C - Introduction to Law 9/10 - Today we are going to the library to finish any work you need to get done on your Crime Scene Reconstruction activity. This assignment is due today and I really look forward to discovering just how creative you all are! When you hand in your work you may choose a topic for your next assignment: Forensic Science web page.
For the forensic science web page assignment, you will not have the opportunity to choose a topic for this assignment until you've handed in your previous project. There are many on line web page creation sites (including this site which is kind of like a bloggers for dummies site). Try the following:
http://www.weebly.com/
http://sites.google.com/
http://geocities.yahoo.com/
http://www.webs.com/
Of course the creation of your site is really the last step in the process. Once you've chosen your topic (through me) you will need to get started working on finding information about it. Don't forget there are some fabulous print resources in the library and you must have at least one print source for this assignment. The details for the assignment (criteria) are listed on page 12 of your course book (handout). But here's a review:
It will be your responsibility to create one section of the G.P. Vanier Forensic Science / Criminology web page. You will need to find the following information about your chosen subject topic:
1.A description of your subject which includes an explanation of what is (history, background information, people associated with it, important milestones and discoveries).
2.An explanation of how your topic is collected at the crime scene and the tools that are used to interpret the evidence at the crime lab.
3.An description showing how the subject is used to solve crimes (identifying suspects, showing the cause of death, tracing the source of evidence or identifying a possible alternate crime scene).
4.Graphics - photos, illustrations, and animations that show and explain your subject.
5.Case Study - Provide one example of how your subject was used to solve a real crime.
6.Provide URL’s as links for further investigation of your subject.
Here are some previous examples for you to explore:
Katelyn Clements - Voice Identification
Stephanie Devonshire - Document Analysis
Emily Evans - DNA
Theressa Kozack - Forensic Botany
Annie Nim - Forensic Entomology
Whitney Schaefer - Forensic Odontology
Caitlin Tatham - Forensic Toxicology
D - Law 12 - Today I am giving you the entire block to look through the case study project I introduced to you last week. Feel free to talk with each other about what you think and what cases you may be leaning towards. You should also use your time to finish yesterday's work I gave you as well.
B - Geography 12 - Today we will begin watching Twister; one of the greatest yet dumbest disaster movies of the 1990's. Your job is to identify as many errors in meteorology as possible AND you'll need to figure out which character is MOST like Mr. Young.
Some errors are easy - NO! It is not possible to survive an EF5 tornado strike above ground tethered to drainage pipes. Some are more subtle - the Fujita scale was introduced in 1971 and in the 1969 flashback scene (at the beginning of the film) the weather reporter on the television (portrayed by Oklahoma City KWTV 9 meteorologist Gary England) said an F5 tornado was about to strike...two years before the scale was introduced by Dr. Ted Fujita!
Now as to characters...as I said above there are bits of Mr. Young in most of the characters in the movie your mission (should you choose to accept it) is to figure out who Mr. Young is most like. The mission is not impossible so is it Dr. Jo Harding? Bill Harding? Dustin 'Dusty' Davis? Robert 'Rabbit' Nurick? Jason 'Preacher' Rowe? No, Mr. Young is not like Dr. Melissa Reeves or Dr. Jonas Miller so let's get that over with now :) Let's have some fun with the movie and we'll finish it tomorrow.
A - Social Studies 11 - Today we'll finish the questions I asked you to work on yesterday in class and I'll ask you to add questions 1 & 4 from page 187 and we'll watch a few more episodes of Canada: A People's History to finish up this section. In January we'll spend a week discussing issues between Quebec and the rest of Canada along with the struggles for Aboriginal Canadians in the latter half of the Twentieth Century.
