Monday, February 2, 2009

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

A - Social Studies 11 - Welcome to Social Studies 11. Today we will go through the course outline package and get our Counterpoints textbook from the library. We will take the class to orient ourselves to the curriculum and get ready to look at the topic for the week - Regionalism and the challenges to Canada.

B- Social Studies 10 - Welcome to Social Studies 10. Today we will go through the course outline package and get our Challenge of the West textbook from the library. I'll have you draw mental maps of Canada (not from the maps on the wall!) and get you to work in partners on a large scale map. We'll finish these tomorrow and then we'll turn our focus to map reading skills.

C - Criminology 12 - Welcome to Criminology 12. Today we will go through the course outline package and get our Criminology: The Core textbook from the library. I have two questions that I'd like you to brainstorm:
  1. What is the purpose of laws and what is a crime
  2. Why do people commit crime

After a few minutes I'd like you to partner up and get your ideas on a large sheet of paper to share with the class. We'll try to make sense of your ideas and will continue this through tomorrow.
