How we shape the land to meet the needs of our way of life...

How do the oil sands of Fort McMurray reflect our ecological footprint?

What's the whole ecological footprint about anyways? Wondering take the test... When we did the activity as a class (averaging our responses) we discovered that we would need 4.5 earths to live the way we do. When Emilio took the test based on the way an average South American lives, we learned that they live on 0.5 of an earth, which means the people require less resources to live and are definitely living sustainably.

Heracles and the Twelve Labours Questions



Pre - reading Questions


Can a person who has killed someone become a hero? Why? Why not?


Is killing someone who is bad heroic or a sin?


Do heroes have to be moral role models?

Do heroes have to live virtuously in all areas of life?






During Reading Questions


1. Why was Heracles punished and made to do his twelve labours?



2. List these twelve labours, and summarize what they were briefly in one sentence.



3. What heroic traits did Heracles need to complete the labours?


4. What are the vales learned in reading about Heracles?




5. In spite of all the good deeds or labours Heracles completed, did these actions atone for his sins? (Remember why he was forced to do the good deeds).










After Reading Questions


6. “Plotting the Myth” - Using the story pyramid handout, analyze this myth according to the following plot elements.


a. Setting (where, when the myth takes place)






b. Exposition (initial or inciting incident)






c. Conflict – Internal and External (Internal conflict is the conflict a character feels inside emotionally; External conflict is the conflict that the main character or protagonist has with another character, usually the antagonist)


*Internal Conflict


*External Conflict


d. Rising Action (series of key events that lead to the climax)










e. Climax (turning point) – This is the main event or key event, because after this, everything changes. If things have been going badly, then at the climax, things will begin to go well for the protagonist.





f. Falling Action – Conflict “unravels” with the main character winning or losing. It may contain a moment of final suspense.




g. Denouement or Resolution – How the story ends for the main character. Is the main character in a better situation or worse?




7. Figures of Speech from Greek Mythology






a. Are the Greek myths relevant today? Consider the extent to which characters from Greek mythology appear in everyday speech. For instance, a huge or heroic task is said to Herculean. Why is this?






b. In another figure of speech from Greek mythology, a Sisyphean task is one that requires continual effort that never quite pays off. This is named for Sisyphus, who paid eternally for his crimes by rolling a boulder uphill. Every time it reached the top, it rolled back down again and Sisyphus was compelled to start anew.






c. Like Sisyphus, Tantalus was sent to the Underworld's region of eternal punishment, where he stood in a pool of water under boughs laden with fruit yet could satisfy neither hunger nor thirst. How does the word “tantalize” connect to the myth?










d. “Trust the Midas touch” you’ve heard the commercial jingle… The Midas Touch means the gift of profiting from whatever one undertakes, is named for a legendary king of Phrygia. Why would Midas Brakes use this character in naming their company or creating the commercial slogan?






e. What about Atlas? The Titan who supported the heavens on his shoulders. How does that connect to YOU or learning?










f. Something colossal in size or power (such as a supposedly unsinkable ocean liner) is said to be titanic. This adjective comes from the Titans, the gargantuan firstborn sons of the goddess Earth. What connection does the Titanic have with the fate of the Titans?










g. Stygian can mean infernal, gloomy or characteristic of death, what Underworld river does this word come from?










h. The word Promethean describes a daringly creative or defiantly original act, how does this connect to the Titan Prometheus, who defied the wrath of the gods in order to benefit humankind?










i. Research this one… A point of vulnerability is an Achilles' heel, because the mythological warrior Achilles had been magically protected in all but ________ (Where? Why was this?)










j. And finally here's a word you may have used before without realizing your debt to Greek mythology. The word panic comes from the goat-god _______. How does the meaning connect to the god?







8. Mythology in the Modern World… Find 5 other examples of mythology in the modern world. For example a football team might be called the Titans. Chosen mainly because they were gods (defeated, but nevertheless, gods).

Manga High Math Head to Head Challenge!

We've been challenged to a "Fai-To" Math Challenge on the MangaHigh website...
Here's the letter I've been sent... Do YOU WANT TO REPRESENT US?? See the letter below...
Dear Jennifer,


Your students have been offered the chance to challenge another school to a Fai-To. If your students decide to proceed with the Fai-To challenge, they will face up to 9 rounds of head to head mathematics competition.

