Sorry for the later post tonight...

Social 20

We continued watching "The French Revolution: Years of Hope" video today in class. If you ever have questions while watching the video I'd be happy to answer them.

Social 10

You were to have completed the Regionalism package today in class. If you didn't finish it, you need to come to tutorial tomorrow to try and finish it up. I will be taking this in from you on Friday at the beginning of class. Tomorrow we will be going to the library to start research for your "Regional Brochure Assignment". Please feel free to use any of the following hyperlinks when working on this project:

Social 10 Links for Canadian Geography:

The following is not meant to be an exhaustive list of websites, however it may be useful to examine them as a starting point in your research.

• Canadian Landscapes Photo Collection (click on "Search by Physiographic Region")
• Canadian Tourism Commission Photo Gallery
• Images of Canada from VIA Rail (select a photo album to view)
• The Parliament of Canada Photo Gallery (only useful for St. Lawrence Lowlands region)
• Statistics Canada: Thematic Maps (may be useful)
• Travel Links: Canada (Travel Canada, most useful set of links. Includes links to provincial tourism websites)
• Canada Infolink (lots of information, useful images)

Whenever you do Internet based research, please keep in mind the following: anyone can post information on the Internet. Just because it's on the Internet does NOT mean that true. Approach any website with a healthy dose of skepticism. With any new piece of information that you encounter online always consider the following:

• Who is the source?
• What am I getting?
• When was it created?
• Where am I?
• Why am I there?
• How can I distinguish quality information from junk?

When citing your sources for this project, and any other Social Studies assignment or project that you will do for me this year, please use the following citation format. The actual format guide is on pages 22-25 of this PDF document. It is recommended that you make a copy of this guide as this the accepted format for citing sources that I will use this year.
