Test/Large quiz is on Friday.
Earth Matters Text book pages: 102-103, 132-139
There will be two diagrams to label. There will be some short answer questions. There may be a T/F section where you have to back up your answer.
Understand the terminology and how to apply it.
Understand how glaciation is an agent of gradation.
Be able to describe why a crevasse forms.
Be able to differentiate between erosional and depositional landforms.
Know the following terminology:
Today in Geog 12 we reviewed the glaciation sheet and added some definitions to the diagram on the third page from Earth Matters text book p. 134. We then turned our attention back to river systems (specifically erosion and transportation)and took some notes and did some reading in Earth Matters to reinforce our learning from our notes. We read pp. 116-118 (up to Underground River Landscapes) to also help our understanding.
Here are a couple of diagrams to help you out with the processes:
We watched this video to help our understanding: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8EIoBao-UvI

Today we started our new unit on Canadian Identity. We did a major brainstorm on Canadian identity and what it means to be Canadian in small groups creating mind maps. From here we did some comparing of each others mind maps pulling out similarities and great ideas and then each student created their own mind map on Canadian identity pulling from the ideas around the room. We then compared these to our identity maps from earlier in the year. We came to some conclusions around Canadian identity and what influences identity including our vast geography. The idea that people in different parts of the country identify with different things, bringing our discussion to regionalism. We also discussed Canadian identity also being not American and how this affects us both historically and now.
Tuesday we will be working on our role play on government.
Geography 12
Students got field trip forms for our planned field trip to Rogers Pass. If you were away please come and pick one up.
We went over our Friday 5's. From here we reviewed some glacial depositional features: kames, eskers and drumlins. We discussed moulins and watched these two videos:

and did a review sheet on glaciation. ***Small test on glaciation on Friday
Tuesday we will discuss river systems a bit more and have some connections model presentations. We will also look at a topographic map of Rogers pass and where we are going on Thursday.
1. Define gradation.
Gradation refers to the processes that lead to the gradual leveling or smoothing of the Earth's surface over time through natural forces. It encompasses the mechanisms by which landforms are eroded, transported, and deposited, contributing to the overall shaping of the landscape.
2. What are the three key concepts associated with gradation?
Erosion, Transport, Deposition
3. What are some similarities or differences between alpine and continental glaciers?
Differences:
Location; Alpine glaciers are only found on mountain tops where as continental glaciers are only found at the earth's poles regardless of elevation. Size; Alpine glaciers are smaller compared to Continental glaciers.
Similarities:
Both move and cause erosion. Both change the landscape. Both developed in constantly cold temperatures below freezing.
4. Define cirque.
A cirque is a steep sided hollow or amphi-theater type depression that is the result of glacial erosion at the head of an alpine valley.
5. What are two glacial features formed by either erosion or deposition?
erosion - cirque, arete, horn, tarn, v,u shaped vallies
deposition - moraine, erratic (kame, esker but we haven't talked about this yet)

We finished up the government unit, did a bunch of review, including a review sheet. Students also read an article comparing the american and canadian systems of government and used a venn diagram to compare these. We played a review kahoot and submitted Senate questions. All in preparation for our test on Friday.
Geography 12:
We were out in the field all day collecting data at Bridge creek.

Test on Government and then if done students worked on their role play assignment.
Geog. 12
Friday 5, finished up glaciation notes (TEST coming up on glaciation this coming week) and then students went on the Terry Fox run/walk
Geog. 12
Monday - we went over Friday 5, spent time working on either the glaciation review sheet or connections model work. I did some review using some photos particularly talking about striations and moraines.
Tuesday we continued working on our glaciation sheets, we started to go over them as we reviewed some ideas and vocab. We did some notes and are in the process of finishing up glaciation. Please find the slides and videos below.
