Careers 10

Just thought I'd mention

We were talking about the Milgard Experiment in class today regarding prisoners and guards from Yale in the 1970s. I misspoke in class - The gentleman's name is Philip Zimbardo, and it happened in Stanford. If you're hunting for the experiment and can't find it, try searching for Philip Zimbardo experiment, and you should find out about it pretty easily!

NOTICE

IF YOU SIGNED UP FOR A PRESENTATION ON MONDAY AND FORGOT TO MENTION THAT YOU NEEDED A PROJECTOR, YOU'RE OUT OF LUCK.

I NEED TO BOOK PROJECTORS IN ADVANCE, WHICH IS WHY I HAD THE BOOKINGS *LAST* WEEK. THIS IS ALSO WHY THERE WAS AN *ENTIRE* COLUMN LABELED "CHECK HERE FOR PROJECTOR".

IF YOU WANT A PROJECTOR FOR MONDAY AND DID NOT PUT A CHECK IN THE COLUMN, YOU WILL NOT HAVE ONE TOMORROW. TELLING ME TODAY THAT YOU NEED A PROJECTOR FOR TOMORROW IS *NOT* A GOOD IDEA.

ESPECIALLY BECAUSE YOU HAD MUCH OF LAST WEEK TO DO IT.

Grade 9s and the Forum assignment

Hellllloooooo my cherubs!

By now I'm sure you've spent a sleepless night wondering what the heck it is exactly that Mr. Kassam wants you to do!

Well, everyone seems confused, so let's go through a few things, shall we?

I want you to find an answer to the following problem: How do we help people in Toronto find safe, affordable housing?

Now that I've got the question, here's some things you can do - Try looking on the Internet using Google to find some solutions by other cities/provinces/states/countries. With all the search skills I've given you recently, it shouldn't be that hard. Once you're done, it might be a good idea to use those solutions as a starting point to make your own.

If you can't find any solutions, don't worry too much, as I'm more concerned with the solution your group gets (But it helps to find another solution, because it shows me that you've done research!)

Your homework this weekend is to write up your report. You don't need all of it done, though!

Grade 10 Careers

- Presentations are on Monday. No lates. Get your stuff together now - I hate people who talk during presentations, and if you're one of them, I have a small rule:

If you are talking during a person's presentation, I will stop their presentation, and ask you to do yours in front of the class instead. Even if you've already done it. Of course, with two presentations, you get two sets of marks - I'll just take the lower one.

Moral: Don't talk in class.

Otherwise, I'm sure you'll all do a great job, because I'm looking through some of the ISUs, and dang if they're not pretty good :)

Have a good weekend, folks!

Mr. K

Bibliography

Yes, you need to cite pictures. If it's not yours, make sure I know where it comes from.

Careers 10 Bibliography Guide

Bibliography Guide (I will be going over this in class on Monday, so don't worry too much if you don't get it right away).

Please put your bibliography on a separate page with the word BIBLIOGRAPHY centred at the top. Double-space for and after each entry

Please list your entries in alphabetical order starting at 'a'. If a bibliography entry takes up more than one line, indent each of the following lines of the entry until it's finished, then move on to the next one.

Citation Rules:

After being asked more than a few times how do do a proper set of citations for history classes, I, your humble and munificent teacher, have decided to put a few examples up so you can see with your own eyes (antennae, feet, thorax, or what have you, depending on species or inclination) how to properly cite photographs or written work.

Books:
References to an entire book should include the following elements:

• author(s) or editor(s)
  
• the complete title
  
• edition, if indicated

A new entry! Woooooo!

Well now, it is Sunday afternoon - Time for a homework recap

10 Careers: You've got two assignments coming down the pipe. The first is the Prove To Me assignment that's due Monday, the second is the Interview Assignment that's due on Friday. In between, I will try to get us some time at the library or computer lab this week so you can have some library research time to work on your ISUs

9 Geography: Hello my cherubs! You have homework from the textbook to do if you haven't done so already, and a little map of the Canadian Shield to colour in and make all pretty! Make sure you get it done for Monday, otherwise... *shakes fist* :P

I have recently purchased a videogame for my Wii. It is unfortunate. You see, I have now become addicted again. First it was Wii Golf, then it was Tiger Woods Golf, now it's No More Heroes.

I must stop playing videogames. Alas, I cannot. Now if only I could find some way to port Forza Motorsport onto my Wii...

Enjoy your weekend, or what's left of it! I'll see you all tomorrow! Remember dress-down day on Tuesday and donate some food!
