Today's schedule is B-AG-A-D-C
B Block Social Studies 11
- Today we'll examine the Cold War in detail. We'll learn about the
economic and political ramifications on Canada of an ideological conflict
between the two superpowers. I hope you got a sense of the fear associated with
nuclear war and communists (Senator Joseph McCarthy's communist witch hunt - the House Un-American Activities Committee which became known as the ideology of "McCarthyism"). We also took a look at
the Truman
Doctrine (President Truman pledged assistance to "free peoples who are
resisting attempted subjugation by armed minorities or by outside pressures")
which helps you understand your "Cold War Flashpoints" activity that you'll get after your World War Two quiz/test tomorrow.
D Block Criminology 12 - Today we will take the first twenty-five minutes of class to write our violent
crime quiz. After, we'll begin our look at property crimes, where we'll discuss
the history of theft and make sense of the differences between occasional and
professional thieves. You'll need to answer the following:
What are the
differences between a professional and an occasional thief?
What is a
"situational inducement"?
What is a "Booster", a "Heel", a "Snitch", a
"Fence"?
C Block Social Studies 10 - Today we will spend the class working on our children's book about the building
of the CPR. I have the library booked for you to use, so don't forget there are
some websites that can help you with images and potential plotlines:

This assignment is due next Monday (June 3rd)
so do not procrastinate...do not blow this assignment off and don't leave it
until the last minute. You will have a test on Manitoba, BC, the CPR and the
Northwest Rebellion tomorrow (May 30th) so get prepared please.
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.
