Geog. 12 Nov. 14

 Today we had the first Friday 5 of Term 2.  From here we went over and corrected our Gradation tests.  We finished up doing question 7 on p. 25 and defining:  core, mantle, crust, sial, sima and aesthenosphere.

SS 10, Nov. 14

Today in SS10 we had the first Friday 5 of Term 2.  We finished our review of WWI on the board including PM Borden and the Treaty of Versailles.  We watched two videos on the Treaty of Versailles and made some notes about the headings below:

Treaty of Versailles:

-territory

-military

-economic

*Woodrow’s 14 points 

*League of Nations

Videos:

We also looked more specifically at the 14 points looking at this website and the following video:

Finally we answered the following questions and looked at p. 221:

• Who were the big 3 and what did they each want at the end of the war?
• What was Canada’s role at the Paris Peace conferences?
• Were the terms of the treaty of Versailles just and fair?
• How might the treaty led to further unrest?

SS10 Nov 13

 Today in the first half we talked about current events, particularly the budget and the crossing of the floor by a member of the conservative party.  From here we talked about our WWI mind maps and created a large mind map with many of our ideas also skimming the chapter in the text book.  We finished with some fill in the blank notes on the end of WWI.

In the second half I introduced part 2 of the issues project (see blog post) and worked on this as well as the redo of the cartoon analysis.  I spent time meeting with students about their part 1 mind maps (which were due today).

Geog 12 - Nov 13

 November 13th

In the first half today we talked about latitude and longitude.  We took some notes and then did a sheet working on essentially absolute location and grid location.  We also did a little map activity.

In the second half we talked about plate tectonics and the theory of continental drift.   We watched the following videos and took some more notes.  We finished the class by reading p. 47-49 and p. 21-25 and completed two diagrams, one being a map of the earth and the different plates and what those plates are doing (p. 49) and one on what is happening at a fault line.
