Welcome to the first day of Term 4. Today's schedule is A-B-C-D
A & D - Criminology 12 - Welcome to Criminology 12. Today we will go through the course outline package and see what crimes we have in store for the next two months. After we finish looking at the outline, I have two questions that I'd like you to brainstorm:
What is the purpose of laws and what is a crime ?
Why do people commit crime?
After a few minutes I'd like you to partner up and get your ideas on a large sheet of paper to share with the class. We'll try to make sense of your ideas and will continue this through tomorrow. This will lead us into an exploration of criminological theory.
B - Earth & Space Science 11 - On Thursday you worked on "For Review" questions 2-8 and "For Discussion" questions 1 & 2 from page 194 in your Earth Science and the Environment textbook. I'll need to get these questions from you today (six of you have handed it in already and thanks for that). Today we'll look at the difference between explosive and effusive volcanoes and there is a good basic description at the Geological Society website. There are four main factors at play here:
1.The viscosity of the magma
2.The amount of dissolved gasses in the magma
3.The speed at which pressure is released when magma nears the surface
4.The amount of heated ground water
If you want some notes look at the power point presentation here or here. Tomorrow we'll look at plutonic and volcanic features and begin our look at three types of volcanoes.
While you are working on your questions, I'll show you Volcano episode from the Discovery Channel series Raging Planet .
C - Geography 12 - Today we're looking at glaciers and we'll make sense of how they erode the landscape and examine the landforms they create. We'll understand the differences amongst the various alpine and continental glaciers and we'll define: cirque, arete, pyramidical peak, hanging valley, truncated spur, esker, drumlin, kettle lake, and fjord; along with questions 3, 8, and 12 from page 587 in your Geosystems text.

NOTE: Don't forget you have a test a week from today (Monday, April 18, 2011)
Nestled away, in the back corner of G.P. Vanier, you'll find room 115 (we used to be 611). Lurking in the shadows of this room is Mr. Young...waiting to pounce on unsuspecting students and natter on about volcanoes, hail, psychopathy, criminal law defenses, cultural diffusion, media theories, crime, and urban models of city development. He loves his job in 115 and can't wait to work with you this year.
