Celebration of Knowledge (Thursday M to Z +volleyball players) Friday for the rest

Celebration of Knowledge:

Five questions:

4 short answer (2 or 3 sentences)
1 full paragraph answer (5 or 6 sentences)

themes to focus on:

What's at the core of the Industrial Revolution?
(current sunlight vs. ancient sunlight)

Innovation and change

Locomotion (transportation)

Social Changes (child labour and working conditions)

And finally, so what/now what? Final full paragraph question.

Energy Project - UPDATE

IGS 9 

Just wanted to answer a few questions that I've gotten by email (thanks for those). 

Your options were: 

1/ Just write three paragraphs (the energy, transportation and the human effect of transition) after having read and considered the links and discuss what you feel you've found. Most importantly focus on how this research contributes 

OR

2/ If you are inspired by any of the specific energy types you've learned about, you can focus on that one and become an expert in that one thing. Share what you've found considering how it contributes to an overall clean energy transition. You can write, use a prezi or slides ... up to you. You also have the offer to present to your classmates. 

As far as when this is due ... my guess is that you have all had enough class time, so I'd like to suggest next Tuesday, when Ms. Paas and I return, as the due date. Those of you who have been able to negotiate our Google classroom page and can submit there. Those who went with the more presentation style can email me, or if you'd like to present, we'll set that up Tuesday. Please feel free to email as others have, if you have any questions (mneufeld@sd63.bc.ca)

Thanks folks. There so much to catch up on. Looking forward to Tuesday.
