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.

Socials 10: Literacy Exam Prep

 1.  Literacy exam prep, see slides and example on govmt website below:

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.

Socials 10: Issues Project part 3 & 4

Socials 10:  Issues Project continued….

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

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DFp1uGTXo4Q

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

Socials 10 - Issues part 2: Annotated Bibliography

Part 2:  Search for Sources & Preparing an Annotated Bibliography 

 

This is a research essay.  Your opinion (thesis) must be supported with evidence.  Thus you must consult CREDIBLE, ACCURATE & RELIABLE sources of information such as:  online newspapers, interviews, websites, documentaries, books etc…  We will use two blocks to begin your search and compile your annotated bibliography.  I WILL TEACH YOU HOW TO create an annotated bibliography!   

- document each source according to Chicago Style.  You will then  

-skim through the source and write down (annotate) information which will be helpful to you.  For example: note the maps, images, quotes, chapters, drawings etc., included in source.   

-include the biases, topics addressed, quality of the source.   

These notes are to save YOU time in your research so make notes that will help you be most efficient.  They act as a reminder of what is in that source when/if you consult it again.  You must annotate a minimum of 5 sources.

Stage 2:  Creating your annotated bibliography

What is an annotated bibliography?

An annotated bibliography is a 50-150 word summary of what is in your source.  You will be critically examining and evaluating the source.  Explain why and how this source is important to your research.  Is there a bias?  Is the author credible?  Who was the intended audience?

An annotated bibliography includes three things:

-a number (for organizational purposes)

-your documented source in Chicago style

-a summary of the information found in that source.  Part of the summary will be an assessment of its value to your overall paper.  It may include good graphs or tables, so you will say this.

**these notes are to help you save time in your research so make notes that will help you be most efficient

***PURPOSE of annotated bibliography is to act as a reminder of what is in that source when/if you consult it again.

****You must annotate a minimum of 5 sources

Start with finding scholarly articles from BC Digital Classroom found https://focusedresources.ca/en/digital-classroom-access

Here is an example:

Topic:  Tans-mountain pipeline

#1

Mahor, Stephen, “Memo to Alberta:  Get a grip,” April 22, 2018, 5.

-favours hearing BC concerns -opinion piece – very biased, maybe use for ideas for against building but need more info or not useful -long term favours Alberta but hard to see economic gains for BC in long term -BC gets increased tanker traffic and high chance of bituman spill that BC will then need to clean up -(blames) US environmental lobby against Keystone XL -Trudeau will back pipeline with federal money esp since failure of other pipelines to move Alberta oil -talks of history of Fed gov funding energy and oil projects -transfer payments -reference to Chris Turner “The Patch”

Socials 10 Issues paper - part 1 - Due Friday April 5th

 Social Studies 10:  Issues Paper 

 You are being provided with an opportunity to gather evidence and present a well-reasoned argument about a controversial issue.  (Pretty wide open as to topic, it just needs to be framed in a school appropriate manner and tie back to Canada). Who doesn’t like to present a winning argument?  This paper will actually provide you with the skills to be a more convincing and credible individual!   

 

What is an Issues Paper? 

 

The Issues Paper is really an argumentative essay. 

An argumentative research paper is a combination of a traditional research paper and a persuasive essay.  An argumentative paper makes a claim (thesis) about a topic and justifies this claim with specific evidence.  The claim could be an opinion, a policy, a proposal, an evaluation, a cause and effect statement, or an interpretation.  The goal of the argumentative paper is to convince the audience that the claim is true based on the evidence provided. 

Some important things the paper will include: 

1. 5-8 page (1000-1500 words) double spaced argumentative research paper with a Title Page, Bibliography, Footnotes (or Endnotes) all in Chicago Documentation style. 

2. Minimum of 5 sources.  Some sources will provide you with great quotes to support your argument!

3. Present at least three pieces of evidence but no more than five to support your claims. 

4. Paper Structure:  Title, introduction, a clear argumentative thesis statement, body paragraphs with support (refute) and a conclusion. 

5. Please do not plagiarize.  Plagiarism is academic theft and will result in an F and could cause you not to pass Socials 10! 

 

This project will be completed in stages and I will support you along the way.  And give you clear completion goals and timelines. 

 

Stage 1:  Selecting a Topic & Find a podcast to help you!!!

 

While a strong interest in the topic is important, it is not enough to just be interested.  You have to consider what position you can backup with reasoning and evidence.  It’s one thing to have a strong belief, but when shaping an argument you will have to explain why your belief is reasonable and logical.  As you explore potential topics, make a mental list of points you could use as evidence for or against the issue. 

You must hand in: 

-selected two topics and create a rough web of your ideas of major points on either side of the issue.  Identify what the issue is and briefly outline each side.  This will include the major stake holders involved.  A stakeholder is a person, group or organization that has an interest or concern in/with the issue.  You should have the major stakeholders identified on each side of the issue.
