Alright so your test is coming up for THIS Tuesday:
- An understanding of how earthquakes occur (support your answers with illustrations)
- How has global warming increased the chances of natural disasters (think of tropical storms and tornadoes). You'll also obviously need to know how global warming occurs.
- Match definitions: e.g., tectonic plates, pyroclastic flow...etc

This is a reminder to both 7A and 7B that tomorrow during geography will be your only opportunity to work on your newspaper photographs in class.
If you're not planning on getting together with your partner outside of school, then I strongly suggest that you bring your props for tomorrow to stage your photographs for the fictional earthquake.
Remember you need to include:
- 3 photographs that portray strong emotions and show the effect of the earthquake
- Sketches of the proposed pictures
- And a written analysis of one of your pictures that analyzes the setting, the poses...etc. WHAT emotions are you trying to communicate to the viewer -- HOW are you achieving that?
P.S. It's due THIS upcoming Tuesday (the 17th of January)

For homework tonight, answer questions 1-3 on the handout, "Volcanoes Change the Earth."Also, on a side note, this BBC link is a great resource for researching the information on how earthquakes, tsunamis, volcanoes, hurricanes and tornadoes occur. It has a step by step break down and more "advanced" diagrams than my own board drawings!

For homework -- and this should be fun -- see what you can find on natural disasters on the news. What's reported? How is it reported? Any reoccuring themes or messages?

1. Think of different examples to show how each of the six effects of global warming can affect plants, animals or humans.

Answer one of these questions for Friday:
1. What were the themes explored in "The Day the Earth Stood Still?" What are some lessons learned?
or
2. Was the U.S. Secretary of Defence right in saying that this is "our" planet? Keeping the film in mind, what do you think our responsibility is to the Earth?
See you next week!
-Mr. C

As we watch "The Day the Earth Stood Still," I want you to think about the themes of sustainable growth and our stewardship over our planet. What issues are brought up? What is our responsibility to the planet? October 18, 2011

P.S. Don't forget the helpful video that I've added to this tab in a previous post!

So we'll be having our first geography test this coming Friday, October 21st. It'll be on longitude and latitude, relative/absolute locations, meridians, equator...etc. More info to come!

Longitude and Latitude

Think of "Battleship." You're essentially identifying latitude and longutide intersections. Imagine that: your homework tonight is to play Battleship!
