Today's schedule is ABCDL


A Block Physical Geography - Today in class we'll try to understand the five different types of volcanoes, with examples, and see if we can figure out where these beasts are on the planet. We'll take some notes about the five types of volcanoes and yes...I Lava You Volcanoes!

 check out "super chill dude" on Mount Semeru in Indonesia...

Check out the types of Volcanoes at the BC Open Text Physical Geology Textbook. There are three types of volcanic environments are represented in British Columbia:

1. The Cascade Arc (a.k.a. the Garibaldi Volcanic Belt in Canada) connected to subduction of the Juan de Fuca Plate beneath the North America plate (Mt. Garibaldi, Mt. Cayley, and Mt. Meager)
2. The Anahim Volcanic Belt related to a mantle plume (The Rainbow Range and Nazko Cone)
3. The Stikine Volcanic Belt and the Wells Gray-Clearwater Volcanic Field related to crustal rifting (Tseax River Cone and Mount Edziza)

B Block Human Geography -Today we'll try to answer the Key Questions "Where are Migrants Distributed and Why Do People Migrate?" We'll look at the difference between a migrant and a refugee. We'll look at in-migration (immigration to) and out-migration (emigration from) and patterns of international migration. We'll look at a brief history of immigration policy in Canada (Hint hint it's kinda Eurocentric up to the late 1960's), Zelinski's migration transition (what stages of the DTM do we find in and out migration) and lastly push and pull factors for migration. You'll have some work to complete for me in your week 5 package.





C/D Block Environmental & Social Sciences - Today you'll have the first part of class to finish your water crisis poster. When it's time, we'll put the posters up in the class for a gallery walk. When you do the gallery walk, we'll place a sheet of paper next to each poster. You need a pencil or pen with you. When you go around to other posters you'll be asked to comment on what you see. As you would explore an art gallery, you'll walk around the room and consider each water crisis poster at least once. On the piece of paper next to the poster, you should write whatever thoughts or feelings come to mind. You may write as little as one word, such as “suffering,” or as many as a few sentences. If you’ve responded to each image and time is left, you should revisit images and add more impressions to the paper. You can even write short responses to your classmates’ comments, such as “Yes, I agree!” or “But what if … ?” Remember that you should use appropriate language, respond to one another’s comments kindly, and never cross out or obscure someone else’s words. You may also comment around these starters:

List something that surprised you
List something that interested you
List something you like about what you saw
List a question that you have of the project
Write one thing you don't want to forget from this poster
Write one thing you'd like to share with the poster creator(s)

We'll try to look for similarities (common themes in the projects) - both in causes and solutions. Also we'll try to see other patterns:

What did you notice as you participated in the gallery walk?
What comments did you respond to? What comments received the most attention? Why?
What similarities did you notice between the posters? What differences did you notice?


Does water always lead to conflict?
