Today's schedule is D-C-Lunch-A-B
C - Criminology 12 - Yesterday we got caught up in the talk about identity theft, shoplifting, and auto theft and worked on some questions. Today I'll have you look at: false pretense & fraud; Burglary & B&E; and arson. For the rest of the class you'll need to work on your shoplifting poster that I posted to the blog yesterday. Remember you need to explain how to identify shoplifters and how to protect product from shoplifters in your poster.
A - Earth & Space Science 11 - Today, you are in the library for your next day to work on your major semester long project. You can find the assignment on the school computers in K:\Mr. A. Young\Earth and Space Science 11\Earth and Space Science Major Project.pdf. Remember that your Second Milestone is May 28th...hey wait a second that's today! So, today you will need to submit three completed pages (of which I will choose one to grade). Remember that your topics need to be related to class discussions or subjects covered in the course AND you need to have a research component. If you'd like to hand in the missing installments from last time you'll need to hand in eight. There's only two more days for work in the library after today so please be efficient!
B - Social Studies 10 - You are going to be making a children's story book about the building of the Canadian Pacific Railway from Toronto to Vancouver. Since the book is targeted for 5 to 9 year old children you'll need to choose your words carefully and have age appropriate language. 5 to 9 year old children are, however, not dumb and you are trying to tell a story of the challenges involved in building the railway along with the characters who did it (Note: my eleven year old daughter will be marking these books with me). You will need to include the building of the railway in three locations (northern Ontario, the prairies, and through the mountains in B.C.), you'll need to show what passenger cars and locomotives looked like, you'll need to show what trestles and tunnels looked like, you'll need to identify the main characters (Smith, Macdonald, Van Horne, and Onderdonk) and show what it was like for workers (different conditions for whites and coolies), you'll need to show the last spike in Craigellachie and have a map of the railway.
Pau Hana!
Nestled away, in the back corner of G.P. Vanier, you'll find room 115 (we used to be 611). Lurking in the shadows of this room is Mr. Young...waiting to pounce on unsuspecting students and natter on about volcanoes, hail, psychopathy, criminal law defenses, cultural diffusion, media theories, crime, and urban models of city development. He loves his job in 115 and can't wait to work with you this year.
