D Block Criminology 12 - Every day we have specific routines we engage in. Many of these routines are tailored to preventing us from becoming victims of crime. We do things like lock our doors, watch where we walk at night, or avoid walking alone. We take these actions because at some level we are afraid of the possibility of being a victim of crime. Despite taking these actions people often fall prey to crime in Canada. Today I'd like you to read through the "Nature of Victimization" on pages 53-5 and 57-58 and "Theories of Victimization" dealing with Victim Precipitation, Lifestyle, and Routine Activities on pages 59-62 in the CRIM text. After discussing these sections your job will be to complete the following:
1. Briefly outline and explain the patterns we've identified in victimization (social ecology, household, personal characteristics and repeat victimization)
2. Explain and compare the three theories of crime victimization (as a comparison chart or Venn diagram)
For more on victim assistance see:
BC Ministry of Justice Victims and Witnesses of Crime and Violence
Victim Link BC
National Office for Victims
Victim Services Corrections Canada
Canadian Resource Centre for Victims of Crime
There is a good CBC article here on the costs associated with victims of violent crime.
C & B Blocks Social Studies 11 -Yesterday in partners you brainstormed a list of people who you think make good leaders and the qualities or traits of leadership that you admire or think are important. We'll pick up our discussion from yesterday and when we're finished going over your ideas work on the following questions:
1. What are your top five qualities of leadership? Explain them with examples to help.
2. How can leaders motivate people to follow them and get people to be involved in social issues?
3. What is the worst fault a leader can have? Why?
4. Can you be a good leader but not be a good communicator? Why or why not?
5. Why is it important to have a good leader as the Prime Minister of Canada?
6. Explain the “roles” (power) that the Prime Minister of Canada has to play
For help look at:

The Prime Ministers of Canada
A Block Geography 12 - Don't forget, you may use the Earth Interior web page or the Dynamic Earth webpage to help with questions 7
& 8 from page 366 of your Geosystems text (answers can be found between
pages 334 and 336 of the text). After, we'll discuss the differences between
Sial and Sima (continental and oceanic crust) along with figuring out what
buoyancy and isostasy are. You'll need to complete question 9 from page 366 of
the text (isostasy, isostatic rebound, and crustal equilibrium). We'll also
transfer some notes into our week 3 package on the rock cycle and then we'll
focus on igneous rocks and plutonic features. If you need help look at
the Geology for Kids web page, the flash animated movie on the Kids Know It
network, or the e-notes Isostasty: World of Earth Science
page.
