B Block Human Geography - Today we're back in the learning commons/library looking at the 2018 World Population Data (using both the PRB Interactive Map and the pdf data sheet) to see current trends and numbers in world population. Today is your last day to work on the web quest with questions in your week 3 work package to answer. You may work with a partner to find answers to the 17 questions but you all need to record answers. Use:

2018 World Population Data Map
2018 World Population Datasheet

Population Reference Bureau

For the last question you'll need to choose one of the following demographic variables using the World Population Data Sheet and create a choropleth map showing the distribution of that indicator on a world outline map. The PRB World Population Data map is an example of a Choropleth Map. Use it to help you create yours, just select the indicator you wish to create and it will make a choropleth map that you can recreate.

Infant Mortality
Birth Rate
Death Rate
Total Fertility Rate
Life Expectancy

A Block Physical Geography - Today we'll begin the class by working on the Juan de Fuca Plate and Geothermal energy questions that we ended the day off with yesterday. I'll show you some information on geothermal energy plants and you'll get some time to work on the assignment. While you're working, we'll watch the National Geographic Amazing Planet DVD that we didn't finish. The video will help with the Juan de Fuca plate question because there are all three margins (convergent, divergent, and transform) around the plate. For help with the geothermal energy check out:

US Energy Information Agency Energy Kids Geothermal



D Block Law - Today we'll be back in the learning commons/library to continue research for our Human Rights poster (which is due next Wednesday - February 27th, 2019). I will have poster paper for you and I'll give you the paper once I've seen your ideas (a rough sketch). Remember you need to create a visually appealing Human Rights Campaign Poster that addresses the human rights violation by incorporating key information (What is happening? Where is it taking place? What rights are being violated? Who is having their rights violated? Why are their rights being violated?) as well as pictures, symbols, and colours. Your poster should seek to draw the attention of the public through the balanced combination of text and visuals in a creative, yet educational manner!
Universal Declaration of Human Rights
Illustrated Universal Declaration of Human Rights 

Online Examples of Human Rights Posters:
"Women's Rights Are Human Rights" poster exhibition in Boston
The City College of New York’s Human Rights Forum
Stand Up 4 Human Rights
Poster For Tomorrow

C Block Criminology - Today you have time to complete last week's questions. Remember, 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. 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)

There is a good CBC article here on the costs associated with victims of violent crime.
