Bees at RW Norton Art Foundation, Shreveport; why shouldn't Magnet have bee hives, too?
Gepgraphy students, let's explore a plan to contact Hummer & Sons, local beekeepers, to add hives to the Magnet campus.
Are you aware of the precipitous loss of bees across the country?
"The decline in the US bee population, first observed in 2006, is continuing, a phenomenon that still baffles researchers and beekeepers.
Data from the US Department of Agriculture show a 29 percent drop in beehives in 2009, following a 36 percent decline in 2008 and a 32 percent fall in 2007.
This affects not only honey production but around 15 billion dollars worth of crops that depend on bees for pollination.
Scientists call the phenomenon "colony collapse disorder" that has led to the disappearance of millions of adult bees and beehives and occurred elsewhere in the world including in Europe.
Researchers have looked at viruses, parasites, insecticides, malnutrition and other environmental factors but have been unable to pinpoint a specific cause for the population decline," says breitbart.com.

Because of the British Empire, we look for this sign when traveling in almost any nation
Water Closet, as a word for restroom, was a term spread across the globe during the time of the British Empire (1600's - 1900's).
Signage in places such as train stations, parks and hotels is usually abbreviated to WC.
You'll see signs for the WC on every continent and even in nations that were not technically owned by the British.
It's a term even used in some classes at Magnet.

Indie work (independent): building bonus points and raising the average in geography / Trudeau
How to excel in geography class - and at Magnet
Trudeau's web site notes print-out
High school is a game. Suss each teacher's game rules and you'll feel better and better. You will find that each instructor has particular priorities and patterns. Eventually will be able to sense and anticipate how to excel under each teacher.
Students under Robert Trudeau:
1. Slow down as you read and research the answers on the quizzes. Focus. Work on the accuracy of your reading.
Have a print-out of your web site notes. Use a highlighter. Read the web site entries every night.
2. Do Indie Work, aka bonus credit work. Each week I'll put topics on MondoTrudeau that will allow you to find a good assignment. The comparison essays you write will be not be easy to compose, but you will earn important points. Indie work must be submitted via GoogleDocs.
See the essay guidelines under Comparison Essays.
3. Tutoring via after-school time or via email. If you would like extra help, I will be happy to explain and to guide you. Thursday and Fridays are good days for me to work with you. Drop me a line at trudeau11@gmail.com to set a day.

No question that Otzi's an indigenous fellow
Otzi is one of the most famous aboriginal people on the planet. Some 5000 years ago he died on a mountaintop in the Austrian Alps. Some 20 years ago he was discovered in a frozen state where he had lain since 3000 BC.
Today we know a great deal about him from his clothing, weapons, his skin and even his DNA.
See more about here about Otzi the Ice man.

Project on the Five Themes of Geography as they apply to Shreveport
Students will add color to a one-sheet project based on a map of Shreveport-Bossier that includes notes illustrating The 5 Themes of Geography and the municipality of Shreveport. In group work students will also compose 9 multiple-choice questions based on the 5 Themes material. Include answers. Up to 5 pts to be awarded in class.
* Location
- Relative Location - Shreveport is 3 hours east of Dallas. It is 4 hours drive north of Houston. It is also over 6 hours drive north of New Orleans.
- Absolute Location - Shreveport: 32N, 94W

