D/C Blocks Social and Environmental Sciences - We lose you for the entire morning for Careers Day. Enjoy going to your four speaker sessions and be prepared for tomorrow where we'll do two things:
- Plankton Lab from yesterday's haul at Fanny Bay and
- Forest/Land use conflict and solution Gallery Walk
B Block Human Geography - Today we are back in the library for your second to last day to work on your information graphic poster on an endangered language. Remember, for your endangered language you’ll need to:
- Show where the endangered language originated and diffused to (yes on a map).
- Show the connection to the family, branch, and group of the endangered language. (Use your best judgment on this).
- Show where the language is spoken today, indicate how many people speak it.
- Show Unique features of this endangered language (What makes it different to and similar than others?)
- Show examples of how the language is written and or spoken
- Show why your endangered language is important to save
- Show how your endangered language is both being threatened (contributing factors) and being saved
- Show how people can find more info (links...sources cited)
And FYI:

A Block Legal Studies - We are back in the Learning Commons / Library to work on our criminal law memo activity. Don't forget for your discussion section consider the principles of sentencing (deterrence, retribution, rehabilitation, resocialization, and segregation); the options for sentencing; along with considerations in sentencing; and finally sentencing, healing, and releasing circles. The Criminal Code has purposes and principles that provide judges with guidance in sentencing. However, it does not provide absolutes. The Criminal Code recognizes that each offence has its own specific circumstances and each trial and accused has its own specific considerations. From Criminal Sentencing Considerations at William Jaska Law (link above):
Judges must consider several principles:
- Proportionality: The sentence must proportional to the crime, and the offenders’ degree of responsibility – s. 718.1
- Totality: A component of proportionality, it ensures the sentence is proportional to the gravity of the offence – s. 718.2(c)
- Parity: The sentence should be similar to other sentences that involve similar offences and circumstances – s. 718.2(b)
- Restraint: The Judge must exercise restraint to ensure sentences are just and fair, carried out in a manner that is both appropriate and humane – s. 718(d), (e)
So, try to identify the best choices for your sentencing recommendations from among: absolute discharge, conditional discharge, probation, suspended sentence, concurrent sentence, consecutive sentence, intermittent sentence, indeterminate sentence.
Also don't forget Mitigating circumstances are a set of factors that can lessen the severity of a sentence. They do not justify or excuse criminal action, but they can result in lesser sentences or reduced charges (young offender/first-time offender/not a principal actor but a party to the offense/Significant Personal or Financial Stress/Non-Violent Crime). Aggravating circumstances are the reverse of mitigating circumstances. They are a set of factors that increase the severity of a sentence (Previous Criminal Record/Violence or Disregard for the Safety of Others/Planned or Pre-Meditated/Use of a Weapon/Cruelty or Malice).
