Tuesday, May 3. 2011

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

D & A - Criminology 12 - Today you'll continue your poster assignment showing a typical victim of a violent crime. You will need to choose a type of violent crime (homicide, assault, sexual assault, criminal harassment - stalking, hate crimes, kidnapping) and identify the personal characteristics, behaviours, and traits of the most likely victim of that crime (consider age, gender, social status, relationship status, race or ethnicity, prior victimization, behaviour, location, culture, etc...). You'll need to explain & draw the victim and then describe the theory of victimization that explains why they would fall prey to that crime. After, we'll have a brief discussion of the impacts of crime on victims (both short and long term)

C - Geography 12 - Today we'll look at atmospheric moisture, humidity, and the four atmospheric mechanisms that cool a parcel of air to its dew point & cause precipitation (orographic, convectional, frontal, and radiative cooling). You will complete questions 9 from page 211 and 21 & 23 from page 212 of your Geosystems textbook. While you are working on the questions I'll have the BBC DVD The Weather on for us to watch the WET episode. The Weather is a major BBC documentary exploring the extremes of the world's climate with the engaging presenter Donal MacIntyre and in WET we rde with the rain from the wettest place in Europe to the wettest place in the world, with a stop under the parched Texan skies, where farmers hope to harness the power of nature to create rain. From the first drop of a monsoon to the floods that kill millions each year, water brings life and death in equal measure.

B - Earth & Space Science 11 - Today we'll finish the work we began last week on streams and water (only 1 student has handed in their work from this chapter so far).

Today catch up, tomorrow glaciers and deserts, Wednesday and Thursday oceans, Friday library....next Monday (a week from today) Surface processes unit final.
