We finished watching "Whale Rider" in class, and then we went through the film study questions together as a class. I went over some questions and concerns that you had about the Illustrated Concept Map Assignment and specific questions about the written description that should go along with the concept map. Tomorrow, we'll be talking a bit about media transnationals.
Upcoming Important Dates for Social 10 Students:
- Illustrated Concept Map Assignment is due tomorrow (February 20th)
- Chapter 1-2 Quiz is on February 22nd (here is the study guide)

but i dont know what it means by: Sports nutrition: Nutrition science & the Olympics. (1998).

That part is the title of the article. You would just substitute that part out with the name of the image (if it doesn't have one, give it one). You would also have to update the date and the URL, but other than that you should be able to understand it now, yes?
so for example,
Computer: Retrieved Febuary 20, 2008 from the Interenet: http://futureshop.com
like that?

More like:
Computer (2008). Retrieved February 20, 2008 from the Internet: http://www.futureshop.com
even if the computer picture was uploaded on the internet long before 2008?

Insert the year that the image was uploaded, if you can. I put 2008 as an example.
Mr.G, do we have to hand in rough draft of the concept map, rough draft of the written description, and the group brainstorming? (it was on the check list, so i was wondering if we needed those...)
Hey mr.g
i noticed that on the agenda it had the year the image was put on the interent for the bibliography.
but what if we dont know the year?

No, you don't have to hand those things in. You just needed to do them.

-----------------------
Make it up. I'm honestly not checking to see if you accurately found out what year every single image was uploaded. I'm checking to see if you're using the correct format in your citation list.
Hey Mr.g
i was wondering... is the test on friday going to be multiple choice?
