Tuesday, December 16, 2008

Today's schedule is A-B-Lunch-C-D

A - Law 12 - Today we will spend the entire block working on our civil law case study project.

B- Earth and Space Science 11 - Today we'll go to room 504 to play the Stop Disasters game. The scenario I would like you to work on is the Caribbean Island Hurricane simulation. There is a population of 330 people in your coastal town, but only 180 are currently housed. You will need to develop some housing for the people in the town. You will need to build a hospital, a school, and anchor all the boats in the port. You have a budget of $50,000 to work with and don't forget to develop some defenses to protect people, buildings, and livelihoods. When you click on an object square you will likely get three choices: info, develop, & defences. Read through your options and try to uncover all 15 key facts (which will give you extra points). When you finish keep a track of your highest score (you might get through two games) and respond to this post with things you learned and what your scores were. Have fun playing and learn something.


C - Introduction to Law 9/10
- Today we will continue our look at the law. Last week we focused on who can be arrested and why. This week we'll discuss rights and responsibilities upon arrest along with the steps that the police take in order to arrest and compel someone to show up at trial. Tomorrow we'll look at some criminal law cases.

D - Geography 12 - Today we are going to room 512 to play the Stop Disasters game. The scenario I would like you to work on is the Caribbean Island Hurricane simulation. There is a population of 330 people in your coastal town, but only 180 are currently housed. You will need to develop some housing for the people in the town.
