C Block Human Geography - I'm hoping that you are seeing some consistent themes in Human Geography this year. Remember that folk culture is traditionally practiced primarily by small, homogeneous groups living in isolated rural areas while popular culture is found in large, heterogeneous societies. Folk culture is influenced heavily by the environment that it develops in while popular culture depends less on the environment because it diffuses on a larger scale (globalization). With the larger globalized scale of popular culture (becoming more dominant), the survival of unique folk cultures is threatened...This is one of the themes I hope you are starting to see.
So...Customs in folk culture (such as provision of food, clothing, and shelter) are clearly influenced by the prevailing climate, soil, and vegetation (utilizing localized resources). Today we'll look at Folk clothing, clothing, clothing, clothing and clothing. Then we'll try to consider pop culture clothing:
D Block Physical Geography - Today we're going to start our new unit on gradation. We've looked at the process of building up the land through tectonics and energy from below. Now we'll focus on breaking down the surface of the Earth and today we cover "geomorphology". We'll look at some slopes on Google Earth. The United States Geological Survey has a good web page on Landslides here and the Atlas of Canada has a good site on Landslides in Canada.
A Block Criminology - Today you have a quiz on violent crime. I have a note/cheat sheet that you may use to help. The quiz should take no more than half an hour to complete. After, we'll start with our look at property crimes, where we'll discuss the history of theft and make sense of the differences between occasional and professional thieves. You'll need to answer the following:
- What are the differences between a professional and an occasional thief?
- What is a "situational inducement"?
- What is a "Booster", a "Snitch", and a "Fence"?
B Block Legal Studies - Today I'll give you time to work on the Canadian court activity from yesterday. Remember in BC...
After we're looking at arrests and warrants in Canada. Our focus will be on the options police have if they believe a suspect has committed a crime, in this we'll talk about appearance notices & arrests (both warrant-less and warrant arrests)
Section 495 of the criminal code grants the police the power to arrest someone when:
- they have reasonable grounds to believe the person has committed or is about to commit an indictable offence;
- they are committing a criminal offence;
- or when they have reasonable grounds to believe that there is a warrant for that person’s arrest.
Most warrants are only valid within the province where they have been obtained and many of those warrants will have restrictions setting out a kilometer radius. It is also possible to obtain an arrest warrant that applies across Canada, however this is much harder to do.
Today's Fit...
