Homework for weekend of Apr. 5 2008

Hello my cherubs (And assorted parents!)

Okay ladies and gents, your homework this weekend is two-fold:

1) Find a picture from WWII and write a paragraph on it.
It can be a propaganda poster, a newspaper clipping, or a photo from home (Photocopies ONLY, please! I don't want you bringing the originals - Photographs are sensitive to the oils on your fingers as well as light and air, and photos that old should be kept somewhere nice and safe!)
When you've found the picture, write a paragraph on what you think it means - If you can't think of it, try doing what we did in the beginning of the unit on the '20s and 30s: Analyze the picture according to images, text, and logos in it.

2) Bonus - Earlier this week we discussed the necessity of TASERs in police forces around Canada. I would like you to find two nonlethal alternative technologies to TASERs. What are they, what do they do, how do they work, and why are they viable alternatives? (Viable: The state of being usable, practical, or healthy.)

That's all for now. Any questions, leave them on the blog. Remember to finish your note-taking assignments!

Mr. K

P.S. I wasn't able to do a binder check for one of the classes on Friday - You guys will have a binder check on Monday, so make sure you've got all the notes, assignments, and tests handy! And remember, there WILL be a shake test!
