1. Review
2. Today, in socials we began by talking about the Victorian Era (1837-1901). Queen Victoria greatly influenced this period and that her influence extended outside of Britain to Canada and the United States.
We then looked at some photos from the Victorian Era and I explained how the Victorians were very sure of themselves and put high value on personal modesty and on gravity. The Queen was a model of her era and that the British saw themselves as the center of the known world.
Victorians believed that they should strive to find the golden mean or golden middle, which is the desirable middle between two extremes, one of excess and the other of deficiency.
We then watched a film called the Crystal palace (link here). The palace was built to contain an exhibition similar to a modern day EXPO. The exhibition demonstrated the ingenuity and achievement of the British Empire. The film also discussed how imperialism brought great riches to Britain, as well as, increased its power. We will watch the second half of the clip on Monday.

2. Defining inference: a conclusion reached on the basis of evidence and reasoning.
| synonyms: | deduction, conclusion, reasoning, conjecture, speculation, guess, presumption, assumption, supposition, reckoning, extrapolation |
Example 1
You’re about to enter a classroom. It’s 8:57, and there is lots of chatter coming from inside the room.
–> You infer that there’s a 9:00 class that hasn’t started yet.
In
this example, we have some basic evidence (the time and the noise), and
we can infer that class hasn’t started yet. We can’t be sure that the
inference is correct, but it’s reasonable to reach this conclusion
anyway.1. He/she knows every detail of the story.
The omniscient narrator knows everything – even what the characters are thinking and feeling. As such, the readers have more information about what’s going on in the story than the protagonists do themselves.2. He/she explain instead of suggest.
The omniscient narrator interprets what is happening, makes judgments, and thoroughly analyzes the characters’ actions and behaviors. As a result, not much is left to the readers’ imagination.3. He/she is reliable.
As the omniscient narrator has access to every detail of the story, his testimony is much more plausible than that of, say, a witness character. This element of reliability can be a good choice for novels set in a fantasy world.4. He/she can represent the author’s voice.
The omniscient narrator tells the story from the outside. Therefore, he can sometimes be identified with the author, particularly if he makes value judgments or subjective remarks.5. He/she can jump in time and space.
This type of narrator can move instantly from scene to scene and from setting to setting. He can go back and forth in time and omit unnecessary events.6. He/she has control over the characters.
The omniscient narrator can control what every character thinks or feels, but this all-knowing capacity prevents the readers from looking at the facts through the hero’s eyes. That is better achieved when the protagonist himself (or herself) narrates the story. I’ll explain this in more detail later on.3. Working on your packages!

1. Review: Victorian Era. ... Politics were important to the Victorians;
they believed in the perfection of their evolved representative
government, and in exporting it throughout the British Empire. This age saw the birth and spread of political movements, most notably socialism, liberalism and organised feminism.
The Industrial Revolution rapidly gained pace during Victoria's reign because of the power of steam. Victorian engineers developed bigger, faster and more powerful machines that could run whole factories. This led to a massive increase in the number of factories (particularly in textile factories or mills).
Lets look at an invention timeline: Victorian Timeline
2. Library For our Group Presentations
3. Mind Maps:
A Mind Map is a highly effective way of getting information in and out of your brain - it is a creative and logical means of note-taking and note-making that literally "maps out" your ideas.
All Mind Maps have some things in common. They have a natural organizational structure that radiates from the center and use lines, symbols, words, color and images according to simple, brain-friendly concepts. Mind mapping converts a long list of monotonous information into a colorful, memorable and highly organized diagram that works in line with your brain's natural way of doing things.
1. 11 X 17 paper
2. Can be drawn images or photocopies (for those non-drawers)
3. There must be a central image with minimum five topics radiating out from the central image: Use those from the jigsaw: ( be sure to remember the Gorilla and Emily Stowe are not Topics but subtopics: Gorilla's with travel and Emily Stowe with Medicine)
4. Use arrows to radiate out from central image to the topics. Use the pictures and a few words like a trigger to your memory about why these things were significant to the Victorian Era.
5. Look at the photo: to see what you should all be thinking about and use the examples to help. I do not have an example of one that uses photocopied pictures. You will not lose marks for photocopied pictures!
6. Be sure to use different fonts in your titles and subheadings.

I know we would like to say, " Oh, it is just a movie it is not important." However, I disagree. While documentaries and non-fictional accounts may be the most accurate way to understand history, often the best way to capture the true emotional weight of historical events is to portray them dramatically. For centuries humans have been setting their dramas in the past in order to show people how past events shape their lives in the present. And, from the dramas of Shakespeare to the best historical movies of the modern era, most of us feel truly connected to the past by immersing ourselves in fictionalized stories more so than straightforward factual reports.
So...not just a movie and opportunity to live a few hours in the past and experience what may of happened from a bird's eye view.
