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

A & D - Criminology 12 - You have tooday and tomorrow in the library for research and compilation of your criminology seminar/teaching project. Remember that you can choose any topic in criminology for your five minute seminar. From last Monday...

I'd like to have a seminar on Wednesday and Thursday where you have up to five minutes to present information on a criminology topic to the class. You can look at a specific crime, a specific criminal, a specific criminological theory, a criminal justice & enforcement technique that reduces crime, or any other criminological topic but it really should be of interest to you. So if you're really interested in gangs you can choose that (what they do, how they do it, where they operate). If you're really interested in a specific gang you can choose that (the Hells Angels or the Bandidos). If you're really interested in how police infiltrate gangs you can choose that. What should this look like? You'll have five minutes and you can use either your blog or powerpoint or some web based resource for graphic information. Tell the class what you found out about your topic and why it interests you.

You should be well through the research and tomorrow I'll post some information on presentation techniques. Good luck and have fun.

By the way, check out the CBC link on the Ontario Court of Appeal case on decriminaizing prostitution in Canada.

B - Earth & Space Science 11 - It's due this week. In the library today. It's worth 20% of your mark. Get it done.

C - Geography 12 - Today we will take the whole class to watch the rest of the movie Home that we started yesterday. We'll talk about the things you can do to address the problems / issues that the movie raises. Think about the title. What is our collective home? Now think about the statement from the beginning of the film...

Listen to me, please. You're like me, a homo sapiens. A wise human. Life; a miracle in the universe appeared around 4 billion years ago and we humans only 200,000 years ago, yet we have succeeded in disrupting the balance so essential to life. Listen carefully to this extraordinary story, which is yours, and decide what you want to do with it.
