SS10 Nov 13

 Today in the first half we talked about current events, particularly the budget and the crossing of the floor by a member of the conservative party.  From here we talked about our WWI mind maps and created a large mind map with many of our ideas also skimming the chapter in the text book.  We finished with some fill in the blank notes on the end of WWI.

In the second half I introduced part 2 of the issues project (see blog post) and worked on this as well as the redo of the cartoon analysis.  I spent time meeting with students about their part 1 mind maps (which were due today).

Geog 12 - Nov 13

 November 13th

In the first half today we talked about latitude and longitude.  We took some notes and then did a sheet working on essentially absolute location and grid location.  We also did a little map activity.

In the second half we talked about plate tectonics and the theory of continental drift.   We watched the following videos and took some more notes.  We finished the class by reading p. 47-49 and p. 21-25 and completed two diagrams, one being a map of the earth and the different plates and what those plates are doing (p. 49) and one on what is happening at a fault line.

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.

-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”
