D & C Blocks Environmental and Social Sciences - Today we set up and conduct the student vote in the Multi Purpose Room. Grade 8's first, then 9's and finally 10's. Hopefully we can get it all done in D block. Then on to Benton.
B Block Human Geography - Today we'll look at the key question, "Where Are Folk and Popular Leisure Activities Distributed"? We'll try to examine two aspects of where folk and popular cultures are in space. First, each cultural activity has a distinctive spatial distribution so we'll examine a social custom’s origin, its diffusion, and its integration with other social characteristics. Second, we'll try to see the relation between material culture and the physical environment.
So, our job today is to look at the differences between folk and popular culture and we'll do this through the lens of music and sport (
Popular Music (I know it's from 1971 but the video of the Marvin Gaye song below is of musicians from the world over singing a pop song)
Folk Music (Musicians from the Hawaiian Islands singing a song unique to the islands)
Football (not soccer)
A Block Physical Geography - I have the library reserved for the class so that you may finish work on your Orting College development project. I'll have some previous examples of student work for you to look at and need to remind you that this assignment is due tomorrow; it is crucial that you hand it in to me as we will be at the end of our unit. Last chance...get it done.
