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

D Block Criminology 12 - Today I want you to back in your pod/groupings so that you can try to see where your crime theory categorized clusters (similar categories) fit in terms of Choice, Trait, Social Structure, Social Learning, and Conflict theories. After this, we'll begin our look at the nature vs. nurture debate by focusing on the history of psychological and sociological criminology (from B.C.E up to and including the current theories,which will help you with your first activity in the course). I'll give you a handout to help you with crime theories and tomorrow we'll talk about what your first activity will be.

C Block Human Geography 11 -  Yesterday we looked at our first key question, "How do Geographers describe where things are?". We briefly looked at scale and projection connected to the "language" of geography...maps. Today, in order to get ready for our next three key questions (Why is each point on Earth unique?, Why are different places similar? and Why are some human actions not sustainable?) we'll look at  the Five Themes of Geography (Location, Place, Human-Environment Interactions, Movement, and Regions). 

B Block Physical Geography 12 - Today we'll work on the foundations of Geography starting with the Five Themes. In order to understand the increasingly complex and interconnected world we live in we need to find a way to make sense of information in a way that doesn't overwhelm us. The Five Themes (Location, Place, Human-Environment Interactions, Movement, and Regions) are a framework for making sense of geographic data. After this I'll give you time to continue your observing as a geographer activity from yesterday's class.
