMM last year?
  • What are some of your goals for AMM this year?
  • What kinds of assignments would be most useful to you? (or, not useful)
  • Any other thoughts you'd like to share about the class and the vision you have for it.
FOR ALL GRADES: Email your completed reflection on or before Wednesday, February 4 to lauren.simmons@tdsb.on.ca
