Today's schedule is A-AG-B-C-DB Block Social Studies 11 - Today we're in the class with the notebook lab to continue working on our "Dictatorship for Dummies" or "Complete Idiot's Guide to Dictatorship" project. Before we get to the assignment we'll watch the Simpsons episode "The Joy of Sect". From tv.com... Homer gets a brochure from a religious group at the airport and being highly gullible, he goes to their retreat. Because of Homer's intelligence quotient they have more trouble brainwashing him than the rest of Springfield most of who are all sucked into joining this cult. When they finally succeed with Homer, he signs over the family house to the Leader. The Leader begins taking over various media outlets, making Mr. Burns envy him. Seeing an opportunity to pay even less in taxes, Mr. Burns tries to form his own cult, although he is unsuccessful. Homer and the family move to an agricultural compound and begin picking beans. When the children become just as brainwashed as Homer, Marge escapes and enlists the help of Lovejoy, Flanders, and Willie to kidnap her family. They are able to deprogram them and then Homer tries to show the cult that the Leader is a fraud. When he does, and life returns to normal. The purpose of watching the Simpsons is to look at the cult of the leader as they say in the episode "The leader is good,the leader is great.We surrender our will, as of this day". Mussolini and Hitler clearly played up the cult of the leader so consider that when looking at the resources for this assignment.
C Block Social Studies 10 - Today we'll continue with our 'Ole Bill Coot storyboarding / cartoon assignment.

Computing Center of Arts and Design at the OSU.D Block Criminology 12 - Today your journal / blog entry is to post your response to Friday's question:
What are the short and long term impacts on victims of Crime? Use Harper in the Law & Order: Special Victims Unit episode that we'll finish watching today and Chapter 3 in the CRIM textbook to help.
Next, I'd like you to find an article (news story) about a victim of crime and for that you should outline the impacts of the crime on them. Finally, using the two stories (one fictional and one real) explain what we should do to mitigate (soften the impact) the impacts of crime on victims (be realistic).
