Today's schedule is D-C-B-A
D Block Criminology 12 - Today we'll finish our look at the victims of crime. Remember the Holly Jones murder case in Toronto
(2003) we talked about? What impact that would have on her family,
her classmates at school, her neighbourhood, and really the entire
greater Toronto metropolitan area.

Today I'll review yesterday's work on the three theories of
victimization and the two questions from the end of the chapter. To
bridge the topics of violent crime and victimization I'll have you
create a poster 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.
C Block Geography 12 - Today we'll start by reviewing the Coriolis force, along with global
scale winds and pressure circulations. We'll talk about the Horse
Latitudes, the Bermuda Triangle, and the Doldrums. Since we didn't have time to start them yesterday, you will need to complete question 1 from page 176 and questions 9 & 15 from page 177 of your Geosystems textbook. While you're doing this, we'll watch our BBC friend Mr. Donal McIntyre and his efforts to combat heat extremes on the planet.
B Block Law 12 - Today we'll start with our trial procedures and sentencing quiz for Law. After this, I'll go through civil trial procedures with you and give you some
notes on summons or statements of claim and the options available when a
lawsuit is claimed against you (statement of defence, counterclaims,
third party claims, or default judgements). Next I'll explain the
benefits of an out of court settlement and identify why negotiating an
agreement is better than going to court.
A Block Social Studies 11 - Today we'll look at the creation of the United Nations - focusing
on the structure of the organization. You'll look at the General
Assembly and Security Council along with other UN organizations like
UNESCO, ICJ, UNICEF, UNHCR, and others. You'll watch a Brainpop video
on the UN and will discuss the purpose and intent of the organization
both in the Cold War world and the modern world as well. Then, we'll also watch the American Civil Defense video "Duck and Cover" along with a bit of the Atomic Cafe movie
in class. The Atomic Cafe contains civil defense movies from the 1940's
through the 1960's and will help you understand the culture of fear
that developed throughout the Cold War. You'll need to work on questions
2 and 4 from page 146 in your Counterpoints textbook along with the following definitions for the Cold War:
Nestled away, in the back corner of G.P. Vanier, you'll find room 115 (we used to be 611). Lurking in the shadows of this room is Mr. Young...waiting to pounce on unsuspecting students and natter on about volcanoes, hail, psychopathy, criminal law defenses, cultural diffusion, media theories, crime, and urban models of city development. He loves his job in 115 and can't wait to work with you this year.
