Socials 10: WWII MINI project

 Social Studies 10 WWII mini project

Goal:  To gain understanding on some aspect of WWII with regard to Canada & Canada's involvement in WWII.

TOPIC IDEAS:  WWII technology, Battles Canada was involved in, propaganda and it's role in war, Holocaust, battle tactics, causes and consequences of WWII, Women's roles in WWII, War on the home front (how Canada contributed), Famous Canadians of WWII, Indigenous roles in WWII, Home security, Human rights violations in WWII.  (other topics approved by teacher)

Part 1:  Pick a partner, a topic and come up with research question/literal question. (You can work solo if desired)

(A research/literal question is a question you know you will be able to find the answer to while researching)

Part 2:  research, take notes (handwritten) to avoid plagiarism, summarize ideas, collect bibliographic information.

Part 3:  create an evaluative question (see handout, you will receive this tomorrow).  Answer evaluative question 

(An evaluative question forces us to evaluate our information and research, it is an open ended question that you can answer from your information and research.  You are coming up with an opinion/judgement based on facts from your research.  Example:  Was WWI more similar or different than WWII?

Part 4:  Create a power point or poster board that has good visuals on your topic and present your information.  Try to say more with less and use photos/pictures to support.  Both your research question and evaluative question should be clear and answered in your project.

Part 5:  Create bibliography in Chicago style.

Part 6:  Come up with three questions you want the reader to focus in on and answer while looking at your project.  We will do a gallery walk and create a bit of notes from the questions you create on your project.

You will only have two blocks to get this together so divide and conquer with your partner.  YOU DO NOT HAVE TIME TO WAISTE, THESE ARE DUE ON FRIDAY next week.  This is enough time providing you use your time well.

Block 1:  come up with research question and do your research, take notes.

Block 2:  put together your info into slides, come up with evaluative question & answers, bibliography.

Jan. 5th - SS10 & Geog 12

 Geography 12

Students had atmospheric circulation and layers of the atmosphere assignments returned.  Students saw their current grades.  I marked rocks quiz but because several people did very poorly I didn't return them yet and will give anyone an opportunity to rewrite on Tuesday (tomorrow) at lunch.

We talked about dew point, humidity and relative humidity today.  We watched a couple of videos to help understand the difference between relative humidity and dew point (see below) and talked about station models, what they are and who would access these.  Then students worked on a review sheet that went with a reading from pages 62-70 in Geography (old text) which is due tomorrow

.  Here are the videos and station model data info.

Geog & SS10 Answers to Friday 5: Dec. 12

 Socials 10

1.  Who were the famous 5 and what did they achieve?

The famous five were a group of women committed to championing women's rights around voting, being in government and specifically got women added to the definition of "persons under the law".

2.  What is a branch plant?

A branch plant is a factory or industrial operation owned and operated by a foreign investor.  A branch company would be like a Starbucks or Wallmart.

3.  What three things did the Canadian government put in place to try to assimilate Indigenous people?

Residential Schools, Reserves & the Indian Act

4.  Of all the things that showed progress for Canadians's int he 1920's, which had the greatest impact?

Just need to back up your answer.

5.  What did the Statute of Westminster Achieve?

It gave all countries that were colonies of Britain independence in government, economic issues and foreign policy.  Officially forms the Commonwealth.

Geography 12

1.  What are isobars and relate these to pressure gradient.

Isobars measure areas of equal pressure on a map.  When isobars are closer together the pressure gradient is steeper and therefore it is windier.

2.  What are the 5 layers of the atmosphere from Earth to Space.

troposphere, stratosphere, mesosphere, thermosphere, exosphere

3.  Low pressure cells move in which direction in the Northern Hemisphere?  Clockwise or counterclockwise.  What type of weather does a low pressure bring?

Low pressure cells move wind in a counterclockwise direction in the Northern Hemisphere.  Low pressure cells bring poor weather and precipitation.

4.  As you go up in elevation, what happens to air pressure?

Air pressure goes down

5.  Explain the basic premise of air circulation as demonstrated by the tri-cell model.

Due to uneven heating of the Earth's surface and the rotation of the earth (coriolis effect) this tri-cell model shows how heat is redistributed.  The hadley cells move warm air towards the poles and vice versa.  This in turn accounts for the climactic zones and earth's general wind and pressure zones.

Bonus:  In the tri-cell model, what are the three cell names?

hadley, ferrel, polar
