Social 10-1
We finished watching "Where the Spirit Lives" today. I also went through a PowerPoint presentation which should help you to avoid plagiarism in your Imperialism Research Projects. I have sent this presentation to you already. Your Imperialism Research Projects are due on Friday, October 23rd. It would be best to burn your project to a CD and hand that in on Friday. It would be best if you DIDN'T send the project by e-mail since my CBE e-mail account has less memory than your own CBE mail accounts.
I gave you interim report cards as well today. You don't have classes tomorrow because of Parent Teacher Interviews (1:30 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. and 5:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m.).

I gave you some notes today on totalitarianism (key features of totalitarianism) and notes that outline the unique features of communism and fascism and differences between these two ideologies. We then watched part of a A & E Biography of Adolf Hitler called "The Fatal Attraction of Adolf Hitler". During this video you were to take notes.

Should Britannica Online Encyclopedia be listed as an encyclopedia or website?
To clarify, for our imperialism project, we should have all non-common knowledge information cited with little numbers beside them--referring to another reference list, right? Should that reference list be in proper format? And what if we already have it sited in our actual list of references?
And for the references, in our agenda, the reference for books doesn't say to specify any page number, but you told us to in class. How would that work?
Thanks
Question about the timeline:
say that refugees from the Imperial country were expelled from it, and then went to the colonized country (before colonization). Should this go on the timeline?
is the project worth much? like wud it put down our mark by much if we did bad on it?

You can use that as an encyclopedia, or a website.

I'll answer your questions in order:
Yes, you must cite your sources of information (non-common knowledge as you put it). Even if you summarize, quote or paraphrase, it must be cited. You can put a number beside it (superscript the number) or do something like this: (Tapscott, 2004, p.49). If you use numbers, I would expect to see a slide with a list of numbers and a list of sources that you quoted from, using the format that I have above (Tapscott, 2004, p.49). Then for your works cited page (your bibliography) you would use the format that is in your agenda (no page numbers needed, unless it's an article in a magazine or periodical or such, and the agenda states that you need page numbers. Typically for books you don't need page numbers).

I don't understand this question. Be specific, tell me what country we're talking about, and what people. It will make things easier.

This project is the major project for Unit 2. It will be weighted the same as the Illustrated Concept Map from Unit 1.
Hopefully you've asked all of the questions that you needed to ask. The evening session of interviews will be starting at 5 p.m., so I won't be checking the blog for a few hours at least.

No.
Let me think about it....NO!

There's economic power and there's such a thing as political power. It would depend on what you are talking about.
would gaining land to make the colonizer more powerful be a motive of colonization?

Yes, it's the prestige factor.
How much detail do we go into for the timeline? i put 4 dates on each slide, is that okay?
and do we need to cite the source if we got it from clipart on powerpoint?
if we have pictures that we need to cite, can we just like have a picture citation slide, or do we need to number them and all that?

Sounds okay. As long as it's not too cluttered.
No.

------------------
An image citation slide would be fine. It's okay to split up your image references and your text-source references.

It's better to save it to a memory stick.
