A & C Blocks Social Studies 10 - Today we'll discuss
the insane geography that the CPR was constructed upon. We'll look at the
stretches of northern Ontario where track was built and then rebuilt again due
to "geographic difficulties". The photo to the left is CPR construction north of
Lake Superior. We'll learn about Andrew Onderdonk and the railway through BC.
We'll focus on John A. Macdonald's "National Policy" and look at the connection
between Sir Hugh Allan's Pacific Railway Company, the Pacific Scandal and Macdonald's defeat in
1873. We'll then look at George Stephen & Donald A. Smith's Pacific Railway
Company which hired William Van Horne and Andrew Onderdonk to build the railway. At the
end of the class you'll have time to finish up work from before the breakB Block Law 12 - Today we will go through the elements necessary for a negligence case to move forward. We'll look at: Duty of Care; Standard of Care (including foreseeability and the reasonable person's test); Causation; and Actual Loss (real loss or injury). Included in this will be understanding the legal principle res ipsa loquitur (the facts speak for themselves). After we'll quickly take a look at negligence defenses, motor vehicle negligence, professional negligence, and occupiers' liability. After that you've got the rest of the block for your project.
D Block Law 9/10 - Today we are going to continue your look at crime
scene investigation procedures and we will begin our work on our
case study project. An excellent on line resource that you can use is Forensic
Magazine - Check out the "Tips" tab (it's a pull down menu and the select "Crime
Scene Tips"). Click on the magazine logo below to go to the website.
You will need to imagine that you are a constable in the Comox Valley R.C.M.P. detachment specializing in criminalistics and crime scene analysis. You are going to create a crime scene dossier file that you would normally put together for the Crown Counsel. You have been called out to a crime scene here in the Comox Valley and when you arrive at the scene you need to begin your narrative report. What do you need to do?
•Create a crime (ex: murder, arson, kidnapping, assault)
•Choose eight pieces of evidence (from the list below) that you would find at the crime scene and either help you solve the crime or mislead the investigators
•Create a victim, a perpetrator, two other potential subjects, & witnesses (not necessary)
•Create a dossier file that contains the following: a walk through narrative; pictures of the eight pieces of evidence (with a description, a tag number, and an explanation of where it was found); a detailed crime scene diagram/sketch with pictures of what the crime scene looked like and the identification of evidence; forensics lab sheets for each piece of evidence that describes the evidence and explains what the evidence tells you; transcripts of any interviews conducted by investigators (including potential eyewitnesses or suspects); a narrative of how you "solved" the crime so that the Crown Counsel can move forward with laying charges and proceed to trial.
Evidence to choose from: human hair, synthetic hair, carpet fibres, cotton fibres, bullet cartridges, bullet holes, finger prints, foot/shoe prints, blood stains (drip, splatter, pool), bodily fluids, skin epithelials, tube of lipstick, can of coke, apple core, piece of rope, body, accelerants, matches, money (wallet), poisons, bugs or larvae (blowflies), cigar or cigarette but, mug, tire treads, or any other trace evidence but you must approve the other evidence with me.
