D Block Legal Studies - Today we'll I'll have you back in partners to work through the Multani v. Commission scolaire Marguerite-Bourgeoys (2006) case on pages 41-42 of the All About Law text. After we discuss the case I'd like you and your partner to choose four of the items/statements/scenarios from the list below.

Lastly, we'll watch an episode of Law & Order. We'll watch "By Perjury" from season 19 (January 2009). A plaintiff in a class-action suit against an airline is murdered. Assistant District Attorney Cutter finds himself pitted against a lawyer whose manipulation of the legal system keeps letting him get away with murder, and Detective Lupo's mistake risks both the case and Cutter's life.

A Block Physical Geography - Today we'll do a brief introduction to topographic maps and I'll show you how to identify location, estimate area, calculate slope, and determine direction on them. We'll look at large versions of the 1:50000 scale topographic maps for the Comox Valley (92F10 and 92F11). For a large copy of the Forbidden Plateau 92F11 map click on the Online - En ligne (PDF or TIFF) at the GEOSCAN Fast-Link site. Using these maps we'll try to make sense of topographic maps in partners.
