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


B Block Social Studies 10 - Today is your Map, Geography, and Canadian Physiographic Regions unit final. You have as much time in today's class to complete the test as necessary but it should take no more than 45-50 minutes. If you came prepared I am certain that you will do fine. When you're done the test Mr. Elliott will have you...start our discussion around immigration by looking at
Canada's current statistics 
 and reflecting on our personal connections to immigration through our
family histories. We will think about how we or our family members got here and what elements of their cultures they brought to Canada.


A Block Introduction to Law 9/10 - Today we will start with our second quiz in the course. Your first order of business is to relax and dazzle me with what you know. After, we'll continue watching the episode of "I Detective" called Identity Unknown. In this show the investigation of a crime is followed and at key points the narration stops and you'll be asked to make a decision as if you were a detective in the case. I will ask you to keep track of your choices and we'll see what kind of criminal investigator / detective you'd make. The following are some great web pages to help understand the procedures:
Learning for Life Crime Scene Search study guide
U.S. Department of Justice Crime Scene Investigation guide

Criminal Profiling Crime Scene searches (FBI guidelines) 

D Block Social Studies 10 - Today is your Map, Geography, and Canadian Physiographic Regions unit final. You have as much time in today's class to complete the test as necessary but it should take no more than 45-50 minutes. If you came prepared I am certain that you will do fine. When you're done the test I'll have you start with four definitions: Family Compact, United Empire Loyalist, Clergy Reserves, Assembly, and Governor. Next, I'll have you work on the two questions on the "Get to the Source: The Family Compact" section on page 53 of Horizons

C Block Law 12 -  Today we'll talk about the methods of enforcing rights guaranteed under the Charter (section 52 of the Constitution Act and Section 24 of the Charter). We'll look at the differences between "strike down", "read down" and "read in". Finally I'd like to revisit Aboriginal principles of justice in Canada. I'd like you to look at the issue section "Should Aboriginal Peoples have their own system of Justice" on pages 106-07 in AAL and I'd like you to partner up with another student in the class. Your pairing should discuss questions 1-4 on page 107 and then be prepared to share with the class. We'll then do the same for questions 5 & 6 from the unit review on pages 108-09 of AAL
