B Block Introduction to Law 10 - We are in the library so that you may continue your work on the crime scene investigation project (Clue Us In). You'll have three more blocks of time in the library this week to finish up this crime scene reconstruction activity (no more time after that). Please remember that I have books on crime scene investigation in the classroom. Use these resources to aid you in the development of your project. Remember you need to create a crime...replicate the crime scene...investigate the crime as if you were an R.C.M.P. officer...and prepare a dossier file to hand over to Crown Counsel so that they may prosecute the case. Look at yesterday's blog entry for more information. Good Luck.
A Block Law 12 - Today I have the library/learning commons booked for you to continue your work on the major civil law project that is due in just a month from now. You have ten library blocks left to finish this assignment...no pressure really. And don't forget if you're choosing to do three cases with a video for your law firm...you had better start script writing and planning your production dates ASAP.
For Tomorrow's "quiz"
Courtroom organization and the participants in the criminal justice system
Motions at the beginning of a trial
Jury duty
Crown evidence
Rules of evidence
Types of evidence
Purposes of sentencing
Considerations in sentencing
Sentencing options
Sentencing, healing, and releasing circles
Conditional Release
D Block Human Geography 11 - Today we'll be in the library for our recipe activity. Don't forget you need to:
- Select a recipe that is associated with a particular culture, ethnic, nation, or other type of region. The best candidate is one of your favorite family recipes that has been passed down through the generations.
- Write the individual ingredients for the recipe in detail (as if from scratch). If you don’t have a copy of the recipe you will need to interview a person that does by phone or e-mail.
- Research on the Internet where the ingredients were originally domesticated. If there are certain ingredients that have not been domesticated, find their natural habitat (shrimp, cranberries, etc.). Research the domestication of animals (cows, chickens, etc.).
- Create a map showing the diffusion of the ingredients into your recipe region. Print a blank world map of the Internet.
- Write two paragraphs on how our region’s food has been influenced by diffusion/ migration (the Old Silk Road or Columbian Exchange). Discuss the climate and land use of the region where your ethnic dish is from.
NOTE: Use this awesome website Map Your Recipe to help
C Block Criminology 12 - Yesterday we looked at Social Structure Theories and tried to see if the explanation of crime by the Crips fit within any of those theories (social disorganization, strain, and or cultural deviance). Remember the narrator in the documentary indicated that the Crips came out of an area that had poor schools, housing and an unemployment rate three times the national rate. Also Raymond 'Dhanifu' Cook said that they were "like bandits coming from the poor sections (of LA) to the more affluent sections (of LA) to requisition their material to bring it back to the neighbourhood" and 'Crippin' meant "are you ready to rob, plunder, pillage"? This kind of fits within the Social Structure theories. There are three major arguments among Social Process Theories that focus on how people learn to commit crime (Social Learning), how society fails to control deviancy and criminality (Social Control), and the impact of criminal labels on individuals subsequent behavior (Social Reaction). Today we'll finish the National Geographic "Inside the Bloods and Crips" show and to end the class I'll have you work on yesterday's question along with today's question:
Have you ever been given a negative label, and, if so, did it cause you social harm? How did you lose the label, or did it become a permanent marker that still troubles you today?
