C and B Blocks Social Studies 11 - Welcome to Social Studies 11. Today we will go through the course outline package and become familiar with the routines and structures of room 611. We will take the class to orient ourselves to the curriculum and get ready to look at the topic for the week - Regionalism and the challenges to Canada. Social Studies 11 is an intense one semester course that deals with the Canadian governmental system; the emergence of Canada in the 20th Century, from Dominion to influential Middle Power; and Canada’s role in global economic, social, cultural, and environmental issues. You will learn about who makes our laws, who carries out and enforces our laws, and who interprets and upholds our laws. You’ll learn about the close relationship we have with the United States, the sometimes tense relationship we have with Quebec, and the relationship we have with other countries and organizations around the world. Finally, you’ll learn about the issues that face the world, as a whole, such as population, climate change, development assistance, and conflict and conflict resolution.
D Block Criminology 12 - Welcome to Criminology 12. Today we will go through the course outline package and see what crimes we have in store for the next two months. In this course we look at crime theories and crime typology. The first three weeks of the course sees us look at a general history of crime, big ideas about why people commit crime and thoughts on why people become victims of crime. The main portion of the class then focuses on crime typologies: violent crimes; property crimes; white collar/enterprise/business crimes; organized/gang crimes; and crimes of a social nature (gambling, drug use, sex trade). Each week we spend Monday in the library working on an on-line crime blog while each Thursday or Friday we'll watch an episode of CSI, Law & Order, Criminal Minds, White Collar, Leverage, Elementary or another crime television program (but there's always a question about what you watch).
A Block Geography 12 - Welcome to Geography 12...the most important class you'll ever take in your life. Today we will go through the course outline package and become familiar with the routines and structures of room 611. We will take the class to orient ourselves to the curriculum and get ready to look at observing as a geographer would. Tomorrow, we'll head outside for some observational and analytical skill development. Be prepared to look beyond simple observations and try to see a larger picture with connections to the wider world.
