A Block Law 12 - Today I have the notebook lab booked for you to continue your work on the major civil law project that is due in just under two weeks. Including today there are eight classes remaining until your final exam and ten classes left until your project is due...no pressure.
B Block Geography 12 - Today is a crucial day in Geography 12; we will be discussing biogeochemical cycles - specifically the carbon and nitrogen cycles. We'll see what Tim and Moby have to tell us about the carbon and nitrogen cycles. We will also be discussing the flow of energy through an ecosystem (trophic layers and food webs).
It is very important that you review systems and feedback from week 1 of the course. For a great on-line text resource check out the Human Ecology textbook by Gerry Marten. For more on cycles in ecosystems check out:

We'll look at the United Nations Human Development Index which focuses on health, poverty and hunger, education, and environmental issues in countries around the world, HIPC's (Highly Indebted Poor Countries) and the cycle of poverty. I'll have two videos for you to watch and some questions afterwards.
