C - Criminology 12 - Yesterday we got caught up in the talk about white collar crime and today I'd like to finish the first half of the documentary "The Corporation" that we began yesterday. Please do not forget that the documentary is an opinion piece...it is trying to pursuade you that a corporation acts like a psychopath. Not all business is bad but we do need to understand the "corporate view" of white collar criminal activity.A - Earth & Space Science 11 - Today, you'll have the class to work on "The Atmosphere" worksheets 1-3. You'll need to have these completed by the end of Monday's class and you can get them finished today if you work. I will have the library booked for you tomorrow but your time is really running short for your major project. I need you to be here working on the project in the library or I will not be able to give you any more time for this assignment. We'll wrap up weather and climate on Monday and then shift into our final unit on astronomy. While you're working on your atmosphere/weather worksheets we'll watch a sweet video on lightning (it's in the top five!)
B - Social Studies 10 - Today we begin by looking at the Northwest Rebellion of 1885 and the implications of the railway and the results for Macdonald, Riel and the Metis. I'll give you a few notes on the topic, like yesterday in class, and then you have the rest of the class for your childrens book on the CPR. DO NOT FORGET that you have a unit test this upcoming Monday on: First Nations groups in Canada; explorers of the Canadian west; Selkirk, Red River, Louis Riel and Manitoba's entry into Confederation; the Gold Rush and BC joining confederation; the CPR; numbered treaties and the Indian Act; the Northwest Rebellion; and settlement on the prairies. You also have your project due next Monday as well. For more on the Northwest Rebellion and Luis Riel look at:
