Today, I made sure that you understood the "political spectrum" during the French Revolution, and the revolutionary governments. I gave you two word search puzzles, which are due on Monday (if you missed today's class, please be sure that you get these puzzles from me on Monday, they are useful for review). The first 10 students on Monday that show me their completed word searches, with the answer to the puzzle's clue question written down will get a bonus homework check mark.

Someone told me about something funny to do with what we are learning about so here it is
Go to www.google.ca and then type in "french military victories", then press "I'm Feeling Lucky"
See what happens
another good one is to put in "failure" and do im feeling lucky.
for demographic characteristics, can we write about jobs and local industries?
Do you want our references to be on our brochure, or attached separately?
for the brochure, will you be marking the how well the brochure seems to "sell" the reason to an audience, or more of the information provided
is there a extra credit assignment for the timeline project?
By any chance Ottawa is part of the St. Lawrence Lowlands region??
I thought the due date for the extra credit was on the same due date as the rest of the brochure, but it says on the website that the due date is the week after. Which is right?
for the brochure references, do we have to do them in the proper format or can we just leave them as websites?
For our word searches do we come to you in tutorial or just the beginning of class??
I'll try to answer all of the questions:
1. Demographic characteristics wouldn't include jobs and local industries, that would go under economic characteristics.
2. References should be on the brochure, on the back page.
3. The rubric (marking guide) for the brochure assignment takes into consideration both what is presented and how it is presented.
4. There is no extra credit assignment for the timeline project.
5. Yes, Ottawa is in the St.Lawrence Lowlands region.
6. The extra credit assignment is due tomorrow (Monday) as well. I think I said that in class, but I may have mistyped it on the website.
7. All references must be cited using the method that is in your student agenda/handbook.
For Social 20 students: come see me at the beginning of class on Monday with your word searches.
How would you reference the pictures you used in the brochure?
Do you have to reference pictures you use, and if so, how do you reference them?
Yes, you have to reference them. The easiest way is to follow the method in the student handbook. The reference will end with something along the lines of website URL retrieved from the Internet on insert date here.
I'm having trouble finding any statistical graphs or tables on the Cordillera region (for the brochure in SS 10-2). If I can't find any, how will this affect my project mark? Do you have any sites that you would recommend looking at for this information?
Have you checked the Statistics Canada website?
I can't find any there either. =( What should I be searching for?
Statistics Canada doesn't seem to have population/demographic figures for specific regions, just provinces. Do you know where we could find population and demographic information tables or graphs for specific regions? (ex. Interior Plains)
yah and cordillera to!
Is there any possible way for me to come in during tutorial so I don't have to massacre in order to get bonus marks for the word searches?
can you give an example of how you would do an image reference? would it be like: Image retrieved February 26, 2006 from internet: (url goes here). most images dont really have an author, date, and title to them...
Please answer us, please
I'm in the 10-1 class and i was just wondering what the requirments for the extra assignment website are.
You wouldn't be able to find stats for your particular region. Just use the stats for provinces that are part of your region.
5:21: the way you are citing the image reference is okay. Do it that way.
Social 10-1: with regard to the website, it's probably too late to do it. The website is due tomorrow. The website is an expansion of the information that is in the brochure. You would need at least four pages on the website: an index page, and three more pages, all corresponding to the three characteristics.
