You will also need two (2) additional reliable sources (e.g. not Wikipedia) that you must show Ms. Hopkin by the end of class on Wednesday, 24 April 2024. You will upload this in the collaborative channel you have in Teams as a Word Document. Tag Ms. Hopkin. Direct links must be included if digital. If a book, ask Ms. Hopkin and she can show you (you should already know how to cite the textbooks!).
You are encouraged to consider one of these sources being a real study or real academic source. Ms. Hopkin will show you how to access these on the Pinetree Library Website in class. (EBSCO Host). Remember: you need a code to access this outside of school!
Activity should be planned to take 20 minutes, but you have a buffer of five minutes for unexpected surprises.
Battle Walkthroughs will start on Thursday, 25 April 2024! They will likely take 2-3 classes (order will be discussed in person, but everyone will be expected to be ready to go the first day).
You will also be assessed on how you participate in your classmates’ Battle Walkthroughs!
Remember you have two classes plus ESS to prepare for this in person! 🙂
In the Criminal Offences Package, please only complete the following:
Everything else in between should be skipped.
The notes should include:
The people absent today will need to see Ms. Hopkin in person to discuss the reasoning for the absence.
Today you are starting your Criminal Offences Package. This is something we will work on consistently and add to throughout the next few weeks. You will get to ask questions and clarify – the goal is everyone gets 100% on this so you can use it as a resource for the Trial!
Today you will be looking at Types of Offences. These are important so please ensure you are being detailed in your own words – nothing should be copied/pasted from the text (unless no other option, then need to cite it). All of the other elements of this package, as well as Criminal Defences we will work on later, are connected to these concepts.
Point form is the expectation here. You may also choose to write by hand. In that case, you will need to upload a photo of your work each day. You will also need to write out the prompts/questions of the package as you go through.

Assignment:
Can always collaborate, but need to have your responses be your own work.
Please remember to write down any questions you have for when we go over it.
Due to Teams by the end of class. Hope to see you all tomorrow. Good luck Grade 12s on your CLC Interviews!
You have already been put into groups. Check Teams!
In theory, each group should be able to fill in the Word Document attached to the assignment. If there are any issues, there is a back-up of the Word Document in Files –> Class Materials –> World War II. Make sure you download the file and save it – do not just work on it in Teams. However, Teams has assured me you can just work on the attachment within the assignment!
Use the reading and notes from yesterday to collaboratively work through the assignment. Just one assignment per group. Point form is fine, but the questions about more recent events (Afghanistan) should be in sentence form and include a quotation.
Not required, but if you needed more information on the War/Invasion (depending which sources you ask) of Afghanistan, this is a Canadian-approved source (but, as always, be skeptical!): Canadian Encyclopedia: War in Afghanistan
Submit your assignment to Teams by the end of class one per group).

Reading and Annotation:
What happened today?
Readings:
Read and annotate. Notes due to Teams by the end of class.
Remember with Annotations:
The Battle of Seven Oaks
Read the above and watch the video (below).
Use some of the questions above to prompt your thinking. Make an outline and/or a mind map of what deeper ideas and questions you would like to explore. There is paper always at the back.
Use colours, patterns, and details to represent your thinking. This should be extremely detailed and fill out the full paper, given the amount of class time.
Remember: it does not have to be perfect, it mostly has to make sense to you.
Need help? Check this out: What Is a Mind Map?
Read the above and watch the video (below).
Use the mind map to help create an outline to organize your reflection. The outline should be handed in at the end of your reflection.
In your reflection, address any of the topics mentioned above (the power of words, changing of perspectives, two or more sides to one story AND why it matters).
Using proper grammar and remembering “I” statements are used, write your reflection. This should be at least one page in length (regular formatting, so double-spaced). You have a significant amount of time, and classes essentially devoted to planning (the Mind Map + Notes), so the length expected will therefore be longer than your typical assignments.
In your reflection, include at least two quotations from any of the readings or video to help use as evidence in your explanation. Remember: just because it is NOT a paragraph formula, does not mean quotations do not matter. Quotations are extremely helpful in reflections!
Citing:
You must do this assignment in this order.
Step 1: Do the readings, link, and video. Take detailed notes.
Step 2: Go through the questions above e.g. why is history told the way it is, difference between massacre/battle. Why does it matter that a Grade 9 class, not historians not adults, found out the truth about this history?
Step 3: You will be provided with large paper. There will be pencil crayons and some felts provided, but you are welcome to bring your own artistic supplies if you have them. Draft out your Mind Map in pencil. Use images, shapes, colours, etc to really make clear your connections and ideas to this event. It should say “Battle of Seven Oaks” in the centre.
Step 4: Work on the good copy of Mind Map. This means permanent with felts, colours, etc. Pencil erased.
Step 5: Use the Mind Map to help you think and process. Do a Quick-Write. Write an in-depth reflection based on everything you have learned here. Your goal should be one page.. Remember: A reflection should not repeat the history or events. Think about the samples we have read. The history/events/topic give you an idea for you to bounce off of and go explore your own thinking with evidence. As always, you will need to include quotations and citations.
Every day you will be required to upload your progress to Teams to an assignment. It is okay if it is not done/perfect – it is just to demonstrate your progress each day.
Mind Map and Reflection due Monday, 15 April 2024.
