1 First Assignment: Welcome! Welcome to The Link! Choosing to complete courses through Distributed Learning is an exciting choice! You have the opportunity to complete work at your own pace, at times of the day that work for you. Courses typically take hours to complete, so plan to work at least 30 minutes per school day to complete this course in the one year permitted. That means your first goal should be to have about 10% of the course complete within one month. Of course, working more quickly is highly recommended. Success in Distributed Learning is dependent on a few things: Communication: It is essential you communicate with your teacher(s) when you have questions. If you don t ask, we don t know! Send an as soon as you have a question, and you will receive a response within one school day. You can also book a time to come in and see your teacher if it s easier to talk things through (it sometimes is). If your teacher s you, please respond in a polite manner using proper language (i.e., capitalize I ) within a reasonable timeframe. Make sure you state your name and which course you are working on. Read Carefully: Since you don t have a teacher in front of you explaining the instructions, it is very important to read instructions carefully to make sure you are meeting the learning outcomes for the course. If you don t understand any of the instructions, please ask! Engage: Success in Distributed Learning depends on you, the student, being self-motivated and being interested in completing your work. No one can force you to do this: you must make the choice to log into the program on a regular basis and submit work. The Link expects you will be logging in on a regular basis and setting and meeting reasonable goals. Failure to do so may result in withdrawal from the course(s). You have made the first step by reading page 1! Now, keep reading to begin the first assignment for. Read carefully. When you are done, follow the instructions for handing your initial assignment in to the teacher and moving forward in the course. Please let me know if you have any questions. Thanks, Emily Kirzinger, Teacher
2 First Assignment: Introduction to is a course that is required for graduation in British Columbia. As of 2004, students are required to write a Provincial Exam. To be eligible to write the provincial exam, all the course work must be complete and meet the learning outcomes at least two weeks prior to the exam. Students must declare their intention to write the provincial exam, in writing, to the teacher at least two weeks prior to the exam. Times and frequency for provincial exams are determined by the Ministry and students must write in a designated location to be determined in consultation with the teacher. A complete list of prescribed learning outcomes for this course can be found at the Ministry of BC website: Learning Outcomes is divided into 3 units: Human Geography You will begin this unit in the Initial Assignment. The entire unit is worth 25% of your final course grade, while the Initial Assignment is worth 5%. Human Geography covers topics such as poverty, the Demographic Transition Model, and Environmental Challenges. You will also learn about writing a Social Studies essay in this unit. Government and Law This unit is also worth 25% of your final course grade. It covers the structures of Canadian government at the Municipal, Provincial and Federal Levels, as well as our Charter of Rights and Freedoms and legal system. History The History Unit of is worth 50% of your overall course grade. It covers Canadian History through the 1900s, which includes World War I and World War II, the time spent in between the wars, and Canada in the Post-WWII world. When you have completed all the coursework for, you will write the Provincial Exam. Exams are offered throughout the year, so you will write the next available sitting. If you are working towards Adult Graduation, the Provincial exam is not required.

6 HG2: The Demographic Transitional Model Watch the HG2 Powerpoint available on YouTube: Additional explanation video clip on YouTube: Assignment: Illustrate each of the 5 stages of the Demographic Transitional Model. Each stage should have at least 2 graphics. Choose graphics that depict your understanding of each stage, and provide captions to explain why you chose the pictures you did. Be sure to include the website URL where you found your images. Example: Please note for the example I have only included 1 graphic, but you need to include 2 per stage. Stage 1: Pre-Modern, Pre-Industrial URL: Explanation: I chose this picture from the Rwandan genocide to illustrate Stage 1 because at the time (1994), birth rates and death rates were high in Rwanda because of ethnic fighting that killed hundreds of thousands in a short period of time. I believe that is indicative of a pre-modern culture, because they resorted to such violence. Also, birth rates in Africa at the time were very high due to a lack of medical care, technology, women s rights, and development.
7 Stage 2: Urbanizing/Industrializing Explanation: I chose this picture from India to illustrate Stage 2 because India is a country rapidly urbanizing and industrializing. However, they are still learning and have troubles with large amounts of air and vehicle pollution and congestion in major cities. They still have a lot to learn. URL: Stage 3: Maturing/Industrializing Explanation: I chose this picture from Saudi Arabic for Stage 3, because it clearly shows a link to industrialization and modernization (being in a mall) with tradition (women wearing the Burka) which may impede women s rights, including family planning and education. URL: Stage 4: Post Industrial Explanation: I chose this picture from the Gold Medal Olympic 2010 hockey game to illustrate Stage 4 because it was a great moment in Canadian history. Canada is in stage 4, and our excellent health care, low involvement in violent conflicts, and our ability to host the 2010 Winter Olympics because of our economic stability exemplify this.
8 URL: Medal-Leap.htm Stage 5: De-Industrializing Explanation: I chose this picture of very modern architecture because to me, it shows Stage 5, where everything is very modern and people have fewer children, so the overall population decreases. URL: Insert your assignment here.
9 HG3: Demographic Tools Watch the Demographic Tools PowerPoint available on YouTube Need more information on Population Pyramids? Check out here: Answer the following questions: 1. What does the vertical axis on the population pyramid represent? a. Age categories b. Male and female c. Number of population, in male and female d. Percentage of population 2. What type of population pyramid is indicative of a country on the way to being developed? a. Contracting b. Early Expanding c. Expanding d. Stable 3. What does a narrow base to the population pyramid indicate? a. High birth rate b. High population c. Low birth rate d. Low death rate 4. What type of population pyramid is wider at the reproductive age than at the pre-reproductive ages? a. Contracting b. Early Expanding c. Expanding d. Stable
10 5. are graphs that show the age structure of a population by age and gender. 6. What type of population pyramid is depicted in the graphic: Answer: 7. Return to your HG2 assignment - the one where you found graphics that represented each of the five stages of the Demographic Transitional Model. Thought it was over? Not so fast! For Stage 1 through Stage 4, find the current Population Pyramid for a country that you have represented in the picture. You will submit 4 pictures. For example, in the assignment example I used a picture of Rwanda to illustrate Stage 1 of the DTM. So for this assignment, I would find a current Population Pyramid of Rwanda. Make sure you include a URL reference with each population pyramid and a brief explanation of how your population pyramid exemplifies the definition (Early Expanding, Expanding, etc). Insert your assignment here.
