Answers to Friday 5: April 19th

 1.  Describe one social or political change of the 1920's.

-growing women's rights (work, vote), mass production, buying on credit, urbanization, consumerism, increased Canadian autonomy, prohibition 

2.  What was OBU?

-One Big Union - formation of several labour unions in the West, wanted to unite labour to increase their voice, if you strike we will support your strike - wanted Canada wide strike on June 1st

3.  What is meant by a "general strike"?

-when all or most of the workers walk off the job, in the form of a strike

4.  Explain why many people thought the labour movement was connected to Communism?

-some similar ideals working for better rights of the worker, fear of an uprising similar to Communist revolution in Russia in 1917 = fresh in people's minds

5.  One cause and one consequence of the Winnipeg General Strike:

Causes -  (Economic hardship) poor working conditions, poor wages, lack of jobs for soldiers returning from war (unemployment), inflation. (Labour movement gained strength) increasing numbers joining unions and demanding better collectively

Consequences:  Winnipeg ground to a halt as many walked out of their jobs, many lost their jobs, The Federal government feared the strike would spread and lead to an eventual revolution (like in Russia) they arrested several strike leaders and sent in the RNWMP who clashed with the strikers causing several injuries and 3 deaths.  Eventually workers gained things like minimum wage, better working conditions, cap on hours per day worked.  It created new political parties and very much exposed the class divide in our country at the time.

The Grade 10 Literacy Assessment is a provincial assessment that assesses student proficiency in literacy. It is a graduation requirement and students take the assessment in their Grade 10 year.

The Grade 10 Literacy Assessment assesses student ability to use critical thinking and analysis to make meaning from a diverse array of texts. It also assesses the ability of students to communicate their ideas. The Grade 10 Literacy Assessment is not based on a particular course, but on learning across multiple subjects, from kindergarten to Grade 10.

Part 3:  Note Taking

Go back to your annotated bibliography and begin your actual in-depth research.  Working through one sources at a time, paraphrase the most important and most relevant information onto note cards, or note sections.  Use only one topic/idea per index card/ piece of paper.  Each idea/topic that you have on your outline will then have a card of information from each source.  Always record the number of the source that you used (from annotated) and the page references from the source to help ou later with footnotes.  (quotes).  Dividing each source into main topics will really help you  when you get to the actual writing phase.  Use quotes sparingly, for statistics or something that  is said so well that you need to use it, or comments that can most effectively be made by the speaker.  If you organize your notes in this manner your essay will essentially write itself!!!

Part 4: Creating outline and thesis statement

--thesis statement - The goal of a thesis statement is to let your reader know what your paper or essay is about (the central topic/idea). It will highlight and include your argument. -why is a thesis statement needed? It’s a guide to keep you focussed in your paper and it tells the reader what your paper is about. -write your supporting arguments first (into your outline, with quotes) -then write your paragraph that refutes your argument

Create an outline:

Intro:  with thesis

Body 1:  main idea, supporting ideas in point form, quotes

Body 2:  as above

Body 3:  as above

Refute:  main
