Today's schedule is: C-AG-D-A-B
C Block Law 9/10 - Since we didn't get to it yesterday, we will look at profiling and begin to understand what a psychopath is. Dr. Robert Hare
of the University of British Columbia created a checklist called the
PCL-R (Psychopathy Checklist Revised). We'll examine
the "Unholy Trinity" of serial killer characteristics and today we'll watch a
video on how profiling was developed in the F.B.I. Behavioural Science Unit
(through the efforts of many highlighted by the work of John Douglas) today. The first part of the
video focuses on Wayne Williams and then looks at Robert Hansen. Don't forget that in Canada the
R.C.M.P. call the technique criminal investigative analysis.
A Block Social Studies 11 - Since we didn't get to it yesterday we'll focus on the political parties that emerged in reaction to the harsh
economic and political climate of the time. We will look at the Union Nationale
(Maurice Duplessis), the Social Credit Party
(William "Bible Bill" Aberhart) and the
Co-Operative Commonwealth Federation (J.S. Woodsworth). We'll even talk about the
Canadian Nationalist Party (Joseph Farr) and the National Social Christian Party
(Adrien Arcand) which were both unabashedly
fascist (Arcand eventually became the leader of the National Unity Party).
Lastly you'll need to work on questions 1 & 2 on page 89.
B Block Geography 12 - Today we'll continue our look at weather; working on an activity called
“Sunlight and the Seasons” (week 12 package "Solar energy and the
reason for seasons"). After you have finished this activity you need to
complete questions 17, 19, and 20 from page 62 in your Geosystems textbook. If there's time we'll see what Bill Nye has to say about seasons. Below you'll find a decent if somewhat slow video on seasons...
and what does the rotation of the Earth on its axis -giving us seasons-look like and mean for us?
Don't
forget, we'll start the class by looking at the synoptic chart for
North America and begin to understand weather station plots. Take some
time on the following sites to learn more and to practice your weather
operational analysis capabilities:
WW2010 - University of Illinois Weather site
National Weather Service "Jet Stream" online weather school
American Meteorological Society "Data Streme"
British Broadcasting Corporation Reading Weather Maps
USA Today Reading Weather Maps
Practise at: Weather Office (Environment Canada) Operational Analysis Charts or at the Data Streme site above
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.
