Apples to Apples

I purchased this game and played it with various family members over the holidays.

It's great! Lots of fun and a great vocabulary builder.

Thanks Jeff, for the suggestion.

Class materials from Stats Canada report

Stats Canada gave a report on immigration from the 2006 census today. There is some very useful material on this in the Globe and Mail online edition (www.theglobeandmail.com) that I'm going to have my students look at including the main article "Foreign-born population hits 75 year high" plus:

Internet Links:
*Interactive: The New Canadians - 13 stories from across the country
* In Pictures: One hundred years of immigration

Videos:
* The immigrant experience
* Immigrants in rural Canada (The sound quality isn't as good on this one. I'll probably just recommend the first one.)

There will a lot more material in tomorrow's media reports. If anyone finds anything particularly useful post a comment.

P.S. I was dissapointed to miss the ProD day. Any comments on the first month's experience would be appreciated.
