British governing policy

As a British official, I realize there are many alternatives to governing Quebec. I have chose the policy of isolation, this will ensure that the colony will remain under British control and provide wealth for our glorious country. I have chosen the policy isolation because of the idea that everyone can stay in the country and have their own land and have their own communities, the French could run their territory with their laws, religion and culture. The First Nations could run their territory with their laws, religion and culture, and the British, we can run our territories the way we want too. We can charge taxes for lands in the other territories to make a profit off the French and the First Nations. We can ensure when they farm they can give us food so we can thrive. This is the best policy for us to follow. If we chose Deportation then we would have to pay money to ship the people to other places, we would have to pay money for these people’s lands, and new homes. We wouldn’t have many people to maintain the land and have no one to farm for us. We wouldn’t be able to charge taxes on them. The only problem with isolation is the people can’t connect with other cultures and will not learn from others, I think it’s very important for the people to learn things from the First Nations, and the French because they have many things to teach and share. also isolation would be the best policy because it does keep the people away from each other so their isn’t as much conflict. As I have outlined above, I believe the best policy for governing Quebec is isolation, this will ensure that the colony will remain under British control and provide wealth for our glorious country.

Bard on the beach reflection

I think that the work shop was a valuable because of all of the experiences and the acting part, it was good to perform and talk in front of large groups of people. I enjoyed some of the games we played. i really disliked that we had to stand up during all of the activity. The English department should do something like this again, but I would rather watch a performance done by bard on the beach.

In the end we all did our part the way we wanted to, it turned out very good. I think next time I do a project like this I would split the work into different sections, like one person finds the videos, one finds picture and someone finds information. We all used our class time very wisely so we didn’t need to do very much homework. Next time I might start off with the harder parts and finish off with easier stuff. In my mind this is the best sway I’ve ever created in all of grade 9, I’m very proud of my work.

Marfan syndrome- by Jacob Mitchell

Marfan syndrome

part 1: mutation story

I am a single cell in Isaiah’s body, Isaiah was born with me. I am what they call “a genetic disorder”. I affect the bodies connective tissue, the connective tissue is used to hold organs, tissue and all of us cells together. I cause the tissues be weakened, I feel bad for what I’m doing, but that’s what the nucleus is telling me to do. Marfan syndrome is caused from a defect or a mutation, in the gene that determines the structure of fibrillin-1, the gene is called FBN1. Fibrillin-1 attaches to other fibrillin-1 proteins and molecules to form threadlike filaments called microfibrils. I cause Isaiah Austin to have extra height, he is thinner than most, Isaiah has much larger hands and feet then most and he has an arm span that exceeds his height. Isaiah is a basketball player joining the NBA this year, in Isaiah’s case I am a benefit, because all of those attributes help basketball players. I usually find my buddies and I effecting bones, eyes, joints, heart and blood vessels. Isaiah can’t get rid of us, but he can get treated with an operation or surgery. We cause some pain, mostly in the joints though. We are a harmful syndrome because we cause pain, and the tissue is weaker, and also we give the body some defects.

 

 

Part 2: The Making of Mutation Story

I used a bunch of different questions like, how is the syndrome treated?, what is Marfan syndrome?, how does one get the disorder?, I used what happens to the gene?, what causes the mutation?, and Marfan syndromes effects on the body. I didn’t use many new tools, but I used a large variety of websites. During theprocess at the beginning I used the questions that helped me get started then, I looked at cool facts, and at the end I searched for more questions that I was curious about.
To verify the information I found I looked on a couple of different websites and if I saw the same stuff more than once, I assumed it was a true statement.
I think next time I do this project I will get to work earlier and not procrastinate as much, and also I would cite my sources better.

Questions:
