Monday's schedule is C-D-Lunch-B-A.

D - Geography 12 - Today we will begin our look at topographic maps and remote sensing. Today's class will be very important as we will explain how to read and interpret a topographic map. We will work on a topographic map tomorrow in class so please remember to bring your Canadian Landscape AND your Geosystems textbooks to class. If you are not in class today please contact a friend in the class to get the notes and spend some time on the following websites

A reminder that you have homework to hand in today (time, location, latitude & longitude,GIS, and GPS questions)

B- Earth and Space Science 11 - Today we will begin our first lab in the course. The lab is on mineral identification and you and a partner need to work through the mineral identification cart in class today. We will continue working on this tomorrow. Just a reminder...your Chapter 1 review was due on Friday of last week and 19 of you handed it in on time. Those of you who did not hand in the review please see me as soon as possible.

A - Law 12 - We've finished the first chapter in Law and today you'll need to hand in the work that I assigned you on Friday (chapter 1 review questions). Today we will have a discussion in class about your rights that you have guaranteed through various legal documents in Canada (including the Charter of Rights and Freedoms). Expect to partner up and be prepared to present some ideas to the rest of the class.
