D & A - Criminology 12 - Today we start with your questions from yesterday's class on victim theories (active & passive victimization; deviant place & high risk lifesytles; and routine activities) and school (from page 72 in the text). We'll work on that for the first half hour or so and then we'll watch the Law & Order: Special Victim's Unit episode "Closure" This episode deals with the short and long-term effects of a sexual assault on a victim.
From TV.com "Benson does her best to help a rape victim who is able to describe her attack in perfect detail, yet unable to properly identify her attacker when push comes to shove. When the detectives revisit the case a few months later, they find the woman even less willing to talk about what happened, as she claims she has moved on." I want you to think hard during this episode and pay careful attention to what happens with Harper's character.
What are the short and long term impacts on victims of Crime? Use Harper in the Law & Order episode you watched today and Chapter 3 pages 54-7 in Criminology: The Core textbook to help. This will form the basis of your blog entry on Monday.
C - Geography 12 - Today in class you’ll look at tectonics and plate boundaries. You’ll have to take down a few notes on divergent, convergent, and transform plate boundaries along with hot spots and then you'll need to work on two questions on geothermal energy and the effects of the Juan de Fuca plate and ridge just off our shores.

B - Earth & Space Science 11 - You're back in the library today for your second day to work on the major project for the year. Don't forget that it is your responsibility to create a review of the Earth & Space Science curriculum for a student in grade 7 (12 to 13 years old). Your review can be made in many different formats. You may:
1. Create an Earth & Space Science book in a Dorling Kindersley Eyewitness format
2. Create a series of Earth & Space Science flash cards in the style of Professor Noggins or Brain Quest
3. Create a series of Earth & Space Science Minute videos or podcasts
4. Create an Earth & Space Science webpage
5. Create 11x17 Earth & Space Science placemats (for learning while at the dining room table)
6. Create an Earth & Space Science game (complete with rules, board pieces, and box)
7. Create an Earth & Space Science Quick Study Guide
Please check in with me to let me know your chosen format by Monday.
