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

B - Earth & Space Science 11 - Today we will finish our look at mining in Canada; again focusing on the extraction of ores, minerals, and fossil fuels (mineral and energy resources). We'll start by continuing the Powerpoint I began last week with you on Geologic Resources. Today our focus will be on extraction proceedures both on the surface (open pit, strip, and placer) and sub surface. We'll take a diagram down about mining and then look at energy sources. We'll discuss coal, petroleum, and uranium as well as solar, geothermal, and wind power.

D & A - Criminology 12 - Today your journal / blog entry is to finish up and post your response to Friday's question:

What are the short and long term impacts on victims of Crime? Use Harper in the Law & Order episode you watched today (Friday) and Chapter 3 pages 54-7 in Criminology: The Core textbook to help.

Next, I'd like you to find an article (news story) about a victim of crime and for that you should outline the impacts of the crime on them. Finally, using the two stories (one fictional and one real) explain what we should do to mitigate (soften the impact) the impacts of crime on victims (be realistic).

D - Geography 12 - Today we'll begin the class by working on the Juan de Fuca and Geothermal energy questions that we ended the day off with on Friday. I'll show you some information on geothermal energy plants and you'll get some time to work on the assignment. After, we'll watch the first part of the Geologic Journeys: The Rockies. This episode is all about terrane building and the formation of the Rockies in Canada. When the video is finished, you'll work on your Day 14 assignment (define anticline & syncline, and work on questions 4 - 5 from page 412 in your Geosystems text). You will also have the opportunity to work on your Day 13 Juan de Fuca plate and Geothermal energy questions as well. All of your Week 3 work is due tomorrow.
