I gave you class time to work on a worksheet called "Basic Canadian Geographical Information". Here are some hyperlinks to help you finish those last few questions:
- CIA World Factbook: Canada (useful for questions 24, 25, 26, 27)
- Welcome to Baker Lake (you might have to read a bit to figure out how this website helps)
- Canada InfoLink (you might have to look a bit, but this site should have answers to any other questions that might have, scroll down the page to "Geography" to find useful links)
This worksheet is due tomorrow. Please make sure that you have printed off the Regionalism package that I sent out to on Sunday night. Please follow the printing instructions that are included in that e-mail message (you don't have to print off the two map pages). You will NEED this booklet for the next couple of weeks in my class, so print it off and bring it to class everyday.

We went over the Enlightenment Thinkers Chart for the first part of class today. It seems like most of you have a pretty good grasp of the ideas of the philosophes. You will have a quiz on the following Enlightenment Thinkers next Monday (September 18):
- Voltaire
- Rousseau
- Locke
- Montesquieu
- Quesnay
- Smith
If I could give you one piece of advice for this quiz (it's a matching style quiz) it would be this: know their ideas about the nature of human beings, know their main ideas, and know what books they wrote (even ones that I didn't mention in the PowerPoint presentation...in other words check the textbook).
I have sent you a couple of e-mail messages. The first one is a Document Based Analysis (DBA) Assignment. Please print this off and bring it to class tomorrow. I will discuss how to approach this assignment.
I also sent you today's presentation/lecture, "France: A Setting for Revolution". Please print this presentation off and put it into your notes.
I would like you to read the following pages in Century of Change prior to tomorrow's class:
- p.20-22 which covers the reign of Louis XIV and Louis XV
- on p. 26 start reading from "Economic Conditions Leading up to 1789" to p.29 (stop at the heading "National Assembly")
Notice to all Social 10 and Social 20 Students:
There seems to be a lot of problems with your CBE Student e-mail accounts today. My priority tonight is to make sure that all Social 10-1 students receive their Regionalism booklets. If you are a Social 10-1 student, and still haven't been able to open the PDF file or even the Word version of the Regionalism package, please send me an e-mail from a Yahoo or Hotmail account (or any other e-mail system other CBE) and I will send it to you. You really NEED that package tonight for tomorrow's class.
For Social 20-3 and Social 20-4 students, I know that you'd like to have the DBA and the PowerPoint presentations tonight, but it isn't as pressing as the Social 10 students, so we'll sort these problems out tomorrow.
Tomorrow in class I'm going to be sending around another e-mail list, and I'll be asking for your Yahoo or Hotmail or Gmail account addresses. I just can't trust the CBE mail server completely, it's been a bit unreliable tonight. I can't spend this much time online during my evenings when I can be spending "quality time" with my son.

hey,
i recieved the email that you sent regarding the regionalism package. i click on the attachment and a page comes up that is saying the page can not be viewed. i have adobe so i don't know what i should do.
I can't recieve both emails you sent me because it says that the connection with the server was reset. I don't know if this is the case for everyone but you you could resend it to me possibly, that would be great. I believe it has something to do with time when you sent it and the cbemail server.
Thanks

I can't seem to open the two emails you sent to us tonight, it says that the conection with the server was reset and it can't download from cbemail. I believe it has something to do with cbemail and when you sent it and not your email or my computer. I was wondering if you could possibly send it again to me to see if that would work, or if i could just photocopy a hard copy of yours tomorrow if that doesn't work.
Thanks

So i got my mom to login at her computer at work to try and download the social emails (the word doc and powerpoint presentation) and both her and i found that we could download the second doc. of the DBA #1 email but we both could open or download the powerpoint presentation so it can't be our computers so that means it has something to do with the cbemail site i believe. Therefore i don't believe anybody will be able to download it. The best solution i think would be for you to re-email the presentation to everyone, and if that doesn't work then, i'm not to sure where to go from there.
Thanks,

I can't find the answers to question 24 (urban population) in the CIA World Factbook. Can you help me?
Thanks,

I've sent out the Regionalism package again to all Social 10-1 students, so hopefully it got through this time.
I've also sent out today's presentation and the DBA assignment to both Social 20-3 and Social 20-4 again.
Please let me know if the problems persist.

Personally, i believe the method used in class last year with hotmail accounts was better. It had no problems, and was easier to get information from.

That's a new problem. Here's what I've been doing tonight. People have been sending me e-mails from Yahoo, Hotmail or Gmail accounts and I've been responded back to those accounts. Please do this, and I'll send the package out to you again.
I'm having problems with the package too(something about the connection to server being reset); I think using hotmail or gmail might be better. MK Social 10-1

Did you open up the second hyperlink?
i noticed that a lot of people are having troubles with priting out the prestentation from today as well as the project outline. (20-4) i am in the class and i had no problems openeing the second e mail that you send out, though i did not try the first one. Just thought i'd let you know that it worked for some of us.
Does anyone know what province is most and least urbanized (# 8)?
Thanks
Is the Baker Lake place the geographical center?
Both emails worked for me, which was good. I had no problems in opening any of the attachments.
I think the hotmail thing might be a good thing for a backup if the email attachments aren't working. I'm saying a good backup because I never seem to have problems with my cbemail account.

In response to the people with the urban/rural population problems: According to the atlas, 79.9% of Canada's population is urban; this info could be found with the population map, not in the stats section. And if you googled[Canada's "most urbanized province"] it will give you alot of links which are helpful.
Alot of the rural questions were in the textbook, at least I found alot of them there.
I printed out the attachments, I think I have all the pages. 13, correct?
Does anyone know about question 23, the one about how many days Calgary spends under 0 degrees? I've googled and looked through alot of the sites -- including the posted ones. Maybe I've just missed it, but if anyone can help, thanks in advanced.
It was in the textbook lol.. Anyways, the atlas said 201 days.
Thanks a ton! I think I just missed it then. (asasdlaskdj argh.)
Baker lake is a small Inuit community located in the areas around geographical center of Canada. I don't think that's the actual name for it.
Okay, so do we still have to bring the DBA document to school tommorow? Because it doesn't seem to working to well.

Probably a lot of people weren't able to print it off. It's not essential that everyone has it tomorrow, but I'm still going to talk about it.
I can't seem to print/acess the regoinalism booklet, what should I do?

I found that if you forward the email with the regionalism booklet in it to another email account (ex. hotmail) then it will let you download it and print it off.
