Today's schedule is CDABL

C & D Blocks Environmental and Social Sciences - All Benton all day...however if you have time you could work on your election posters to promote the Student Vote that we have next Thursday and Friday. Odds are you'll be working on soil. So if Benton feels healthy, you'll head outside for some soil profile investigations and if not then he'll have someone in to work with you. Remember you can swing by 115 to pick up work to get your election posters completed.

A Block Physical Geography - I have the learning commons/library reserved for the class so that you may continue working on your Orting college development project. Ask yourself,

What is the greatest danger to Orting? Of all that could potentially happen at Mount Rainier what poses the greatest threat? Now ask yourself what triggers that threat? What causes it to happen? Last think about the statistical likelihood of that event happening. How likely is the event to occur in the next 5, 10, 100, or 1000 years? 

Check out the risk analysis section of the COTF website for help here. I'll remind you that this assignment is due next Wednesday and it is crucial that you hand it in to me as we will be at the end of our unit. Maybe take a look at this article. Or "How dangerous are the Northwest's Volcanoes?"

B Block Human Geography - Today we are back in the learning commons/library where you need to finish up your research for your immigrant/migration project. Remember, you will imagine yourself in the role of a refugee/migrant who has relocated from one part of the world to another. Your job is to research in detail the many factors that are involved in a migration. You will need to produce a thorough written summary of your personal migration (A.K.A. Diary or Reflection journal or Newspaper article)...or podcast...or video.
