A picture is worth a 1,000 words.

Pick one of the images.  Each image can only be claimed twice (i.e. by two users).  After two comments are written on the image it expires (i.e. no longer usable).
If a picture is worth a thousand words then it should be extremely easy to come up with 300 words.
This is a mission in brevity.
Your task = Level 3 = Meeting the provincial standard = 300 words.
(Level 4 = Reaching 400 words and/or including more than 2 external references which support your description).  That's right, I've only included level 3 and 4 - you'll note they are very similar to our regular evaluation scheme.
I'm assuming none of you are aiming for level 2?
*Remember to link your thoughts and opinions to a Global/Canadian society perspective (i.e. more than just your own personal bubble).


This is a sort of ping pong exercise.  Rather than skim the weekly news I will provide you with the images (below).  Make a comment which describes the issue(s) at hand AND include your opinion on the matter.  Use of secondary and primary references is encouraged.  When the second person decides to comment on the first users comment, the 2nd will reply to them and either expand, refutre, or bring new issues into the light.
Enjoy!

Welcome to Term 2

This week we will try an alternate assignment.  Instead of posting on weekly news events, I will post web links to several websites which you will then critique.
