Grade 9 Geography:
Your study guides are due tomorrow!
Grade 10 Civics:
First, let me say that I was/am thoroughly impressed by the level of thought and insight that the PM and two premiers put into their responses. Keep it up, the three of you: I will DEFINITELY have positive things to say on Parent's Night!
Also, for my afternoon Civics class, your homework is to find two newspaper articles on immigration policies in Canada, one positive and one negative, and prepare a brief summary of what each article says, as well as 1 paragraph on whether and why you agree/disagree with each article (You will be talking about them in class!).

Hmmmm....
Ladies and gentlemen, the poster who has written 'do not forget' in 20 languages is a former student of mine.
Thank you, Evan, for pointing out that my brain is like Swiss cheese. And that I am old. Were you in my class, I would think up some clever and fiendish retribution. Instead, I will simply hunt down your comic book, and wave it tauntingly in front of my computer :P
Grade 9 Geography
Pg. 302, questions 1-3, 5 in the first section, and the notes from 299 onward.
Careers 10
Nothing.

Grade 9 Geography Review
Hello my cherubs! Here is the review for your test!
Chapter 16
Key terms: Immigrate, emigrate, birth rate, death rate, natural increase rate, immigration rate, emigration rate, net migration rate, Population growth rate, population pyramid.
Study the key terms and know what they mean (And how to do the math for some of them), and that's all you'll need to know for Chapter 16. You *MAY* want to do one or two questions from the Knowledge/Understanding and Thinking sections at the end of the chapter.
Chapter 18
Key Terms: Multicultural, push factor, pull factor, intervening obstacle, economic immigrant, family immigrant, refugee, interprovincial migration
As usual, know what the key terms mean, and the concepts they represent. Do the Thinking and Knowledge/Understanding questions sections at the end of the textbook.
Chapter 19
Key Terms: population distribution, population density, survey system, long lot, tributary, concession system, section system
Know about the three different types of rural settlement patterns , and the three key factors that affect the pattern of rural settlement.
Chapter 20
Key Terms: Basic industries, economic base, threshold population,
Christaller's Central Place Theory, high-order, middle-order, and low-order goods and services
Know one each of: tourist cities, government centres, and resource-based communities, and be able to tell me something about how they came to be (Probably a ten-mark question!)
Chapter 21
Key Terms: Residential density, zoning, anchor, urban sprawl, greenbelt
Know the six types of commercial land use, and know one or two things about each, the factors affecting land-use patterns, and the importance of the Oak Ridges Moraine.
Good luck on your test!
