C- Geography 12 - Today we will finish our look at deserts and desert environments. Please hand in all of your week 10 work so that I can get it back to you in order that you may prepare for your upcoming unit final test. We'll watch the Planet Earth DVD of deserts in class today.
A & D - Criminology 12 - Today we'll start with a discussion on your lists of crime and deviance. On Tuesday I'll ask you to work on a related activity. After this we'll watch our first Criminal Minds episode of the course. I'll have you watch "Empty Planet" from Season 2. In this episode The BAU travels to Seattle to identify and catch a serial bomber who has been terrorizing the city and targeting centers of automated technology. Working with the author of a science fiction novel that has become a guide for the bomber, the team attempts to determine why certain sites have been chosen as targets. I'll ask you to explain the profile that the team builds on the serial bomber after the episode is done.
