A Block Criminology - Today we'll finish the NOVA video we started on Friday...
After we might watch a bit on epigenetics (or not) and then hopefully we'll discuss what we've seen with the nature/nurture concept in terms of criminality. We'll continue our look at the nature vs. nurture debate by focusing on the history of psychological and sociological criminology and our brief history of criminology (from B.C.E up to and including the current theories, which will help you with your first activity in the course).
B Block Legal Studies - Today we'll finish our history of where Canadian Law comes from and then we'll work on understanding case citations (R. v. Kerr, 2004, and Grant v. Dempsey, 2001). For more on how to read case studies check out:

Finally, if there's time, we'll discuss the "rule of law" and quickly review the Social Studies 10 topics of our constitution and how laws are made. After, we'll see what rights that you have guaranteed through various legal documents in Canada (including the Charter of Rights and Freedoms the Canadian Human Rights Act and the BC Human Rights Code a great BC Human Rights Code pdf/booklet can be found here).
C Block Human Geography - Today we'll finish our look at the five themes of geography (finishing Place - Situation and then looking at Human Environment Interactions, Movement-Diffusion, and Region). I'm not a huge watch-a-"list" video kind of teacher (you know like buzzfeed's "top 10 ________ that will make you ______") but our topic for the day is "Why is each point on Earth unique?" I do like the opening for the Netflix series Sense8 as an example of the diversity of regions and for an visual explanation of why each point on earth is unique...
D Block Physical Geography - Today we'll quickly review the Five Themes and then 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).
