D- Law 12 - Today we will briefly review yesterday's class on the history of Canadian Law and then we'll move on to try to understand how to read a case citation and work on some case studies in class (R. v. Davis, 1995, and Finnie v. Ropponen, 1987). - NOTE: Obviously as you can tell it is easy to get sidetracked in class. Today we did the two cases and tomorrow we'll wrap up the first chapter.
B- Geography 12 - Today we'll review yesterday's work on time zones, latitude and longitude, GPS, and the remote sensing technology of GIS. We'll watch a Brainpop video on GPS with Tim & Moby and then we'll move on to Topographic maps. Today we'll do a brief introduction to topographic maps and tomorrow I'll show you how to identify location, estimate area, calculate slope, and determine direction on them. Here are a few webpages to help:Natural Resources Canada Toporama

A - Social Studies 11- Today we'll look at the Legislative Branch of the Federal government in Canada starting with the House of Commons. You'll draw a simple form of the diagram below in your notebook and then I'll have three questions for you to answer:
- What is "Caucus" and what does it do?
- What is "Cabinet", what is "Cabinet Solidarity", what happens when you break "cabinet solidarity", how do you get to be a cabinet member, and identify three ministries covered in the federal cabinet?
- What is the "Official Opposition" and what do they do?
Here are some websites to help:
Current Canadian Ministry (Cabinet)
Privy Council Office: About Cabinet
Liberal Party of Canada Official Opposition Critics (Shadow Cabinet)
