A - Introduction to Law 9/10 - Today you'll write your third quiz of the course on the work from last week. After the quiz we will continue our look at criminal forensics by looking at how investigators estimate time of death, how fingerprints are "lifted" at a crime scene (including what AFIS is), what the "Four T's" are for marks at a scene, how fibres are used, and what ballistics is. After you'll have time to work on your Clue Us In crime scene reconstruction activity in class. Tomorrow we'll do our fingerprinting activity and Thursday we look at the use of DNA and try to understand the process of analyzing it and you'll have a crime to try and solve in class.
C - Law 12 - Today we will go over the elements necessary for a negligence case to move forward. We will understand: Duty of Care; Standard of Care (including foreseeability and the reasonable person's test); Causation; and Actual Loss (real loss or injury). Included in this will be understanding the legal principle res ipsa loquitur (the facts speak for themselves). We'll go over the precedent setting Donoghue v. Stevenson (1932) case along with a few other negligence related cases on pages 294-296 of the All About Law textbook and then you'll have time to continue working on your case study project.
D - Geography 12 - Today we are in the library for day two of research for our severe weather power point project. Remember that there are these things in the library called "books"; you may remember what they look like...there are paper pages with pictures and information on them bound together. Sarcasm aside please remember that you will need to have at least one print (book or magazine) source for your presentation. I have books in my room on severe weather that you might want to look at. The purpose of this project is to learn about severe weather and your topic in depth. Please do not plagiarize work and present it as if it were your own. Show me what you have learned. Tomorrow will be our last day to work on this during class time so don't get lost on youtube watching videos of people getting struck by lightning or hit by hail (no matter how cool that is!) Having said that the Discovery Channel has a great series called Raging Planet with some cool video footage that you could embed in your power point presentation here: Discovery Channel Raging Planet
