A Block Social Studies 10 - Today we are in the library for our next day of research/work on your family history assignment. Remember, your task is to research your family history, which includes learning how to conduct academic research, making critical evaluations regarding sources, and managing information. Please remember that I want you to focus on the context of history- did your ancestor fight in the war of 1812? What was life like for farmers during early settlement of the west? Why do you have American relatives? Use the primary documents and stories you find to uncover what daily life might have been like for your relatives.

C Block Crime, Media and Society 12 - OK so this is it...today and tomorrow are the last two days in the library working on the collaborize classroom site. Now for today I'd like you to do two things:
- Continue posting in your individual project thread and
- Post and comment on the age / gender / race-ethnicity and crime thread question.
1. Give a definition and an explanation of how
it is produced
2. Provide three examples of how the source is
used (globally)
3. Detail three advantages and three disadvantages
of using the source
4. Assess the potential for developing that
source of energy here in BC
5. Choose the best option out of the ones they
listed to develop here in BC (think cost to make and transmit and return on
investment)…
You will have tomorrow in the library to finish this. Remember you must look at four of the six renewables (not all six) and provide sound reasoning as to why you believe their top choice should be chosen as an energy project here in BC. Here are some links for you to use:
