Today's schedule is A-B-Lunch-C-D
A - Earth & Space Science 11 - Today we move on to the process of water and wind breaking down the surface of the earth. We will look at the different types of physical (mechanical) and chemical weathering. We'll start with a few notes and then move on to questions 1, 2, 3, 5, & 6 on page 243. For more information and help on the work, check out:
McGill University Geog 203 weathering notes
The Physical Environment textbook on line
Exploring Earth textbook on line
You'll have a bit of time to work on this tomorrow in class and then we move on to Mass Wasting.
B - Social Studies 10 - Today we are going to finish watching the Star Trek "Who Watches the Watchers" episode that we started on Friday. Remember that on Friday we found out that the Mintakan "Liko" was injured and taken to the technologically advanced Star ship Enterprise where he overheard Picard promising a research scientist Barron that he will find a missing Palmer. Despite the fact that Doctor Crusher performed a procedure to remove his short term memory, it didn't work and Liko returned to his planet describing "the Picard" to other Mintakans as a god, capable of healing wounds and reversing death. Again the purpose of this exercise is to understand how misinterpretations could lead to disasterous effects (like the Aztecs and Incas with Spanish Conquistadors) . After we finish the episode, we'll discuss the relationship that developed between the Aboriginal Peoples of the Canadian prairies and the North West Company and Hudson's Bay Company. This is VERY IMPORTANT because in essence we'll be discussing the difference in Aboriginal and European worldviews.
C - Criminology 12 - Today your journal / blog entry is to post your response to Friday's question:
What are the short and long term impacts on victims of Crime? Use Harper in the Law & Order episode you watched today and Chapter 3 pages 54-7 in Criminology: The Core textbook to help.
Next, I'd like you to find an article (news story) about a victim of crime and for that you should outline the impacts of the crime on them. Finally, using the two stories (one fictional and one real) explain what we should do to mitigate (soften the impact) the impacts of crime on victims (be realistic).
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.
