C - Geography 12 - Today we look at mesoscale convective complexes and tornadoes. I'll show you some footage of a tornado captured on video by a Kansas television crew. This footage was actually detrimental to tornado safety as most people who saw it assumed that a highway overpass provides shelter and safety.
This proved deadly with the May 3, 1999 Moore Oklahoma F5 tornado. We'll also watch footage of the Moore tornado and see the damage it wrought. We'll watch the wind episode from the BBC Series "The Weather" and hear from a man that survived a direct strike from an EF5 tornado. At the end of the class you will need to work on questions 15 and 16 from page 248 of your Geosystems textbook.
D & A - Criminology 12 - OK so yesterday we got caught up in the roots of violence and the implicit messages in media about sex. Today, you'll take down a few notes on what a sexual assault is along with the three levels of sexual assault in Canadian Law. I would like to focus on Groth's typology of rapist and then examine the causes for sexual assault. We'll look at evolutionary and biological factors (remember Sigmund Freud's Thantos and Eros or instinctual drives that allowed species to be successful?) We'll look at modern male socialization (boys are taught to be aggressive, forceful, tough, and dominating...think about how boys play when they're young). We'll look at hypermasculinity (where some men have callous sexual attitudes and believe that violence is "manly"). We'll look at violent experiences (remember that those boys who were exposed to violence in the household are more likely to commit violent acts when they grow older) and we'll look at Sexual motivation (social, cultural, and psychological forces). I'll have a question about sexual assault for you to complete today in class.
Tomorrow we look at the different levels of homicide and understand the motivations for multiple murder (both serial and mass).
B - Earth & Space Science 11 - Today we move on to tides, currents, and waves. We will take a few diagrams down about: the properties of an ocean wave; global ocean currents; and spring and neap tides. A good quick video on tides can be found here. You'll work on "For Review" questions 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, and 11 from page 405 of your Earth Science and the Environment textbook.
