Friday, January 15. 2010

Today's schedule is B-A-Lunch-D-C

B - Geography 12 - Today we are working on the James Bay Hydroelectric Project topographic map assignment. You will need to work on the following questions from the Canadian Landscape topo map book 1, 2, 3, 4 a through d, 6 a and b, and 7a (page 75). For help look at:
CBC Archives James Bay
Canadian Encyclopedia James Bay Project

Canadian Arctic Resources Committee James Bay
York University lecture notes on James Bay
Canadian Geographic Nov/Dec 2005 Traveling the James Bay road

For on line versions of the topographic map (follow the Geogratis link here and search any of the map codes below. Once you've entered the map code click submit and you'll be taken to a download page. The map downloads as a zip file and when you open it the map will be a "tiff" picture file) you'll need the map code (#) which is:
  • 33F12
  • 33F13 and
  • 33F14
You can go to the Atlas of Canada site Toporama and zoom into Radisson Quebec or you could use Google Maps (type in James Bay or Radisson and then select the Terrain layer)


A - Social Studies 11 - Today we'll begin our look at comparative living standards, but I'll remind you that your Population Activity is due next Thursday (you'll get the first half of the class to work on it today). To start we are going to compare Canada's population to Botswana. On the United Nations Human Development Index Canada ranks 3rd while Botswana ranks 126th (out of 179 countries in 2008). We'll try to make sense of why Canada ranks so high while Botswana ranks so low.

D - Law 12 - Today we have the block to work on our project which is due a week from today.

C - Introduction to Law 9/10 - Today we start with our penultimate (second to last) quiz in the class dealing with arrests, parties to an offense, and pre-trial procedures. After we will watch an episode of Law & Order episode from season 6 (episode 115) "Jeopardy".

Pau Hana!
