A Block Legal Studies - Today will be our last day in the learning commons for our Human Rights poster. I have poster paper for your Human Rights project 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!
Here are some video examples of Human Rights Advocacy campaigns
B Block Criminology - We'll continue our look at sexual violence 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.
We'll watch the documentary and use information from it to help with our blog entry from Monday.

C Block Human Geography - Today we'll try to answer the Key Questions "Where are Migrants Distributed and Why Do People Migrate?" We'll look at the difference between a migrant and a refugee. We'll look at in-migration (immigration to) and out-migration (emigration from) and patterns of international migration. We'll look at a brief history of immigration policy in Canada (Hint hint it's kinda Eurocentric up to the late 1960's), Zelinski's migration transition (what stages of the DTM do we find in and out migration) and lastly push and pull factors for migration. You'll have some work to complete for me in your Migration Unit package.

D Block Physical Geography - Today in class we'll try to understand the five different types of volcanoes, with examples, and see if we can figure out where these beasts are on the planet. We'll take some notes about the five types of volcanoes and we'll check out the types of Volcanoes at the BC Open Text Physical Geology Textbook. There are three types of volcanic environments are represented in British Columbia:
- The Cascade Arc (a.k.a. the Garibaldi Volcanic Belt in Canada) connected to subduction of the Juan de Fuca Plate beneath the North America plate (Mt. Garibaldi, Mt. Cayley, and Mt. Meager)
- The Anahim Volcanic Belt related to a mantle plume (The Rainbow Range and Nazko Cone)
- The Stikine Volcanic Belt and the Wells Gray-Clearwater Volcanic Field related to crustal rifting (Tseax River Cone and Mount Edziza)
In the time left you may work on your week 4 Tsunami or Earthquake work
