China’s “car-eating,” traffic-straddling elevated bus (TEB) is officially dead — Quartz Today, Brexit turns one year old and how time flies! While, the UK’s vote to leave the European Union and “take back control” was always going to be complicated, the issue has managed to become even more confusing over the past year. It’s still unclear what Brexit will ultimately mean and more divisions are emerging in the government since British prime minister Theresa May called a “snap general election” June 8 and lost her mandate. This hasn’t stopped negotiations between the UK and EU formally starting this week—even without a fully-functioning British government.

The Heroes Unit: Subunit 1 – Qualities of a Hero and the Heroic Journey – The... This is a mammoth of a blog post, so I am going to split it up into three parts for your viewing pleasure.This unit is on Heroes with three subunits – fictional heroes, modern day heroes and personal heroes.

The Heroes Unit: Subunit 2 – Modern Day Heroes – The Canswedian English Teacher Subunit 2: Modern day Heroes The purpose with this assignment is forcing students to get outside of their own backyards and hopefully get a little inspiration.

Become A Microfibers Movie Insider! In the fall of 2016, we wrote to you and asked you to support the production of an animated Story of Stuff Project video on plastic microfibers—the tiny bits of plastic released when clothing made from synthetic fabrics are washed. We were humbled and grateful at the immediate outpouring of donations, and now we are very excited to announce that the movie is almost here! Sign up to be the first to know when the microfibers movie is available! Working on this project has been a real eye opener for us. Our research for the video revealed that 52% of all fabric on Earth—from underwear to yoga pants—is made of synthetic (plastic) fibers. And the trend is towards more synthetic fabric, not less, which means more shedding of microfibers into the environment, more plastic in fish and, potentially, more plastic in us.

In its half year report in June, the group reported a 9 per cent rise in revenues, while profits rose around 11 per cent.

This is Me – Grade 7 Unit – The Canswedian English Teacher I was so lucky this year, in that my Grade 7s walked into my English class bright eyed and bushy tailed – ready to go. One boy put up his hand on the first day and declared, “I want to learn English, because I want to go to California.” From what I’ve been told, this is the middle-class Swedish dream. Helpful Tips For Cleaning Out Your Closet The realization that I had way too many clothes hit me the way it usually hits us: When we're running late for an appointment and all we can do is stand in our underwear in front of our closet and glare. The whole situation made no sense to me. I had more sweaters than a Gap mid-season sale, too many skirts to count, and there were so many shirts stuffed onto shelves that one literally tumbled out and plopped in a heap in front of my toes. And yet, nothing in there was doing it for me.
