Today's schedule is DCBA
D & C Blocks Environmental and Social Sciences - Learning Commons/Library for our last day to work on research and compilation of your water conflict poster. If you think...I'm done, ask yourself "did I answer all the questions Benton and Young asked of me?" Look at Tuesday and Wednesday's blog post to check out the questions. Now if you think...yes I answered them, ask yourself is there anything I missed in answering the questions?" Will Benton and Young say, "Did you think of this?" Like in point 1 where you're asked what happens as a result of water disputes you need to look at the area in question and see if political instability, social unrest, economic downturn, heavy unemployment, or civil warfare is connected to the water crisis. Be specific...what are the effects of a water conflict besides a lack of clean fresh water. Did you do that? Remember that your answers to solutions for the conflict (point 6) need to be concrete (doable) and need to address all stakeholders. Did you consider that? Don't forget a sources cited section on the back of your poster. Did you do that? So really check to see that you're actually done, right?
Benton and Young will hand out a self/group evaluation for your Colorado River round table discussion today. We need everyone to fill one in. When you've done this you need to hand in the research and notes you took for the discussion along with the evaluation today...not tomorrow but today. Then, finish your posters for tomorrow's gallery walk. Oh and don't forget your water consumption charts, right?
B Block Human Geography - You asked for it, so you get it; I believe the phrase was "a straight-up work block". Get your work done on "Why Do Countries Face Obstacles to Development"?; "Why Is Energy Important for Development"?; "Why Does Development Vary by Gender"?; and "Why Does Development Vary among Countries"?. Tomorrow you'll get a week 5/6 package on Migration.
A Block Physical Geography - Today you have the block to finish and submit to me your week four work pack on earthquakes, tsunamis and other seismic activities. Tomorrow we begin our look at volcanoes and will get a week 5/6 package on the topic that leads to our first project in the course.
This week we
looked at earthquakes and the seismic gap concept (focusing on Izmit Turkey in
1999). To help with those questions check out:
