for the canadian company project, what do i have to do for "state its canadian importance"?
Dear Mrs. Cosburn,
For our Paris group projects, is the deadline Monday or Tuesday? Everyone is saying different days so I thought I'd ask you for clarification.
Hi Oliver,
Is it a big company? Does it have a lot of historical importance? (HBC)Is it known world-wide? Have they designed Olympic clothing for our athletes? (Roots)
Does that help?
Hey Alexx,
Great question! It's been a busy week so I am sorry that that was not clarified. You all said that you needed more time so I am going to give it to you. I will book more time in the computer lab but then your projects will be due the same week as the Geography project...
I repeat, the Paris Project is NOT due this week. Have a great weekend!
Ok and thanks! And I was wondering do we have to do our Business project in Bristol board form?
Yes, Alexx. That one has to be on a bristol board. I would like them all the same.
Mrs. Cosburn,
I was wondering what I would put for the canadian importance of an gelato shop. The gelato is really good but i don't think that that is what you mean. Could you please explain this?
thank you,
Sarah Rose
P.S. I am currently righting this leaning over my humidifier with a cup of lemon tea.
I meant writing
ummm, Sarah that part of the assignment may not apply to you :) Don't sweat it. If you wanted to, you might talk about the importance of small or local businesses and their impact on the community around them.
Feel better soon. Our whole house smells like Vicks.
Mrs.Cosburn just making sure a stigma is the use of stereotypes and labels when describing someone so is it okay if i wrote about a movie that i watched .
thanks Mrs. Cosburn
Sarah
Totally Yordanos! It is very much related to stereotypes and preconceived notions. People don't talk about having a mental illness because of the stigma associated with it. They don't want to be judged because people see it as a negative label or mark.
You are welcome Sarah!
Mrs. Cosburn,
Just confirming: The example of Stigma has to be half a page?? Also, does it have to be an example that we saw this weekend or in the past?
Katie :)
About a 1/2 page paragraph. I think it's okay if it was in the past (we'd actually never know except for the fact that you are wonderfully honest).
The point is to understand stigma and to bring awareness to it.
Okay thank you! :) Have a god weekend :)
Thank you Katie, you too. It's c-c-c-cold!
Hey Ms.Cosburn it's Lilly from 87 I was just wondering what exactly are we supposed to do for our paragraph on stigma. I have no idea!!!
Hi Lilly,
Mr. Del Sol asks that you pay extra attention on the weekend to find an example of stigma or someone who is stigmatized. This can be in your experience or in the media. It is very closely related to stereotypes. I told one student, for example, that no one wants to sit beside the person on the streetcar who is talking to themselves or who isn't clean? Why? Are they being stigmatized? Do we have a negative label for this person? Have they ever hurt or wronged us personally? etc.
For the stigma homework are we supposed to write how we see and feel about the person or how you see other people treat the person? And can it be people or you being nice and respecful? I'm confused.
OK, thanks Ms.Cosburn!
Hi Leda,
Any example. You don't have to involved at all. Remember to keep names confidential. It can be something you observe anywhere.
When is the canadian project due??
Feb 22nd
Hey Ms.Cosburn!
For the canadian business project, how long should the timeline be? Also, isn't a "brief history" the same thing as a timeline???
when will we have computer time
-maple, Joanna, Yordanos
Maple, Joanna and Yordanos. I will get back to you.
Sabine. I see the timeline as a visual, an actual line with dates and the brief history is more detailed and a written paragraph. On another note, not ALL points will apply to every company.
Okay 8-8, LISTEN UP!
You will have computer lab on Tuesday, Feb. 14th, Day 2 periods 3&4 AND Thursday, Feb. 16th, Day 4 periods 5&6.
Ms C, like both of my races will probably be around maybe 10-10:30
Ok. Good for you for having a personal best!!! Are you moving on?
Thank-You!
(for your answer and the extension!)
can we do 2 seperate models of versailles and not all the gardens and fountains (the main palce parts instead)
thank you
Sarah,
Of course! It's MASSIVE!
wait, so the paris project isn't due until next week????
that's right. Aren't you glad you checked the blog? :)
what if you've been stuck inside except going to hockey? and you haven't been out? what do you do for an example of stigma?
Watch tv, go online, ask your family, think about how society treats people. What makes people ashamed? Is it themselves or does society tell them that they should feel ashamed? There are many examples.
If we are typing the paragraph, what size font would you want the words to be in?
The standard is 12 point font.
It does not have to be typed. Relax guys. Enjoy the weekend.
Mrs. Cosburn
I still have no idea what to do for tomorrow. I still don't totally understand what a stigma is and I don't know how to right the paragraph. Could you please explain? I'm really worried
Thanks,
Sarah Rose
Stop worrying. look it up in the dictionary and try to link it to ignorance. If you can, link it to ignorance in history. I talked about how Muslim people were unjustly stigmatized after 9/11 because people were ignorant. We tend to fear what we don't know or understand. People label people as "Crazy" and sometimes fear them for no good reason. People feel ashamed about talking about their mental illness because of the stigma. Mental illness does not only mean schizophrenia. It can be anxiety. The more people talk about it, the more people can be supported. Does that help?
Yordanos asked about "the canadian project" and you said it was due on the 22nd. I was wondering if that was the Canadian business project or something different that i don't know about.

Canadian Business project. The bristol board/ industry one.
Ok, thanks

Thanks Mrs. Cosburn
