=Global Teenager Project= Our group is participating in the Agriculture - How do We Grow Our Food Global Teenager Project Communication Based Learning Circle. Parents and students can view the wikispace learning circle at []. Students have just been divided into groups of 2 to 3 students and each group has been given the questions they are to research and later post their answers on the wikispace. Students (groups) will have class time to research and discuss their questions and develop their responses / answers; however, some additional research may be necessary on thier own time (either at home or at lunch break if a computer is not available at home). Here are all the questions and each group has been given a particular set of questions to research.

As of Thursday, Nov 12, students have completed their research for their questions. Students are now in the process of composing their answers to be posted on the learning circle wikispace next week. Students are encouraged to take agricultural photos in their community this weekend and bring in digital copies of their photos (flashdrive). Students can also email their photos to my email address - corinne.jessome@nbed.nb.ca. The photos will be included in their answers and posted together to the wikispace. All posting will be done from school and the deadline is Nov 14. Parents are encouraged once again to check out the learning circle wikispace at []

**Summary of Answers to Our Questions -** **Week of Monday, Nov 23 to Friday, Nov 27** - Students will now summarize all of the answers posted by other schools to the question we posed. Our question related to pesticide use in agriculture. All students will individually summarize all 7 answers and then discuss and develop a common summary for each answer. The common summaries will be posted on the Learning Circle Wiki by **Friday, Nov 27**. All students were given a handout with all the answers that were posted (cut from the wiki and pasted into a Word document) in order to complete the summaries.

As well, any student who miss places their handout can always go to the wikispace and view the answers. Learning Circle Wikispace: [] = = =Introduction to Culture Test Review Sheet=
