A Block Social Studies 10 - Today, we'll begin our work on the economy of Canada and specifically that of B.C. Today you'll need to begin an economic glossary for Social Studies 10. You need to define the following terms in your own words (and you can find most of them in Chapter 8 starting on page 282-3 of the Horizons text):
- business cycle
- capital (economic)
- Consumer Price Index (CPI)
- economic consumption
- economic demand
- economic market
- economic sector
- economic supply
- goods
- branch plants
- Gross Domestic Product (GDP)
- Gross National Product (GNP)
- heartland/hinterland
- non-renewable resource
- manufacturing based economy
- primary industry
- renewable resource
- resource based economy
- secondary industry
- services
- tertiary industry
- pre-Industrial (agricultural) society
- Industrial (mechanized) society
- post-Industrial (technological) society
C Block Crime, Media and Society 12 - Today we're back in the library working on the collaborize classroom site. Now for today I'd like you to do two things:
- Work on last week's threads on the individual media monitoring project/assignment and on the Media vs. Anthony, Arias, & Zimmerman, then
- Work on the Russell Williams Canadian-American News Coverage thread
D Block Geography 12 - Today we look at the ethics associated with resource use along with the different forms of "capital" and understand the concept of "natural capital". We'll also look at renewable and non-renewable resources along with the four ethical views on resource use (economic/exploitation; preservationist; balanced-multiple use; and ecological or sustainable). We'll talk about over-consumption and unsustainable resource use practices using the example of water consumption and the Aral Sea and we'll end the class with a seemingly simple question...."How Much do You Consume?"
Don't forget that I need you to continue tracking your family's water consumption for the week and you can use the water footprint calculator at the H20 Conserve website.
