A - Law 12 - Today you'll have the class to continue working on your Criminal Law Defenses activity. Remember that this activity is due Wednesday (November 13th) and your Criminal Law test is on that day as well. The test is on all of the material that we have covered in our criminal law unit (Chapters 3, 7, 8, and the last section of Chapter 5 in All About Law). Please take some time to review your notes and questions that you have had returned to you in the "outbox" in the class.
B- Earth and Space Science 11 - Today we'll complete our Tectonics Unit Final test. This test will take the bulk of the class (as we have a shortened block for the Remembrance Day assembly). If you took some time to study and were prepared, I'm certain that you will do fine on the test.
C - Introduction to Law 9/10 - Welcome to Introduction to Law, also known as Law & Order: Vanier and sometimes known as CSI: Vanier. This term class is a very short but exciting look at criminal law in Canada. The course is organized much like an episode of Law & Order. The first two weeks of the course deal with criminological studies (the study of crime - we will focus on why crime is committed). The next month of the class deals with criminal forensics and detective investigation. The last three weeks of the class deals with the "order" component of Law & Order where we'll follow the process of arrest, trial, and sentencing for crimes committed. Each week we spend Monday in the Library either doing some research on a specific topic or preparing our major project. We also spend each Friday watching an episode of of CSI, Law & Order, Cold Case Files, Millennium, Criminal Minds, or Forensic Files (but there's always a question about what you watch). There are only 43 classes in the term so attendance and keeping on top of your work are crucial elements of a successful grade in the class. Today I want you to brainstorm a list of all the reasons you can think why someone would commit a crime and we'll collect all of your ideas on the board.
D - Geography 12 - Your Medicine Hat Topographic Maps are due today...no extensions! Today we will look at deserts and desert environments. We'll see what Tim & Moby have to say about deserts and we'll analyze the different types of deserts. You'll define alluvial fan, playa, yardang, and sand dune. You'll have a question on desertification and there are some good websites to help here:
United Nations Convention to Combat Desertification
USGS Desertification page
Green Facts Scientific page on Desertification
If there's time we'll watch the Planet Earth video on deserts. Do not forget that you have a unit final test on Wednesday. Thanks to those people who played the flooding game on the weekend, so far Troy has the highest score...Nice work.
One week left until Geography Awareness Week!
