Thursday, October 25. 2012

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

D Block Social Studies 11 - Today with Ms. Curry...we'll be heading to the computer lab to do some research. You're going to create an advertisement for four different public figures from the 1920s. You'll have to research who they were, what they were good at and what their accomplishments were

C Block Criminology 12 - Today we start with your second to last quiz in the course. This quiz covers our property crime and white collar crime units in Criminology. After we are finished the quiz you may continue working in your groups on the gang related crime - organized crime (aboriginal crime groups, cartels, ethnic crime groups, and outlaw motorcycle gangs) activity. Remember you need to explain the activities of each group: What do they do? How do they do it? What do they control? Where are they based in Canada? Organized crime by nature (according to Howard Abadinsky) is monopolistic (in other words organized crime groups want to have a monopoly over a specific geographic area for the illicit activity they wish to pursue). Your answers to the question of organized crime in Canada need to be completed by the end of the class (Note: use the section in your text to help as well).


 

B  Block Geography 12 - Today we'll quickly review the Mass Wasting work we did yesterday. After, we'll look at three types of snow avalanches (loose, wet, and slab). We'll understand where they occur, why they happen, and figure out the physics of snow mass movement. I'll show you a video on avalanches and then there is no homework tonight. Unfortunately this week saw the first avalanche fatality for this fall/winter season here in BC. Check out the CBC news article here.
