Tuesday, June 8. 2010

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

A - Earth & Space Science 11 - Today you need to finish the Atmosphere Worksheets 1-3 and get them handed in to me for marks. I'll post your grades so that you can see how you're doing in the class. I'll also help you with some of the work by looking at Environment Canada's Weather Office and the National Weather Service's Data Streme. We'll look at some synoptic charts (weather maps) and focus on reading isobars, fronts, and active weather.

B - Social Studies 10 - Today we'll begin our work on the economy of BC. Today you'll need to begin an economic glossary for Social Studies 10. You need to define the following terms in your own words (I'll go over some of them with you in the class today):
  1. business cycle
  2. capital (economic)
  3. Consumer Price Index (CPI)
  4. economic consumption
  5. economic demand
  6. economic market
  7. economic sector
  8. economic supply
  9. goods
  10. Gross Domestic Product (GDP)
  11. Gross National Product (GNP)
  12. heartland/hinterland
  13. non-renewable resource
  14. manufacturing based economy
  15. primary industry
  16. renewable resource
  17. resource based economy
  18. secondary industry
  19. services
  20. tertiary industry
  21. pre-Industrial (agricultural) society
  22. Industrial (mechanized) society
  23. post-Industrial (technological) society
Tomorrow we're in the library working our LAST ASSIGNMENT, the sectors of BC's economy.

C - Criminology 12 - Today we'll start a quick look at Social Order crimes. I'll remind you that we already looked at the difference between what is deviant and what is criminal and this small unit covers crimes that straddle the line between the two. We'll look at the legal definition of "obscenity" so that we can understand the difference between the subjective and objective beliefs of obscenity. Tomorrow we'll look at prostitution, pornography, and drug use.
