Today's schedule is D-C-Lunch-A-B
C - Criminology 12 - Today you start with your Victimology quiz. Once we've finished this you have some time to work on your typical victim of crime poster that is due tomorrow in class. After, I'd like you to brainstorm a list of all the entertainment you can think of that is based in violence. Think of video games (HALO), television programs (CSI), books (30 Days of Night comics), movies (Saw), music (ONYX, Biggie, Megadeath, Anthrax, Slayer), sports (MMA, WWE), and other forms of entertainment. I'm asking you to do this because I would like to know where violence comes from (personal traits, ineffective families, evolutionary factors, exposure to violence, cultural values, substance abuse, and firearm availability)?
A - Earth & Space Science 11 - Today we'll turn our attention to Mass Wasting focusing on slides, flows, and falls. We will figure out the causes of Mass Wasting by looking at both the driving and resisting forces on hillsides and slopes. We will try to figure out some slope stabilization practices and specifically we'll look at what has been done at Goose Spit to stop erosion of the Willemar Bluffs along Balmoral Beach. We'll also review the problems of the Sea to Sky highway (Hwy 99 from West Vancouver to Squamish). You'll complete questions 13, 14, 15, and 19 for homework.
There is a good collection of landslide hazard information at Dave's Landslide Blog
B - Social Studies 10 - Today we will continue our two week unit on Aboriginal peoples and the expansion west leading to early contact and trade. Today we will review the Star Trek: The Next Generation video from yesterday and explore the misconceptions that may have arisen when first contact occurred. We'll review the concept of worldview and then spend time examining the relationship that developed between the Aboriginal Peoples and both the North West Company and Hudson's Bay Company on the Canadian Prairies. When we finish our notes you'll need to work on questions 2, 4, and 5 from page 99 of the text and this question: "Compare and Contrast the relationship between the Aboriginal Peoples of the Canadian prairies and the a) North West Company AND b) Hudson's Bay Company"
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.
