The Social Studies Program at Bishop Whelan High School in Lachine, Quebec focuses on various aspects of critical research, reading and writing skills. We also attempt to integrate technology, co-operative learning, and presentation of projects and materials to foster a "community of students" working together to enhance their learning environment. Each Social Studies class is in the process of developing an On-Line Project that will allow students to build for the future, and give parents an opportunity to view their children's progress.
The purpose of our various projects is to allow students to use the internet to develop their projects as Subject Experts. These projects are intended to allow students to learn important research and computer skills they will require in our "technological society". The projects link students within our school, and eventually with schools around the province, country and world.