How Fai-To Works

When your students next log in, they will be offered a choice of two different schools to challenge. They can also decide not to challenge anyone (boo!). If 6 students vote to challenge one of the schools, then the Fai-To is on, and the first school to win 5 rounds of the Fai-To is the Winner. The defending school will receive 1 advantage round for free. Each subsequent round lasts 24 hours, and students score points by winning medal points as usual. Fai-To does not affect the way that you use Mangahigh to teach. As the Challenger, if your school wins the Fai-To, you will capture the Defender's current trophy for your cabinet. You can upgrade your trophies by winning more Fai-Tos. This is simply a way to motivate students for an intensive burst of activity. After all, the honor of the school is at stake!

If you have problems at any stage, you can contact me on grant@mangahigh.com
Yours,

Lenten - Powerpoint Stations of the Cross

Looking at Lent
You have always learned that Lent commemorates the 40 days that Jesus spent praying in the desert before his public ministry. If, however, you actually count the days from Ash Wednesday to Easter Sunday, you'll realize there are actually 46 days! What? Yes, there are 46 days between Ash Wednesday and Easter. Because each Sunday of the year, however, is a grand celebration and commemoration of the resurrection of Jesus, we don't count them in the 40 days of penance. There are six Sundays between Ash Wednesday and Easter Sunday. So, by subtraction, we are left with 40 days.

Pray, Give, and SacrificeCatholic Lenten Practices
http://www.loyolapress.com/pray-give-and-sacrifice.htm
Giving up something for Lent, eating fish on Fridays and fasting from meat, almsgiving and penance throughout the forty days of Lent—these are some of the practices for which Catholics are known. But why do we as Catholics do this? Because through these commitments—known as “Lenten practices” or “Lenten disciplines”—the Catholic Church calls us each year to renew our discipleship in Christ. Specifically, each year during the liturgical season of Lent the Church asks us to pray, give alms, and fast.



Pray


We know the importance of prayer in our lives—as individuals, as families, and as a community. Prayer is especially important during Lent. The Lenten season is a time for reflection, evaluation, and repentance. As the booklet Praying Lent (Loyola Press, 2009) says, Lent asks us: “What needs changing?” Lent calls us to a personal conversion and renewal—to a recommitted life in Christ so that we might not just celebrate Easter forty days later but also feel the risen Christ alive in us and in the world. This means prayer. During Lent we set aside time for prayer that is reflective in nature and reveals places where we have failed to open ourselves to God.


Give


Every day we witness situations of injustice, violence, and hatred. Television and the Internet bring these into our living rooms, but we also observe and live them in our own cities and homes. The Church calls us during Lent to be especially conscious of the needs of others and to act accordingly. Giving materially to another is an act of Christian charity known as “almsgiving.” During Lent, the Church also calls us to first convert ourselves and then to transform the world for justice, so that we might serve the Kingdom which Jesus lived and preached.



Sacrifice


Fasting and abstinence are not sacrifices for the sake of pain or vain discomfort. Sacrifice for the sake of sacrifice is not a Christian virtue. We are asked by the Catholic Church to fast on Ash Wednesday and Good Friday, and not to eat meat on the Fridays of Lent. Feeling an empty stomach, or fighting the urge to have that juicy steak or candy bar does more than just remind us that for some people an empty stomach is their daily bread. Fasting and abstinence help us to ask ourselves the question: “What sustains me and gives me life?” What nourishes me on my journey of life? We will find the answer, not in the steak or the candy bar, but at the end of these forty days of Lent—in the Resurrection of Jesus. We fast and abstain because, when we do, we are reminded of who we are—followers of the risen Christ.


As Catholics, we joyfully engage in Lenten disciplines because we are disciples (and yes, both words have the same root). We pray, give (almsgiving), and sacrifice (fast) because we follow Christ, who loved us so much that gave his own life so that we might share in Eternal Life.


8 Ways to Pray During Lent
http://www.loyolapress.com/8-ways-to-pray-during-lent.htm


What do we do when we’re facing an upcoming big event, celebration, or special occasion in our lives? We prepare for it. Holy Week and Easter are “big events” in the liturgical year of the Church and in the spiritual life of a Christian. So, as Christians, we prepare spiritually for these through the forty days of Lent. This means that, during Lent, we rededicate ourselves to prayer.



There are as many ways to pray as there are pray-ers in this world, but a few prayer methods can help us in particular to spiritually prepare ourselves during Lent:



1. Make your abstinence a prayer-in-action.

As Catholics we are called to give up something for Lent. Chocolate, coffee, that extra helping of dinner, one less hour of video games or watching DVDs—whatever it is, you can make what you’re giving up for Lent a prayer as well: a prayer-in-action. Whenever you encounter the thing you are abstaining from or the time of day that you would normally enjoy it, take a moment to say a prayer in recognition of your wholeness in God even without the thing you have given up. Thank God for the freedom to be wholly yourself without this and, at the same time, acknowledge the gift of its existence in the world.



