Grade update

I have now graded Hyun Jin, Joon Hong, Vlad, Bubble, Yi,  Kristyna and Alessio.   Please note your grade and if you would like to know your summative grade thus far, please see me personally.  In addition, I would like to remind you that this week your storyboards should be in and your research should be completed.  You will have Monday, Tuesday and Thursday to complete the above tasks.  Please, for your own sakes, do not limit your working hours to class time.  If you want anything above a C  you must put a serious amount of your own time into your project. 

Here is a great site for research.

Grade update

Thus far, I have read and graded Sang Hag,  Ajnai, Elle, Daniel, and Ido, please refer to my postings.  The rest of your posts will be graded by tomorrow night.  Thus far, I have noticed many of you have struggled with the concepts of a summary and what that all includes and the fragile line between summarizing versus plagiarism (idea along with actual).  We will be working on this skill, as plagiarism is unacceptable and you must learn to be able to articulate your ideas in your OWN words.  For those of you who this pertains to, please take the opportunity to rewrite your article for full credit.  If you have any questions, please see me. 

 For those of you whom I have not yet graded, if my above words apply to you in any way, I would encourage you to fix the problem before tomorrow.

Yi Lin - Women Miners in the English Coal Pits

The article talks about female miners working in the mines. The girls would not have different clothes with the boys, and had to perform regular underground work, same number of hours as boys and men. There is no distinction of sex. The men would work in the mines without any clothing, working with the girls of 6 yrs old to women of 21 yrs old.
The girls would work at a place where was not 2 feet high; some of them were at the age of puberty. Their sex was recognized only by their breasts. They had to go into the mines and fill the corves 18 or 20 times a day. Often, the men would force the girls to have a relationship with them.
Betty Harris went into the mines when she was married. She works from 6am to 6pm, with an hour of lunch time. The mine was always wet; her clothes would be wet all day long. Her cousin would look after her children while she goes to work. She receives family abuses from her husband when she gets home.
Patience Kershaw was another example of the female miners, she was 17, and she had to work from 5 o’clock in the morning to 5 o’clock at night.
