A Block Legal Studies - So, yeah.. we started with privileged communication and ended up discussing family law, non-disclosure agreements and other stuff. Today, we start with Law and Order (because we didn't get to it on Friday). Then, we're going to look at the types of criminal offenses in Canada (summary conviction, indictable, hybrid). We'll examine the elements of a crime: Actus Reus and Mens Rea which come from Actus non facit reum nisi mens sit rea which is Latin for “the act will not make a person guilty unless the mind is also guilty.” (with a special focus on Mens Rea - intent, knowledge, and recklessness). After, you'll need to work on questions 1-5 on page 123 and then questions 1-5 on page 130 of the All About Law textbook. Here are some websites to help:
B Block Criminology - Today, we are in the library / learning commons, and your journal / blog entry is to answer the following:
What are the short and long term impacts on victims of Crime? Use both Harper from the Law & Order episode you watched on Friday and Chapter 3 pages 54-7 in CRIM textbook to help.
Next, I'd like you to find an article (news story) about a victim of crime and for that you should outline the impacts of the crime on them. Finally, using the two stories (one fictional and one real) explain what we should do to mitigate (soften the impact) the impacts of crime on victims (be realistic).
Don't forget to find stories on crime in Canada check out: CANOE CNews Crime site...or the Toronto Star Crime site...or Global News Crime site...or the Huffington Post Canada Crime site...or the Vancouver Sun Crime Blog
C Block Human Geography - It's your last day in the learning commons/library for you to work on your refugee/migrant/internal displaced person activity (it's due this Thursday). Here are some more links to continue to help you along your path / journey:
D Block Physical Geography - Today I have the Learning Commons/Library reserved for the class so that you may continue working on your Orting College development project. I'll have some previous examples of student work for you to look at. These people are running away from a volcano, like what may happen with Mt. Rainier...they're not students running away from Mr. Young wondering where your assignments are.
Don't let this video sway your decision, but Orting...
