Dictatorship: a government strategy where one powerful person or party has full control over the whole population.  An example of this is North Korea

Oligarchy: a government strategy where powerful rich people have the majority of say over the whole population.  Examples of oligarchies can be found in Russia.

Democracy: a government strategy where the general population (usually adults) vote on which political party they wish to control the country.  Canada is an example of a democracy.

Consensus: this is where a population would have to agree on any and all issues that impact the entire group.  A process could not move forward without agreement from all.  An example of this is restorative justice circles.

Please remember that you will need your band instruments tomorrow!!

Please make note of the two notices that came home today:
1) Meet and Greet
2) Cedar Grove Newsletter

Vancouver Field Trip (Wednesday, June 12th 2019): Please note the ferry change - We will be returning back to Gibsons on the 4:40pm from Horseshoe Bay.  In other words, at Langdale by 5:20pm.

 Welcome Back to Week 8!  That's right, only 8 weeks left of grade 7.

In Language Arts, we have started Literature Circles.  The first weekly summary is due on Wednesday, May 5th.  Please note that Character Attribute Outlines are due on Tuesday, May 11th.
