Tuesday, March 29. 2011

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

C - Geography 12 - Today we'll quickly review the Mass Wasting work we did yesterday. After, we'll look at three types of snow avalanches (loose, wet, and slab). We'll understand where they occur, why they happen, and figure out the physics of snow mass movement. I'll show you a video on avalanches and then there is no homework tonight.

D - Criminology 12 - Today we'll move on to social order crimes, starting with what "obscenity" means. After we discuss moral entrepreneurs (crusaders) and then we will deal with the issue of prostitution in Canada. We will understand the different types of prostitutes (street walkers, circuit travelers, bar girls, brothels, call girls and escort services). We'll look at some high profile cases (former New York state governor Eliot Spitzer) and examine the reasons why people turn to prostitution. Next we'll examine the laws in Canada on obscenity - as related to pornography (Criminal Code section163 subsection 8 and the community standards of tolerance test) and ask the question "Does pornography cause violence?" Tomorrow, we'll spend some time looking at substance abuse and then you have the rest of the class and the week to work on your final project. For help understanding just how far sex has infiltrated our modern society take a look at the article on canoe.ca about teen girls trading sex for favours.

B - Earth & Space Science 11 -
Today we are going to finish our diagrams and notes on the three types of plate boundaries. Yesterday you took diagrams down about the three convergent boundaries (ocean - continent, ocean - ocean, and continent - continent). Today we'll take diagrams down about divergent and transform plate boundaries and then explain them through notes. For the remainder of the class you need to work on the following questions from the text: q. 9, 10, 12, 14, 15, & 16 from page 145

A - Criminology 12 - Today we are off to see a presentation in the bandroom about sexual exploitation for Criminology. Taking Care of Ourselves, Taking Care of Others (TCO²) is a unique and empowering interactive workshop designed and delivered by youth, for youth about preventing sexual exploitation. Using monologues, role-plays and engaging activities, a group of three young adult facilitators involve participants in a meaningful and interactive discussion of what sexual exploitation is, who is involved, and how to prevent it from happening. Topics may include: recruitment tactics, warning signs of exploitation, domestic trafficking, violence and drugs in the sex trade, exploitation over the Internet, non-commercial forms of exploitation, males in the sex trade, barriers to exiting the sex trade, community resources, and how to get help.