2. Renew yourself through personal reflective prayer.

Lent is a time of spiritual renewal. One easy step you can take is to use the many free online resources to jump-start or reinvigorate your prayer life. A few such resources are Loyola Press’s popular 3-Minute Retreats and Seven Last Words of Christ guided meditation, or try the prayer reflections offered by the Irish Jesuit site Sacred Space. If you’re seeking more traditional support for your personal reflective prayer, consider a book specially designed to nourish you during Lent, such as Seven Weeks for the Soul or Praying Lent.



3. Pray the Stations of the Cross.

One of the most common traditions of Lent is to pray the Stations of the Cross. This prayer helps us reflect on the passion and death of Christ in preparation for Good Friday observance and the Easter celebration. Check your local parish Web site or bulletin for listings of when a Stations of the Cross prayer service is being offered, or try one of the many online resources available, such as this one for praying the Stations with children.



4. Meditate on Holy Scripture with Lectio Divina.

Perhaps the oldest method of scriptural prayer known to Christians is lectio divina or “holy reading.” This method of prayer is characterized by the slow reading and consideration of a text from Scripture, with repetition and meditation on key words or phrases. Lectio divina is rooted in the belief that the scriptural word speaks in the human heart as the word of God and can reveal the thoughts of our hearts in response to God. In this way, lectio divina leads to a deeper communion with the Divine.



5. Reflect deeper on your liturgical prayer.

When you attend Mass during Lent, be conscious of and meditate on the words you pray in the liturgy. For example, the Eucharistic Prayer, the highlight of each Mass, has special significance during Lent. After receiving communion, you may want to sit and reflect more deeply on this great prayer of the Church.



6. Join or start a prayer group.

There are many benefits to praying with others. In group prayer you’re able to offer and experience a positive example, needed support and encouragement, different perspectives, and the inspiration to grow in the Christian life. A simple way to get started is to invite your spouse, a family member, or close friend to pray with you on a regular basis throughout Lent. You can also contact your local parish and inquire about prayer groups or prayer circles being sponsored. Or start your own communal prayer group. For example, the Meeting Christ In Prayer kit offers step-by-step instructions, guides, and all the necessary resources so even a beginner can start praying with others.



7. Pray with children or as a family.

Being a parent, guardian, or teacher is a holy ministry and a sacred promise. Share your faith with children by letting them see and hear you pray, and by praying together. Guided Reflections for Children: Praying My Faith, Praying with Scriptures, and 52 Simple Ways to Talk with Your Kids about Faith are all practical, realistic resources to help you make the most of your prayertime with children. And don’t forget about family dinners. Dinnertime is a great opportunity to start or enliven a tradition of family prayer during Lent.

8. Start a practice of daily prayer that will last after Lent.

Perhaps the best prayer advice is to use Lent as a time to instill prayer habits that will last long after Lent has concluded. Resources such as yearly prayer guides—for example, A Prayer Book of Catholic Devotions can get you started and help you stay consistent.


So enjoy your Lenten prayer. And don’t think you have to do all the above. Perhaps choose one or two of these prayer methods to concentrate on—and then you can more fully experience the pilgrim journey toward Easter that is Lent.

Why is the 40 Days of Lent so Important?


A Journey Through Lent
A journey through lent in pictures, words, phrases and music. Join Christ from his entry into Jerusalem through the Last Supper.

When we look  at the work of mercy, we need to examine the passage from Matthew.

Matthew (Matt. 25: 34-36, 40)

Then the King will say to the sheep,


“Come and receive your share of the kingdom


which I have prepared for you.


For when I was hungry, you gave me food.


When I was thirsty, you gave me drink.


When I was a stranger, you made me feel welcome.


When I had nothing to wear, you gave me clothes.


When I was sick, you took care of me and when I was in prison, you came and visited me.


And the King will answer,


“When you do those things for any of my brothers and sisters in need, you do it to me.


And those who do those things will live with God forever.”



Reflection: We will explore "Work of mercy" - What does this mean to be merciful? What does food have to do with being merciful?? Let's reflect on the reflection below, "When I was hungry, you gave me food".

When I was hungry, you gave me food.

Many people in the world go hungry, they cannot grow their own food or do not have enough money to buy food. Some things you can do to help feed the hungry are: support organizations like HCA to help feed the hungry in poor and developing countries, appreciate the food you have and don’t waste it. You can even make donations to our Regina Food Bank.

