 Today in Socials 10, Historical Wrongs projects marks were distributed as were your government simulation marks.  Students received their interim progress reports (if you are a parent checking in on the blog, please ask your student for their interim reports.

We finished up our political cartoon analysis and submitted these (mostly digitally).  Here are the instructions for this assignment:  This is due early next week.

-with a partner find a cartoon on either Kitchen Accord, Meech Lake Accord or Charlottetown Accord (you could also choose the Quebec referendums)

-go through the cartoon analysis sheet together and answer the Q’s (see below)

-submit when done, include a picture of your cartoon

Questons:

  • What is the title of the cartoon?
  • What is the caption of the cartoon?
  • Describe the people & objects in the cartoon?  (How are they portrayed?)
  • Describe what the symbols are present in the cartoon?
  • In your opinion what is the message of the cartoon?
  • Is there a bias?
From here we went on to do a review of WWI in partners...we are just in the process of creating a larger mind map as a group.




Geography 12: Oct. 24

 Today in Geography 12, students received their field studies and Friday 5's back.  We talked about both and some suggestions were made for some on how to improve Field Reports.  From here we reviewed Coastal Features, understood the difference between erosional and depositional features.  Discussed the matching sheet and understood what a tombolo is.  We than watched the following two short videos and did a short reading from the text book and answered a couple of questions.
