Today's schedule is B-A-Lunch-D-C.Hau`oli Lā Hānau to my son Noah who turns 13 today.
B- Earth and Space Science 11 - Today we will continue our work on the Geologic Journey Appalachian video questions from yesterday. We will watch the Planet Earth video on mountains and begin to understand not just how the mountains were created but also begin to understand the flora and fauna that exist on them. Over today and tomorrow you'll need to work on "For Review" questions 2, 3, 5, 6, 7, 10, 11and 13 from page 214 in your text.
A - Law 12 - Today we will finish the video about the recreation of the Stanley Milgram experiment. This relates to the Shepardsville, Kentucky McDonald's sexual assault case and legal duty as a criminal law defence. After you'll finish up your questions from page 141 (8, 9, 10, & 11) and then our review of the Lyn Lavallee case (see yesterday's blog notes). The final activity we'll work on is the cartoon activity on criminal law defences:
Create a comic strip that shows and explains five (5) separate criminal law defences (alibi, self-defence, legal duty, excusable conduct, mental disorder, intoxication, automatism, consent, entrapment, mistake of fact, and double jeopardy). You will need to show the person committing the crime (choose a crime out of the Criminal Codes that I have in the class) and then you need to show how that person could defend themselves in a court of law.
D - Geography 12 - Today we're looking at glaciers and we'll make sense of both how they erode the landscape and the landforms they create. We'll understand the differences amongst the various alpine and continental glaciers and we'll define: cirque, arete, pyramidical peak, hanging valley, truncated spur, esker, drumlin, kettle lake, and fjord. You will work on questions 3, 8, and 12 from page 587 in your Geosystems text and if you finish early you can get started on your topographic map of Medicine Hat that we will work through tomorrow.