Another way of seeing someone’s hunger is to understand that everyone needs love and attention. Think of someone who is lonely – they are hungry for friendship, or even for a smile. Someone who acts silly to get attention and gets in trouble for doing that is hungry for attention too. Giving someone a compliment or seeing their positive qualities and strengths, inviting them to join a game or including them in an activity, or even just spending time with them is a way of ‘feeding the hungry.’

What will you do to show Works of Mercy?
On KIDBLOG.ORG, you will write a post expressing how you will show works of Mercy during Lent. The title of you post: How I will Show Works of Mercy

The Scorpio Races Awesome Book to get!

It happens at the start of every November: the Scorpio Races. Riders attempt to keep hold of their water horses long enough to make it to the finish line. Some riders live. Others die.

At age nineteen, Sean Kendrick is the returning champion. He is a young man of few words, and if he has any fears, he keeps them buried deep, where no one else can see them.

Puck Connolly is different. She never meant to ride in the Scorpio Races. But fate hasn’t given her much of a chance. So she enters the competition — the first girl ever to do so. She is in no way prepared for what is going to happen.

So I asked Mrs. Folk to pick up yet another book for the Library.... The Scorpio Races


If you can't wait for her to buy it, and trust my opinion, then pick up The Scorpio Races (see pic below for the cover... Maggie Stiefvater). It's a book written from the perspective of two characters, Puck and Sean (that's pronouned "Shawn"... in case you don't know that Gaelic spelling). Usually every chapter the perspective changes, so you always get a chance to see the different points of view, but it all depends on what that character would find important. If you love horses then this book is for you... well actually, maybe not... imagine a world where you are living on an island. Horses are pretty much part of everyday life... then imagine in addition to a "normal horse" there is yet another breed of horses... The capaill uisce otherwise known as a water horse... sounds sweet and beautiful right?? Guess again! These horses are predatory carnivores who are basically beautiful monsters that you must protect your small pets and livestock from... because well, the capaill uisce eat meat. Sound weird? Well imagine a race where these horses are captured and "tamed".  Keep in mind, the water horses are never really tamed... Can you really "tame" a tiger or a lion?? Well you can fool yourself into thinking that until your hand is bitten off! Anyways I digress, imagine a race where there is so much money to be won if you get first, it's well worth the risk.


Now this book has a bit of romance in it... but not the sappy, moony-eyed romance of Twilight (by the way, I can say this, because I do begrudgingly love Twilight!)... the romance is one where the characters are still more in love with the race than anything else... Oh I hope I haven't ruined this for those who hate romance! Actually, guys you would even like this book... It's just cool! Anyways, I bought it if you want to borrow it and see for yourself. The only problem I have with this book is that there's no sequel. That's just how good it is.


*By the way, the pronounciation of this horse never really rolls off the tongue... I didn't learn how to pronounce the name until half way through the book! I still don't really know... I think you have to speak Gaelic to get it, and that's Gaelic, not garlic!


Stewie


Here's the video with music performed by the author (and another person name Kate something...) The music gives you the feel for the setting...





This is a sample from the book, different chapters from Sean and Puck's perspectives (remember "Shawn" not "Seen")... Where was this video when I was trying to say             capaill uisce?? The images in this video may help give the reader a reference point for the setting...





Here's a link to the site for the book... yes I'm obsessed... http://maggiestiefvater.com/the-scorpio-races/

Reportcards are coming...

I am totally ripping this off Jason's site... but I thought it was an awesome widget and it seems appropriate for the upcoming Term 2 Reportcard......


Remember....March 29th is theTerm 2 Reportcard...


All overdue assignments for Term 1, are to be completed by Friday, March 2nd!! Even if you moved into another class! Your grades will follow you!

All students who were in my class up to the February break, will still receive a reportcard from me for Term 2. All grades given at the beginning of March will go on the Term 3 Reportcard with the teacher you are assigned to. If you have any further questions, please feel free to contact me or the school. This transition is new for all of us... but it will bring some fantastic new changes to our school, especially with our newest addition to our staff, Mrs. Matt. I look forward to planning and team teaching units in ELA with her! So grade 7's who are moving to other class, we of course will miss you... but we will continue to do some of the great things we planned... just as a team! :-)

(BTW, Ms. Matt is also pumped about the Hunger Games movie coming out!!! I can barely contain my excitement! I know, you're thinking, "Me too!" or perhaps "Get a grip Stewie!" Sorry, I just LOVE that book!!!!!!!!!)

When technology frustrates you...

The grade 7/8's often chuckle about how frustrated I get when technology doesn't work properly..... like the speed of downloading at school.... In those moments when I shake my fits at technology and reach for my scream pillow... and count to 107 so I don't blow up.... I realize the importance of keeping of keeping it in perspective....

Watch this guy, he definitely needs a scream pillow!
