A & D - Criminology 12 - Today we'll focus our efforts at the beginning of class on auto theft. You'll need to explain the five types of motor vehicle theft and identify how you can protect your vehicle from being stolen (target hardening strategies). The Kanetix website below lists the top vehicles stolen in Canada and check out this article on the Macleans website for the article on the top 100 cities for auto theft in Canada.

Next, we'll look at burglary & Break and Enter. I'll give you a few notes and then you'll need to answer the following: What characteristics must a good burglar have? (Look at Neil Shover's explanation on page 264) and What are the differences between male and female burglars?
You'll have the rest of the class to work on your shoplifting poster.
B - Earth & Space Science 11 - Today we'll continue watching the BBC video "The Weather" episode on heat. While we watch this you can finish up your questions from yesterday's class. After, we'll take a look at seasons and the geographic factors that affect temperature on the surface of the planet. I'll have you work through a seasons lab for the rest of the class.
C - Geography 12 - Today we will begin looking at biomes and biogeographic realms. Biomes are the major regional groupings of plants and animals discernible at a global scale. The distribution of these biomes is connected to climate, soil, and the physical topography of the earth. Biogeography is the study of the distribution and patterns of plants and animals throughout the biosphere.
Using chapter 20 of your Geosystems textbook, I would like you to describe the flora and fauna (plant and animal) characteristics of the following terrestrial biomes (land based not aquatic): Equatorial & Tropical Rain forest (ETR); Tropical Seasonal Forest and Scrub (TrSF); Tropical Savanna (TrS); Mid latitude Broad leaf & Mixed Forest (MBME); Needle leaf & Montane Forest (NF/MF); Temperate Rain forest (TeR); Mediterranean Shrub land (MSh); Mid latitude Grasslands (MGr); Deserts (DBW & DBC); and Arctic & Alpine Tundra (AAT). At the end of this there are questions 8, 12, 13, & 15 from page 693 to complete as well.
