Today's schedule is DCBA

D & C Blocks Environmental and Social Sciences - Today in D Block with Benton, you'll be back in the lab building plankton nets using nylons, tape, stapler, water bottle and cord. (samples to be taken for next week). You'll also look at the layers of the ocean, through an examination and illustration of the profile of the Georgia Strait.

In C Block with Young we'll finish yesterday's look at gyres by having you complete the Wind Generated Currents questions from Exploring or Fluid Earth at the University of Hawai'i at Mānoa.


B Block Human Geography - Today we are back in the library for your last day to work on your information graphic poster on an endangered language. Remember, for your endangered language you’ll need to:

1. Show where the endangered language originated and diffused to (yes on a map).
2. Show the connection to the family, branch, and group of the endangered language. (Use your best judgment on this). 
3. Show where the language is spoken today, indicate how many people speak it.
4. Show Unique features of this endangered language (What makes it different to and similar than others?)
5. Show examples of how the language is written and or spoken 
6. Show why your endangered language is important to save
7. Show how your endangered language is both being threatened (contributing factors) and being saved
8. Show how people can find more info (links...sources cited)

 You will need to chose an information graphic site to use:

Infogram

Canva

Easily  

Visme  

Venngage  

Snappa  

Piktochart

What can your poster look like? Here are some stock vector examples for layout ideas

And then you could use this Spanish language infoposter as a guide as well

See me if you need help or assistance. This project is due next Tuesday - email me your digital infoposter.


A Block Physical Geography - Today we are working on the Medicine Hat Topographic map. You need your Canadian Landscape topographic map book and the Medicine Hat map can be found on pages 40-42. You will need to work on questions 1 a, b and d, 2 a & b, 3 a-e, 4, 7 a-d and 8. This work is due on Tuesday and if you wish to work on this activity out of the class (and really who wouldn't?) I would highly suggest you ask me questions ahead of time. You can find topographic maps of Medicine Hat on Google Maps (Type in Medicine Hat Alberta on a Google search and click on maps at the top and then choose "Terrain" as an option). Thanks DKay Creative Productions for the vid of the Hat below
