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

D & B Blocks Social Studies 10 - Today we'll continue with our 'Ole Bill Coot storyboarding / cartoon assignment. The due date for this assignment is next Friday (May 13th). You should use the webpages from Friday's blog entry as well as your textbook for information to help. Don't forget there needs to be swashbucklin', claim jumpin', horse wrastlin', saloon drinkin', bar fightin', gun slingin', ladies dancin', and rootin tootin old timey western action in your cartoon. Here's an example of a western themed storyboard from the Advanced Computing Center of Arts and Design at the OSU.

C Block Law 12 - Today in Law we'll examine the court room and we'll look at the three court levels in BC (Provincial, Supreme, and Appellate). After, we'll focus on courtroom organization and then we'll discuss the roles and responsibilities of the judge, the crown prosecutor, defense counsel, the court clerk, court recorder, and sheriff.

A Block Criminology 12 - Today we'll watch the Law & Order: Special Victim's Unit episode "Closure" This episode deals with the short and long-term effects of a sexual assault on a victim.

From TV.com "Benson does her best to help a rape victim who is able to describe her attack in perfect detail, yet unable to properly identify her attacker when push comes to shove. When the detectives revisit the case a few months later, they find the woman even less willing to talk about what happened, as she claims she has moved on."

I want you to think hard during this episode and pay careful attention to what happens with Harper's character. After, use Chapter 3 pages 51-4 in CRIM textbook to help answer the following:.

1. Explain the impacts of crime on victims (both short and long term)
2. Do you agree with the assessment that for young people, a school is one of the most dangerous locations in the community? Did/Do you find G.P. Vanier to be a dangerous environment? Why/Why not?
3. Do people bear some of the responsibility for their victimization if they maintain a lifestyle that contributes to the chances of becoming a crime victim? That is, should we “blame the victim”?
