Proportional Reasoning Review: Scale Factor


Unit 8 Review 

Question I  got wrong: 

 

What I did the first time: 

1 : 972.5

x :   4

=0.001             Then I cross multiplied

What I should’ve done was:  

1 : 972.5

4 : x

=3890

Then I need to convert the measurement so I divide by 100

=38.9m

Demonstrating proportional reasoning: Question that I got correct 

Similar Triangles:

 

First I redrew the triangles separately so now there are 2 triangles.

Next I take the area from the 2 triangles and write out the ratio

2.4 : 3

x : 8

=6.4

Because it is asking how much farther up the wall will the ladder reach you have to subtract 6.4-2.4=4

  • In what ways were the Black immigrants accepted or not accepted in Canada?
Accepted Not Accepted
Canada was a free country and owning a slave was illegal.

A lot of people felt bad and wanted to help out.

In Canada not everyone agreed and there was still some discrimination.

There was a separate school

Mostly the Black immigrants stayed together and had their own community.

Title: Twelve years of slave

By: by Northup, Solomon, b

Year published : 1968

Quote/Image: He was liberal to a fault; and his many acts of kindness and transparent goodness of heart rendered him popular in the community, the sentiment of which he unceasingly combated. He was a native to Canada.
Interpretation: A Native to Canada is trying to help a slave. The Native to Canada and the slave are becoming friends through acts of kindness.
How might this affect a character or a plot? Along the path to Canada the slave character will run into a Canadian person and together they help each other out and become good friends. They work together and will eventually become inseparable.

Push Factors (In Ireland) Pull Factors (Canada)
Many British owned land and subdivided their lots so that each lot was not large enough to support a family. The effects of this were, you had to sleep with livestock, tried to grow potatoes wherever they could. If you don’t pay rent you get kicked out, first they gave them an eviction notice and if you won’t leave they will tear down the house. The police were the ones who forced the people out of their house. If the people still wouldn’t leave they either tore down the house of lit it on fire to make sure they had nothing to go back to They also kicked people out to re make for livestock.

 

Eventually the potatoes became rotten and started the potato famine. Because of their property being so small they couldn’t grow anything on it so they had find a job to make money and buy food because, they could no longer survive off of potatoes. Irish poor law act creates workhouses for the poor. Eventually the peents had to pay rent in grain.

 

Charles Darwin thought that natural selection drives evolution. He thought all Irish, British, and Africans looked a certain way to benefit themselves and when species breed beyond resources, more favorable variations survive. (Monogenist)

 

Herbert spencer believed that the survival of the fittest applied to society It exists if we remove charity race that is used to determine colonialism. The race was to used to justify exploitation of the lower class. (Polygenist)

 

To get to Canada they had to take a coffin ship. Many people in the coffin ship got sick and spread diseases. Going onto the ship there was a risk that you might die. On the coffin ship there were different levels for different class he Steerage was for the lower class and it wasn’t as nice compared to the upper class. Things were unsanitary and they had to put human waste in a bucket then throw it over board. Before going to Quebec they had to go to Grosse-ile to make sure you weren’t sick. A lot of people were sick so when they got there they died. Today there is a grave yard at the spot the Grosse-ile was located.

 

Many children whose parents died were adopted into French-Canadian families but their Irish names have lived on: Doyle, Murphy, Ryan, Johnson.

 

Religion was a struggles for the Irish. Quebec accepted the Irish Catholics into Quebec because they have the same religion. Outside of Quebec Irish Catholicism was frowned upon by the Protestant majority in other parts of Canada. And in Canada, citizenship was tied to the British Crown

was tied to the British Crown.

Title: The Canadian Press and the Great Irish Famine

Quote/Image:

That with the best-felt thanks to Almighty God for the mercies bestowed on us, the starving conditions of our fellow subjects on Ireland calls for our warmest sympathy and compassion; and that we endeavor with our humble tribute to alleviate their sufferings under the present calamity.

 

Interpretation: People are feeling bad for the Irish and they want to help. Word got out about the potato famine and everyone is feeling bad.
How might this affect a character or a plot? An Irish person is doing really bad on the farm and not making a lot of money. They are close to death and there last hope is the potatoes but when those too eventually die no hope is left. They hear about new beginning in Canada and start their journey to the new country.

I mentioned in class that we didn’t hit record the first time we filmed and didn’t have enough time to finish filming.

Script 

Q. Who won the War of 1812? 

Hailey: The promise the British didn’t keep to the Aboriginal people was the land. British had promised a secured land if they helped fight in the war with them and not against them. So in the end Aboriginals gained nothing. Canada won the war because it brought them closer together with America and they gained land.

Jason: Britain also spends money in Canada, Lower Canada benefited from higher foods price. New Brunswick sold food and supplies, this was good because by selling food it had allowed Canada to make so money.

John Carlo: Canada had way more wins than America some wins for America are they are able to develop peace for the next 100 years. Something good for Canada in the war was it started the foundation we know today.

 

Q. Was the War of 1812 a pointless war?

Hailey: I said yes, but if it didn’t happen America wouldn’t have the same history. Napoleon wouldn’t be so famous and America would have as much history. Without Americas history, America wouldn’t have as much as a reputation for showcasing there accomplishments.

Jason: If Britain would’ve won the war it would’ve made America different than what it is now. For America it wasn’t as pointless  compared to being on the British side if the British would’ve won then they would’ve been happy to of had the war.

John Carlo: It wasn’t that important because no land was claimed in the war but people did get killed. It would’ve been better if the war didn’t happened and they could’ve found a way to keep the “war” more peaceful.

Q. Which parts of this war have the greatest impact on Canada today?

Hailey: When Isaac Broc got shot above the heart his side became unsure of what to do. On Isaac’s side was the British and the Aboriginals. The battle took place in Ontario so they were fighting over land in Canada if the British would’ve won this war they could have taken over this part of Canada.

Jason: This made the french become friendlier with the Canadians. This was a positive for Canada because it could help them in the future in case they have to make an alliance with them and go into battle with another country. They can go into battle knowing they will have more troops and more allies.

John Carlo: If Laura Secord hadn’t of ran 30 km to spread the news she over heard they Americans discussing as they were staying at her house, things could’ve been very different. Its also a good thing the British leader chose to believe her and its very lucky that the Aboriginals found her along they way so they could take her back to their leader.

Q. How was this war part of creating Canadian and American identity today?

Hailey: If Britain won more wars there was a chance we could’ve been closer with them than with America. Some parts of Canada could’ve belonged to the British and it would be weird having a whole bunch of the same countries spread out all over Canada.

Jason: One way both countries were able to develop are, Canada and America are close and even today we are peaceful with each other and we treat them like our neighbours.

John Carlo: If there was no war, there would’ve been no history so in a way all countries have benefited from the war. Especially Canada because it is a free country. If theses wars didn’t t
