Today's schedule is ABCD
A Block Legal Studies - You'll need to answer question 5 on page 175 of the All About Law text “Explain plea negotiation and outline the advantages and disadvantages of the process. In your opinion, is justice served by plea negotiations?”
This is not a one or two sentence answer; it requires thought and work.
Next, we'll focus on How a Criminal Trial works, including the presentation of evidence (Crown first then Defence), the rules of evidence (including voire dire - A Voir Dire is usually referred to a "trial within a trial". It is usually held during the Crown's case in order to determine the admissibility of evidence. For example, Voir Dires can be held to determine whether a confession is voluntary and admissible or whether it should be excluded under section 24(2) of the Charter. If the evidence heard in the Voir Dire is deemed to be admissible, counsel can agree not to repeat the evidence and the Voir Dire will form part of the evidence at trial. Two very common Voir Dires are a challenge to the admissibility of items seized in a search and a challenge to the admissibility accused confession to the police), and types of evidence (circumstantial, hearsay, privileged, and character).
Before a trial takes place, at the arraignment hearing, some of the things that will be discussed are:
- whether the prosecutor is proceeding summarily or by indictment;
- whether the prosecutor has made full disclosure (given all of the information the defense needs, like witnesses’ statements);
- the number of police, expert, and other witnesses that the prosecutor plans to call if the case goes to trial;
- the time estimate for the prosecutor’s case; and
- whether an interpreter is needed.
- plead guilty (before a judge),
- plead not guilty and set a date for trial, or
- ask for an adjournment
B Block Human Geography - So, because we skipped around a bit, today we'll start with the Anthony Bourdain Parts Unknown visit to Hawai'i. We are watching this to examine the concept of local (folk) culture through an exploration of what it means to be Hawaiian and the challenges that poses with a global (popular) culture. Remember from the video yesterday, living in Hawai'i doesn't make you Hawaiian, it makes you a resident of Hawai'i. So, often people confuse culture and identity.
After we finish the video, our job today is to look at the differences between folk and popular culture and we'll do this through the lens of music, sport (soccer football, skateboarding, UFC) and clothing...
Popular Music (I know it's from 1971 but the video of the Marvin Gaye song below is of musicians from the world over singing a pop song)

Folk Music (Musicians from the Hawaiian Islands singing a song unique to the islands)
C/D Blocks Social and Environmental Sciences - With Young you'll need to work on your reflection of your sit spot in Cathedral Grove and your BC Forest Industry worksheet from Friday. With Benton you'll be in the Library/Learning Commons working on an activity about Forestry Techniques (Silviculture) and Value Added products. For Forestry Techniques (Silviculture) please use Timberland's Clearcut Alternatives. If you need more don't forget on Friday I gave you these links that will help as well: Silvicultural Systems in British Columbia and Silvicultural Systems Handbook for British Columbia. For the value added portion of the assignment please use the UNECE/FAO Forest Products Annual Market Review. Although it's an older document you could also use Generating More Value from Our Forests or the more recent government document Value Added Sector Action Plan
