B Block Law 12 - Today we start with the defences to these intentional torts (consent, self-defence, defence of a third party, defence of property, legal authority, and necessity). I'll give you a few quick notes on these defences and then you'll have the rest of the class to work on your project. I'll have a few previous examples for you to look at and that may help you frame your ideas and understand formatting issues.
A Block Social Studies 11 - Today I'll finish the review for the Canada in the last half of the 20th Century unit final that you have this Friday. Remember that this will be your last test in term four before the Provincial Exam (Thursday, June 21 1-3 pm). I'll give you the rest of the block today to continue your preparations for the test. Since I've given you a review I would not study anything other than the subjects I've gone over with you for the past two days. So how do you study? These are techniques that will help you review for tests:
- Create study checklists Identify all of the material that you will be tested on-- list notes, formulas, ideas, and text assignments you are accountable for. This checklist will enable you to break your studying into organized, manageable chunks, which should allow for a comprehensive review plan with minimal anxiety
- Create summary notes and "maps" Briefly map out the important ideas of the course and the relationships of these ideas. Summary notes should display lists and hierarchies of ideas. Creativity and a visual framework will help you recall these ideas.
- Record your notes and significant portions of text on audio tapes so you can review material with an mp3 player. Having a record of important information will enable you to study while walking or relaxing in a non-academic environment
- Create flashcards for definitions, formulas, or lists that you need to have memorized--put topics on one side of the card, answers on the other. Flashcards will enable you to test your ability to not only recognize important information, but also your ability to retrieve information from scratch.

D Block Criminology 12 - OK so we know where violence comes from. We know what homicide is, the divisions of murder and why people do it. We understand what sexual assault is, the typology of assault and the motives for doing it. Today I'll finish up the violence section with you by looking at abuse, domestic assault and terrorism. You'll have a unit quiz on Friday and tomorrow we'll begin property crime. You need to hand in your work from last week to me (typology of rapist and identify and explain the motives for sexual assault). For terrorism consider the following:
By design, terrorist attacks are intended to have a psychological impact far outweighing the physical damage the attack causes. As their name suggests, they are meant to cause terror that amplifies the actual attack. A target population responding to a terrorist attack with panic and hysteria allows the perpetrators to obtain a maximum return on their physical effort. One way to mitigate the psychological impact of terrorism is to remove the mystique and hype associated with it. The first step in this demystification is recognizing that terrorism is a tactic used by a variety of actors and that it will not go away. Terrorism and, more broadly, violence are and will remain part of the human condition. The Chinese, for example, did not build the Great Wall to attract tourists, but to keep out marauding hordes. Fortunately, today's terrorists are far less dangerous to society than the Mongols were to Ming China.

C Block Geography 12 - Today we will continue our work on climatology. You will need to finish up the climate description activity from yesterday and questions 9, 14, and 19 from page 326 in your Geosystems text. After we'll look at how climate graphs are created and interpreted and then begin work on drawing and interpreting two climate graphs (Bahia, Brazil and Yuma, Arizona). For help on how to draw climate graphs see:
