Today's schedule is BADC

B Block Human Geography - You get an Extra Day!
Today we are back in the library for our last day of work on 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 an audio podcast, a news video, an online blog, or whatever format you feel best tells your story. Good luck.

A Block Physical Geography - Aloha family, today we'll take the class to work on the Koko Head (Hawai'i Kai) topographic map assignment in your Canadian Landscape topographic map textbook.

The scale of the map is 1:24000 which means 1 cm = 240m (.24km)
The contour interval is 40' (12.12m)

All of the questions are in your week 5-6 work pack and also on the Wednesday, October 9th blog entry
On the video below for the song "Island Style - 'Oiwi E", it starts at Pu'u Ma'i Maunalua (Koko Head)




D & C Blocks Environmental & Social Sciences - Today mostly with Benton, as you have soil labs to complete. If there's time you can hang with Young to finish your election work. I'll have lists of students by grade for Thursday and Friday. We have the MPR booked and have our voting screens and ballot boxes organized. We'll need

• A Deputy returning officer whose principal tasks include:

Makes sure the polling station opens and closes on time
Sets up the poll with the necessary supplies
Ensures that the elector provides satisfactory proof of identity and address before voting
Hands the ballot to the elector and indicates the instructions to follow
Counts the ballots, completes the related forms and communicates the results to the local Elections Canada office
Returns the ballot box and related materials to the returning officer or central poll supervisor, as instructed, at the end of voting

• Poll clerks whose principal tasks include:

Assists the deputy returning officer to set up and open the polling station
Assists the deputy returning officer to ensure that voting proceeds in an orderly fashion
Prepares forms and maintains records
Verifies that the elector's name appears on the list of electors and that their information matches the ID provided
Keeps track of electors who voted, using forms and lists
Assists with counting the ballots and with completing the related forms

• Information officers whose principal tasks include:

Helps with setting up and closing the polling place
Directs electors to their polling station or registration desk
Reminds electors to have their Voter Information Card and ID available and answers the elector’s questions
Directs the orderly flow of people in the central polling place
Recognizes when an elector may need extra assistance and helps them as necessary, including opening the door for them if the polling place is not equipped with automatic door openers
Ensures that the polling place closes at the prescribed time and that electors who entered the polling place before the close can exercise their right to vote

So for us, we need 10 people to be polling clerks (5 people to be taking names and crossing them off the official voters list and 5 people to be at ballot boxes) and 5 people to be information officers (going to classes and bringing students down to the MPR). The people in the MPR need to set up the polling station and make sure everything is ready for our students who will come down to vote.
