Oct. 3rd SS & Geog 12

 Geog 12:

We started the day with a Friday 5, then moved to continuing work on our river sheets.  After working on these for a bit we watched this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CDEj62HGNkk vid on River Systems.  We talked a bit about the Great Divide.  Then we finished with two more presentations on connections models.  Mataya presented on Forest Fires and Brooke on offshore wind turbines.  

*we decided to hold off on looking at tests until Monday

Soc 10:

We too decided to hold off on looking at tests until Monday.  Senate questions were handed back.  Then we started some background work for our projects....see below:

Then we did some work to prep for our projects on Ethical Dimensions and Historical Wrongs:
P. 16 & 17 in text
What are ethical dimensions or judgements?
Right/Wrong actions, who judges?
Were past actions right/ethical 
Judging whether past actions were justified, assigning historical responsibility, and attributing contemporary accountability.

Historical Wrongs
-what are they
-read pp. 42 - discuss and be ready to respond to Q 1 and 2 at bottom of page
-read p. 47 (including the voices), should Canadians talk about the victories of the past?  What about the blemishes of our past?  Why or why not.  
-How can these events contribute to Canadian identity?

Introduction of project and time in library to work on research notes.

Historical Wrongs Project:
-further research either the residential school apology or another government apology in Canadian history & create a short visual display including bibliography  (examples:  Ukrainian/Japanese/Italian internment, Komagata Maru, Chinese Head tax, Residential Schools, the St. Lewis)
1.  Notes  - create a solid set of written notes on your topic of choice, think 5W+H
2.  Visual display to communicate learning. (poster, power point, sway, photo collage etc...)
3.  Bibliography in Chicago style

-ensure you provide background info from both perspectives of the issue (for example:  Why the Canadian Govmt created Residential Schools and how Indigenous people felt about these schools --at the time).
-give time frame of initial issue, (ex. when Residential Schools started/ended)
