A Block Law 12 - Hello Law family. I want to thank you for working so well with Ms. Curry over the last two months. You've given her a wonderful practice teaching experience and I know that she really enjoyed her time with you. We have a mere 35 classes remaining together to cover the last section of Criminal Law, all of Civil and Family law as well. y in Law we'll examine the court room and we'll look at the three court levels in BC (Provincial, Supreme, and Appellate). After, we'll focus on courtroom organization and then we'll discuss the roles and responsibilities of the judge, the crown prosecutor, defense counsel, the court clerk, court recorder, and sheriff. Next we'll look at the advantages of trial by jury and understand the methods and challenges to jury selection. I'll be pushing you a bit this week to get our criminal law unit finished because we need to shift our focus on to Civil Law soon. For more on juries in BC check out: BC Ministry of the Attorney General - Jury Duty
B Block Geography 12 - Today we'll continue our look at weather by reviewing Friday's topics of energy distribution and the greenhouse effect (and connect those topics to global warming). Our next focus will then be on heat and temperature in the atmosphere. We'll take a look at two sections of the National Geographic video "Six Degrees Could Change the World" (1 to 3 degree temperature changes). In class today, you will need to work on questions 9 & 11 on page 118 AND questions 5, 8, 12 & 13 from page 141 and 16 from page 142 of your Geosystems textbook. We will pay more attention to global warming and climate change later on in the course. For more on the Six Degrees video check out the Interactive Site for the documentary here.
Don't forget that every day we are going to start by looking at the synoptic forecast along with weather maps.

C Block Crime, Media & Society 12 - Today we're back in the library working on the collaborize classroom site. Just a reminder, when posting on the site it is important to identify yourself with something other than your "handle"...slim, smoidawg, imreadytogo66, jds55, bigmuzzy laundry. I really appreciate that you're willing to post in the on line class but remember "Use each other's names" and "Avoid slang and sarcasm". Now for today I'd like you to do two things:
- Finish up your posts on the "Highway of Tears" thread...Remember you need to find out as much as you can on the Highway of Tears and then you need to tell me what you found out about the media's coverage of the Highway of Tears.
- Work through the three questions from Friday on the Dateline "My Kid Would Never Do That: Stranger Danger" thread along with the "Big Ideas connecting the two shows" question.
D Block Social Studies 11 - Hello Socials family. I want to thank you for working so well with Ms. Curry over the last two months. You've given her a wonderful practice teaching experience and I know that she really enjoyed her time with you. We have a mere 35 classes remaining together to cover the end of the Second World War and give the post war-cold war-post cold war era some justice along with our look at social geography and the contemporary world. So...
Today in class we'll continue our look at World War Two by focusing on the internment of Japanese Canadian citizens here in British Columbia. This sad event in Canadian history was the culmination of years of racism and xenophobia on the west coast. Japanese Canadian citizens were excluded from a 160 kilometer range from the coast, were sent to detention camps and were deprived of their civil liberties. Japanese Canadians lost all their possessions (houses, farms, fishing boats, companies and personal goods) which the government sold off to keep them from returning to British Columbia. It wasn't until 1949 that they regained all of their rights and that all restrictions were lifted. You'll have to work on questions 1 a and b from page 127 out of the Counterpoints textbook.Tomorrow we'll examine the Holocaust and then look at the end of the war both in Europe and in the Pacific.