Basics of geography: the projections used in constructing maps
Goal: that students demonstrate knowledge that there are many ways to scientifically create maps.
See this article and illustrations at the US Geological Survey site.
A map projection is used to portray all or part of the round Earth on a flat surface. This cannot be done without some distortion.
Every projection has its own set of advantages and disadvantages. There is no "best" projection.
The mapmaker must select the one best suited to the needs, reducing distortion of the most important features.
Mapmakers and mathematicians have devised almost limitless ways to project the image of the globe onto paper. Scientists at the U. S. Geological Survey have designed projections for their specific needs—such as the Space Oblique Mercator, which allows mapping from satellites with little or no distortion.
This document gives the key properties, characteristics, and preferred uses of many historically important projections and of those frequently used by mapmakers today.
Which ones best suit your needs?
Every flat map misrepresents the surface of the Earth in some way. No map can rival a globe in truly representing the surface of the entire Earth. However, a map or parts of a map can show one or more—but never all—of the following: True directions. True distances. True areas. True shapes.
For example, the basic Mercator projection is unique; it yields the only map on which a straight line drawn anywhere within its bounds shows a particular type of direction, but distances and areas are grossly distorted near the map's polar regions.
On an equidistant map, distances are true only along particular lines such as those radiating from a single point selected as the center of the projection. Shapes are more or less distorted on every equal-area map. Sizes of areas are distorted on conformal maps even though shapes of small areas are shown correctly. The degree and kinds of distortion vary with the projection used in making a map of a particular area. Some projections are suited for mapping large areas that are mainly north-south in extent, others for large areas that are mainly east-west in extent, and still others for large areas that are oblique to the Equator.
The scale of a map on any projection is always important and often crucial to the map's usefulness for a given purpose. For example, the almost grotesque distortion that is obvious at high latitudes on a small-scale Mercator map of the world disappears almost completely on a properly oriented large-scale Transverse Mercator map of a small area in the same high latitudes. A large-scale (1:24,000) 7.5-minute USGS Topographic Map based on the Transverse Mercator projection is nearly correct in every respect.
A basic knowledge of the properties of commonly used projections helps in selecting a map that comes closest to fulfilling a specific need.

Holistic teaching: kinesiology, oxygenation and stress relief
If I teach you ways to stimulate your brain and relax your muscles then your overall performance at school may be enhanced. It's part of holistic teaching.
Some guiding ideas -
Teachers can design holistic teaching practices, says the Univ of Wisconsin, by creating lessons which incorporate learning experiences from all three domains: the cognitive (thinking), the affective (feeling), and the psychomotor or physical (kinesthetic, tactile, and/or physical).
Kinesiology, from the Greek words kinesis (movement) and kinein (to move), also known as human kinetics, is the science of human movement. It is a regulated health profession that focuses on physical activity.[1]
Oxygenation occurs when oxygen molecules (O2) enter the tissues of the body. For example, blood is oxygenated in the lungs, where oxygen molecules travel from the air and into the blood.
The body’s natural relaxation response is a powerful antidote to stress. Relaxation techniques such as deep breathing, visualization and progressive muscle relaxation can help you activate this relaxation response.

Fifth anniversary of the flooding of New Orleans and decimation of the Gulf Coast by Hurricane Katrina
In important ways the hurricane spared New Orleans: winds and rain were manageable. But the larger pattern of storm winds pushed massive amounts of water into channels and canals around the Crescent City.
Then the levees failed.
The breaching of the levees by high waters produced the flooding that devastated New Orleans.
Here's the Times-Picayune (Nola.com) interactive description of the disaster.
Along the Mississippi Gulf Coast the winds, rain and tidal surge of Katrina were cataclysmic. In Louisiana, the small city of Slidell was horribly stricken by high winds and storm-forced flooding.
Thus "Katrina" was a true monster.

Indigenous peoples: the original inhabitants
The adjective indigenous has the common meaning of "from" or "of the original origin".
Indigenous peoples are people, communities, and nations who claim a historical continuity and cultural affinity with societies endemic to their original territories that developed prior to exposure to the larger connected civilization associated with Western culture, says Wikipedia.
Other terms for indigenous peoples include aborigines, aboriginal people, native people, first people, fourth world cultures and autochthonous.

What does a Hydrologist do?
One of the themes of geography class is water and its scarcity and how to share it smartly.
Hydrology is the study of the movement, distribution, and quality of water throughout the Earth, says Wikipedia, including the hydrologic cycle and water resources. A practitioner of hydrology is a hydrologist, working within the fields of either earth or environmental science, physical geography, geology or civil and environmental engineering.
Domains of hydrology include hydrometeorology, surface hydrology, hydrogeology, drainage basin management and water chemistry, where water plays the central role. Oceanography and meteorology are not included because water is only one of many important aspects.
Hydrological research can inform environmental engineering, policy and planning.
The term hydrology is from Greek: ὕδωρ, hydōr, "water"; and λόγος, logos, "study".

Fruit or nuts as a school day snack, rather than crunchy Cheetos (which, in truth, I love)
The theme of holistic teaching means we should try to reach each learner through a variety of means. Thus I care about establishing healthy snacking patterns for students at Magnet.
Bring a fruit or nut snack to class in the next class for a bonus of 2 pts.
