Today's schedule is B-A-D-C-X
B Block Social Studies 11 - Today, you'll finish working on your "Cold War Flashpoints" activity where you'll analyze the following
four conflicts through a W5H approach: Korean War, Vietnam War, Suez Crisis, and
the Cuban Missile Crisis. NOTE: W5H = Who (countries & people) was
involved; What happened during the conflict; When did the conflict take place;
Where did the conflict break out and spread to; Why did the conflict occur; and
How was Canada involved and affected by the conflict. Look at yesterday's blog entry for more information on the four flashpoints. This activity, along with your Cold War definitions are due today.
D Block Criminology 12 - Today we'll watch an episode of Leverage (the Boost Job) from Season 3.
I'd like you to pay attention to is the skill set that each member of
the leverage team has: Nathan "Nate" Ford "The Mastermind"; Sophie
Devereaux "The Grifter"; Alec Hardison "The Hacker"; Eliot Spencer "The
Hitter"; and Parker "The Thief". I'd also like you to think of the types
of crime in the show and how each one was perpetrated (auto theft,
embezzlement, fraud, and theft).
In the episode Nate (the master mind of the group) briefs the team and
explains that the owner of Penzer's Auto, Duke Penzer, is an ex-racer
and he "clones" stolen cars by registering them in other states. Parker
(the thief) knows all about how car theft works and explains how Penzer
runs his scam...The episode deals with auto theft, fraud, and good
burglars and you'll need to use portions of the episode in your blog entry next Monday.
C Block Social Studies 10 - Today is the last day to work on your children's book about the
building of the CPR. Your project is due this Monday...really it is. That means that the project is due after this weekend. That would be in three days right? Don't forget, here are some websites that can help
you:

Nestled away, in the back corner of G.P. Vanier, you'll find room 115 (we used to be 611). Lurking in the shadows of this room is Mr. Young...waiting to pounce on unsuspecting students and natter on about volcanoes, hail, psychopathy, criminal law defenses, cultural diffusion, media theories, crime, and urban models of city development. He loves his job in 115 and can't wait to work with you this year.
