A Block Law 12 - Today with Ms. Curry...we'll quickly go over what happens when the accused is awaiting trial - I'll give you a few notes. We'll have a discussion on whether or not police should be allowed to use tasers. You'll read the issue on page 176 and then discuss in partners. I'll show you some articles on the Robert Dziekanski case, too. After that, we'll watch an episode from Law and Order: Criminal Intent.
B Block Geography 12 - Today we're looking at streams and drainage basins. You'll need to work on a few definitions, a diagram, and questions 1, 3, 10, 11, and 12 from page 481 in your Geosystems textbook. A map of Canada's drainage basins can be found here and the Canadian Atlas online has a great section on drainage basins too. Notes on these topics can be found here. We'll look at this topic next week when we take our walk along the Tsolum River so try to remember what we look at when working through this work. In order to understand streams we'll watch a Bill Nye the Science Guy episode on the topic - Rivers & Streams (#209). Splash down a rapid river with Bill Nye the Science Guy and explore how ecosystems work and why they are important to our environment. From waterfalls and dams, to the depths of the Grand Canyon, this is one wet and wild ride. This week's music video showcases the Talking Headwaters singing "Take Me to the River."

C Block Criminology 12 - Today you'll be in the library to do two things: 1. finish any missing blog entries that you have yet to complete for assessment; and 2. begin work on your seminar assignment for later this week. A Reminder that the blog topics are:
Blog # 6 The Good Burglar
Blog # 5 Auto Theft
Blog # 4 Sexual Assault & Hypermasculinity
Blog # 3 Short & Long term Impacts of Crime Victims
Blog # 2 Crime Trends and Rates
Blog # 1 Personal Theory of Crime Causation
If you're finished all of your blog entries then you can begin to research your seminar topic. Instead of an essay or a survey of criminological theory worksheet I thought I'd give you the opportunity to spend some time looking at something that really interests you in Criminology. So basically I'd like to have a seminar next Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday where you have between five to ten 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 to eight 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.
D Block - Social Studies 11 - Today with Ms. Curry...we'll talk about what life was like in the 1920s. I'll show you some videos and photographs, and we'll discuss what life might have been like. What did people do? How did they live? Would you have wanted to live in the 1920s? What was the economy like? I'll give you some more time to work on your timelines.
As an exit slip, you all have to show me that you can dance the Charleston (I'm kidding!).
