Geography 12: Nov. 27

 Today in the first half we started by talking about the field trip next week and the expectations.  We then talked about the hotspot/intraplate volcanism sheet to ensure understanding of the vocab and how these volcanoes are formed.

From here we went on to review hotspot volcanoes a bit more and then talked about some of the other major types of volcanoes, their lava type and how they affect human's (both pos/neg).  We ended with this video:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sd8cVCtIRO4

In the second half Mr. Robinson visited our class and talked about rocks, different types, their value and the relevance of Geology in our world.

We will have a test on Tuesday on plate tectonics, earthquakes, volcanoes, tsunamis and rocks/rock cycle.

Wednesday next week:  field trip to Nakusp hot springs, please bring in your field trip forms and cash.

Social Studies 10: Nov. 27

 We started the day with a seating change and homework check.  From here we worked on part 3 of our issues.  On Friday I will introduce part 4 (if you have done a good job on part 3, part 4 will be super quick and easy.  Part 3 and 4 will be due on Friday December 6th, then we move onto the writing phase.

In the second half we started by talking about the Canadian economy in the 1920's and Canada's increased reliance on the US as a trading partner.  We then reviewed Canadian Autonomy and the timeline you did for homework.  We took notes on the King-Byng crisis and Balfour Report/Statute of Westminster.  We then the some partner work to answer the question:  Of all the events that made Canada more independent, which had the greatest impact on Canadian autonomy?  (this is an excellent test question!!).   We did a bit more partner work on the changing role of women and then finished up with watching two short videos on the Person's case.  While watching the videos we were writing down in a T chart:  continuity (what stayed the same for women at this time and change for women at this time.  

Here are the videos we watched.
