A & D Block Legal Studies - Today is your introductory unit final test in Law. The unit test will cover the first three chapters of the All About Law text (Foundations of Canadian Law, the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms, and Human Rights in Canada). The test will have: 15 True/False questions; 15 Multiple Choice questions; 15 Matching questions; and 3 Short Answer questions. Since you had a few days to prepare I am certain that you will do extra well on this test. No lawyer works in isolation and today neither will you, you may not use notes, however, you may collaborate with colleagues on the test. You'll have as much time as you need for the test however it should only take 45-50 minutes to complete. When you're done you may finish either your poster or last unit's questions. Good luck!
B Block Human Geography - Today we'll head off to the library to work on a small migration project. The instructions for this assignment are in the Week 5/6 package. This project comes from Mr. Lucas Varley from Lincoln High School in Lincoln, Nebraska. You will imagine yourself in the role of a refugee/migrant who has relocated from one part of the world to another. Your job is to research in detail the many factors that are involved in a migration. You will only be given some basic information regarding your specific migration scenario. It is your job to conduct research to establish realistic demographic information for your scenario. You will need to produce a thorough written summary of your personal migration (A.K.A. Diary or Reflection journal or Newspaper article OR you could make a video or do a podcast but you will need a detailed script for it). Include as much detail as possible. Include images to help your reader gain a fuller understanding of your migration scenario. Please feel free to listen to and examine the stories below:

C Block Criminology - We'll continue our look at sexual assault today. I need you to answer the question:
Identify and explain the causes for sexual assault
So to help answer the question I'd like to share the CBC DocZone Documentary "Sext Up Kids" with you. The documentary exposes how growing up in a hyper-sexualized culture hurts our kids and sends the wrong messages that could potentially lead to sexual assaults. From the CBC site:From tiny tots strutting bikini-clad bodies in beauty pageants to companies marketing itty-bitty thongs and padded bras to 9-year olds, images of ever-younger sexualized girls have become commonplace. Add to that: ever-younger boys with 24-7 access to hard-core internet porn. It saturates their lives - from skate parks to the school bus – by the time they’re eighteen, 80 percent of boys are watching porn online.
So we'll watch the documentary and use information from it to help with our blog entry from Monday.
