2nd Lesson...
"Students, Please copy down this note carefully, as you will have a bit of homework about it!!" said Headmistress Johnson as she began to write a note for the students to copy on the blackboard in her perfect penmanship.
Occupying the northern half of the North American continent, Canada has a land mass of 9 970 610 km2, making it the second-largest country in the world after Russia. From east to west, Canada encompasses six time zones.
Because of the harsh northern climate, only 12 percent of the land is suitable for agriculture. Thus, most of the population of 30 million live within a few hundred kilometres of the southern border, where the climate is milder, in a long thin band stretching between the Atlantic and the Pacific oceans.
"Once you've finished that please copy down your short homework assignment! Once you have finished your homework, please place it on my desk (pm it to me) for me to mark!!"
Homework:
1) How much of Canada's land is able to be used for agriculture?
2) Where in North America is Canada?
3) What is Canada's approximate population?
4) Where do most of the Canadian population live?
5) What two bodies of water does this band of people divide?
6) How many timezones is Canada divided into?
BONUS QUESTION:
7) Name the timezones!

Re: 2nd Lesson...
After awhile the Headmistress stood up and glared at her students. She was not fond of being cross, yet it seemed to be in order.
"I'm VERY disappointed that NO ONE! has handed in their homework! How do you suppose you will EVER pass this course if you don't attend classes and DO your homework??" she told them sharply, yet then changed her tone very suddenly, "What's wrong with my classes?? Are they boring or do you just want to me to get very frustrated with you?? If it's boring, then what would you like to learn/do in this class?? Don't be scared to tell me!!"
