Today's schedule is A-AG-B-C-D
A & C Blocks Social Studies
10 - Today we will finish the Star Trek: The Next Generation video from Friday and explore the misconceptions that may have arisen when first contact
occurred. We'll review the concept of worldview and then spend time examining
the relationship that developed between the Aboriginal Peoples and both the
North West Company and Hudson's Bay Company on the Canadian Prairies. When we
finish our notes you'll need to work on a compare/contrast chart of the two fur
trading companies as well as question 2 from page 135 of the Horizons text.
B Block Law 12 - Hey just a reminder that you have a test on Wednesday (Chapters 4, 7 and 8) and I'll
review the work with you today...please prepare. Today in
Law we'll start looking at arrests and warrants in Canada. Our focus will be on
the options police have if they believe a suspect has committed a crime. We'll
talk about appearance notices & arrests (both warrantless and warrant
arrests) and we'll also talk about the duties of police officers. I'll have you
work on questions 3 & 5 on page 149 and questions 2 & 4 on page 154 of
the All About Law text.
D Block Law 9/10 - Welcome to Introduction to Law, also known as Law & Order: Vanier and
sometimes known as CSI: Vanier. This term class is a very short but exciting
look at criminal law in Canada. The course is organized much like an episode of
Law & Order. The first two weeks of the course deal with criminological
studies (the study of crime - we will focus on why crime is committed). The next
month of the class deals with criminal forensics and detective investigation.
The last three weeks of the class deal with the "order" component of Law &
Order where we'll follow the process of arrest, trial, and sentencing for crimes
committed. Each week we spend Monday in the library either doing some research
on a specific topic or preparing our major project. We also spend each Friday
watching an episode of CSI, Law & Order, Cold Case Files, Millennium,
Criminal Minds, or Forensic Files (but there's always a question about what you
watch). Today, I want you to brainstorm a list of all the reasons you can think
why someone would commit a crime and we'll collect all of your ideas on the
board for a discussion. We'll cluster your reasons why people commit crime into
categories and see what biological factors and sociological factors may
contribute to crime.
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.
