Today's schedule is C-D-Lunch-B-A
C - Criminology 12 - Today you'll start with your final quiz in the course (property crime, White collar and organized crime, and public order crimes). When finished we're off to the library to do two things: 1. finish any missing blog entries that you have yet to complete for assessment; and 2. begin work on your seminar assignment for next week.
A Reminder that the blog topics and dates are:
Blog # 7 (Monday, May 31st) Can Corporations Commit Murder?
Blog # 6 (Tuesday, May 25th) Auto Theft
Blog # 5 (Tuesday, May 18th) Clifford Olson & Marc Lepine
Blog # 4 (Monday, May 10th) Sexual Assault
Blog # 3 (Monday, May 3rd) Short & Long term Impacts of Crime Victims
Blog # 2 (Monday, April 26th) Crime and Deviance
Blog # 1 (Tuesday, April 20th) Personal Theory of Crime Causation
If you're finished all of your blog entries then you can begin to research your seminar topic. Instead of an essay or a survey of criminological theory worksheet I thought I'd give you the opportunity to spend some time looking at something that really interests you in Criminology. So basically I'd like to have a seminar on Wednesday and Thursday where you have up to five minutes to present information on a criminology topic to the class. You can look at a specific crime, a specific criminal, a specific criminological theory, a criminal justice & enforcement technique that reduces crime, or any other criminological topic but it really should be of interest to you.
So if you're really interested in gangs you can choose that (what they do, how they do it, where they operate). If you're really interested in a specific gang you can choose that (the Hells Angels or the Bandidos). If you're really interested in how police infiltrate gangs you can choose that.
What should this look like? You'll have five minutes and you can use either your blog or powerpoint or some web based resource for graphic information. Tell the class what you found out about your topic and why it interests you.
B - Social Studies 10 - Today you are in the library for your third day of research on the Economy of BC assignment (pamphlet). Take a look at Wednesday's blog entry for both an explanation of the assignment and a list of URL's that you can use to find information on each of the six sectors.
A - Earth & Space Science 11 - Today and Monday are the LAST two days in the library to work on your major semester long project. You can find the assignment on the school computers in K:\Mr. A. Young\Earth and Space Science 11\Earth and Space Science Major Project.pdf. Remember that your entire project is due two weeks from today. You will need to submit all sixteen completed pages (including the eight that you've already submitted). Remember that your topics need to be related to class discussions or subjects covered in the course AND you need to have a research component.
Pau Hana!
Nestled away, in the back corner of G.P. Vanier, you'll find room 115 (we used to be 611). Lurking in the shadows of this room is Mr. Young...waiting to pounce on unsuspecting students and natter on about volcanoes, hail, psychopathy, criminal law defenses, cultural diffusion, media theories, crime, and urban models of city development. He loves his job in 115 and can't wait to work with you this year.
