Today's schedule is D-C-Lunch-A-B
C - Criminology 12 - Yesterday we got caught up in the talk about murder and murderous relationships so today we'll work on what we missed...assault, spouse and child abuse, robbery, and hate crimes. On Tuesday you'll be in the library for a blog entry and then Wednesday you'll have your violent crime quiz (the work from May 4th to today).
A - Earth & Space Science 11 - Today, you are in the library for your next day to work on your major semester long project. You can find the assignment on the school computers in K:\Mr. A. Young\Earth and Space Science 11\Earth and Space Science Major Project.pdf. Remember that your Second Milestone is May 28th and on that day you will need to submit three completed pages (of which I will choose one to grade). Remember that your topics need to be related to class discussions or subjects covered in the course AND you need to have a research component. May 28th is in one week so please make sure that you're on top of this assignment!
B - Social Studies 10 - Today we'll continue our 'Ole Bill Coot comic strip assignment on the Cariboo Gold Rush. In case you forgot...
Nitro Comics Inc. has approached you because they heard about what an amazing talent you have at telling stories and graphically designing them. They want to start a weekly comic strip about the wild and wacky adventures of an old timey prospector in the Cariboo Gold Rush named ‘Ole Bill Coot. Their comic strip will be syndicated throughout the historical magazine community and will be focused in the BC Historical Society’s magazine The Begbie Report. Nitro Comics has given you free reign to create whatever stories you want but before you do they want a story board sample from you.
What is a story board? Basically a storyboard is a graphic organizer that shows a story idea. A storyboard is an outline, generally illustrated, that is used in the planning of a television show, movie, commercial, or play. You could think of a storyboard as an illustrated flow chart. The illustrations are somewhat similar to the art in comic books. A storyboard consists of many "frames," with each frame representing a particular scene in the production.
Nitro Comics wants you to tell the story of ‘Ole Bill Coot arriving in BC to make his golden fortune in Barkerville during the 1860’s. Your story must have 14 panels and needs to include the following events:
1. Bill arriving in Fort Victoria on Vancouver Island from San Francisco
2. Bill arriving in Fort Langley on the Fraser River
3. Bill traveling up the Cariboo Wagon Road past Yale on the Fraser River
4. Bill arriving in Barkerville
5. Bill staking a claim on Williams Creek
6. Bill panning for gold
7. Bill striking it rich in the gold fields
8. Bill losing his riches in Barkerville
9. Bill getting help from Judge Begbie to win back his riches
There needs to be swashbucklin, claim jumpin, horse wrastlin, saloon drinkin, bar fightin, gun slingin, ladies dancin, and rootin tootin old timey western action in your cartoon. You also need to show how Judge Matthew Baillie Begbie regained control over law & order in the goldfields. You’ll need to have a consistent image for Bill, thought bubbles, language, and a description of the action beneath each panel.
You can also work on the questions from yesterday:
"Check Your Understanding" question 7 from p.99 along with "Confirm Your Learning" questions 13 & 14 on page 100.
Pau Hana Ohana!
Nestled away, in the back corner of G.P. Vanier, you'll find room 115 (we used to be 611). Lurking in the shadows of this room is Mr. Young...waiting to pounce on unsuspecting students and natter on about volcanoes, hail, psychopathy, criminal law defenses, cultural diffusion, media theories, crime, and urban models of city development. He loves his job in 115 and can't wait to work with you this year.
