9:15 - 11:50 A Block Physical Geography
12:30 - 3:05 D Block Legal Studies
A Block Physical Geography - Today we'll continue our work on the foundations of Geography starting with our Geography I.D. assignment. After, we'll move on to systems. This is an important class as everything we look at in geography will be through the lens of systems science. We'll look at systems, feedback, equilibrium, and thresholds. You'll have four questions to work on today (What is a System; Define and give examples of Open and Closed Systems; Explain with examples what Positive and Negative Feedback is; and Explain in terms of systems what Dynamic Equilibrium, Thresholds, and Metastable Equilibrium are).

After, we'll move on to geographic spheres within the Earth system (the Lithosphere, the Atmosphere, the Biosphere and the Hydrosphere).
After a few notes, you'll need to look at figure 1.8 (p.13) and figure 1.9 (p.14) in the Geosystems book and try to interpret the relationships among the four spheres as a result of humans burning fossil fuels. If you're having trouble with this consider the carbon cycle (pages 634-5 in text) or look at Earth Observatory Carbon Cycle from NASA. You could also look at Annenberg Media's "The Habitable Planet" Carbon Cycling website. For more help with positive and negative feedback loops take a look at Chapter 2 of Gerry Martin's on line Human Ecology textbook.

D Block Legal Studies -Today we'll look at Hammurabi, Mosaic law, Common law, Precedent and Case law. Next we'll discuss the "rule of law" and quickly review the Social Studies 11 topics of our constitution and how laws are made.
I'll have you work on questions from page 21 of the All About Law textbook:

I'll have you work on questions from page 21 of the All About Law textbook:
- Question 2 How did the English common law system develop?
- Question 3 How is the rule of precedent used in today’s system of law? and
- Question 5 Explain the significance of statute law as a source of law?

After we'll look at the three sections of the Charter of Rights and Freedoms that limit your individual rights (Reasonable Limits, Notwithstanding Clause and Where the Charter Applies).
