Worksheet #9

A.    Looking on the topographical map on the computer, can you locate the approximate location of the "Donny's" camp?  Now put your estimate on the map you have been tracing Jacob's pathway on.

 

 

B.    What emotions have passed though Jacob starting when he first heard the plane to the end of Chapter 21.   Put down one descriptive word for each change of mood for Jacob.  Here is one example, "frightened."

  •  
  •  
  •  
  •  
  •

C.   Create an anti-poaching poster.  Put whatever image or symbol you want on it.   Make it simple but VERY understandable to whoever reads it.

  • Your anti-poaching poster should be displayed on a wall where other people will see it.

D.   What precautions was Jacob's father taking, so that the poachers would not be able to locate him?

F.   In Jacob's mom's letter, what did she mean by using the word "evolution?"

 

 

 

 

 

G.   The use of the word "evolution" in his mother's letter is VERY appropriate coming from her.  The author has worked hard to make his characters believable (like they really lived). 

  • Look back through the book, and find out what occupation Jacob's mother had?  __________________________

H.   On page 206, Jacob's father says, "I realise that you're holding all the cards ... "  What does he mean by using this expression?

 

 

 

 

 

I.   Now that you have thought of an animal or plant to research.  Look in your library, on the Internet, and any CDs that might have information on your subject.  Record the name of EVERY book, CD or web site you take information from.  You will need this information for your bibliography.

Here is the format you need to record your information in.   Each different kind of "media" has a different format.  Look closeley!

Book Format Comments and Instructions
     Pullman, Philip (1979). The Golden Compass, Random House, Inc. Toronto The first (Last name) word is indented 5 spaces.

The book's name is underlined.
     Pullman, Philip (1993). The Subtle Knife, Random House, Inc. Toronto. pp. 125-126 This is the same author, different book, and this time I am referring to what is written on pages 125 and 126.
Magazines  
     Ratnesar, Romesh (1999). What Good Did It Do?: The air assault battered Iraq, but it hasn't wiped out the threat posed by Saddam's secret lethal arsenal. TIME, (Volume 152 No. 26, pp. 42-47) Richmond Hill, Quebecor Printing. Again, only the name of the book (this time the magazine name) is underlined. Note that any one looking for this article would be able to see that this was the TIME magazine issue that was printed for Canadian use. There are TIME magazines printed for the States, for England and many other countries that have different articles in them. This magazine has a volume, and number issue. The pages that this article is on are listed here.
Internet Site  
     Plonsky, M. (1998). Psychology with style: A hypertext writing guide (Version 3). Retrieved from the Web 9/1/98. http://www.uwsp.edu/acad/psych/apa4b.htm This is the site I got this information from. You can tell who wrote it, when, and where you can find it.

One of the most important things with a web site record, is to record the date you visited it.

Since there is no book --- there is nothing underlined!
Software  
     Encarta (1998) Microsoft CD Since there is no author for something found on a CD, or a page number where you can find the information, all you need is the name of the CD and its publisher and date.
