Today's schedule is C-AG-D-A-B

C Block Geography 12 - Today we'll work in our week 3 package on  igneous rocks and plutonic features. We'll have a diagram to complete and then there will be three questions to work on (12, 13, & 14 from page 366 in your Geosystems textbook). Before we do that let's see what Bill Nye has to tell us about Rocks and Soil...Bill?


D Block Criminology 12 - Today, we'll finish our review for next Wednesday's quiz (theories and history of criminology, trends in crime and where we get our information about trends in crime: UCR, PRVS, Self-Reports).  After I'll have you watch a 20/20 episode called "Out of the Woods"

In the story, a birthday sleepover ends with a 12-year-old close to death. Girls tell Police they plotted to kill friend for 'slender Man' and meet the 12-year-old 'slender Man' attack survivor.

B Block Social Studies 11 - Today we'll be looking at voting and elections in Canada (including the 2011 Federal election ) specifically focusing on political ideology and the parties that follow specific ideologies. A political ideology deals with goals (how society should work) and methods (how to reach the goals). We'll look at the major political parties in Canada: Liberal, Conservative, New Democratic, Green, and Bloc Quebecois. Well see what their platforms (goals and methods) were/are.




When you look through the platforms and try to select a party that most represents your beliefs. You'll need to explain why you would choose that party if you were eligible to vote today. You will receive a hand out to help organize your thoughts and research.
