Tuesday, June 1. 2010

Today's schedule is C-D-Lunch-B-A

C - Criminology 12 - Today we will take the first part of class to finish up work on our anti-shoplifting poster (how to identify those who shoplift and how to "harden" products to reduce shoplifting). Once we finish that we shift our focus and look at White Collar Crime. We will begin by learning how to identify a pyramid / ponzi scam (for more take a look at How Stuff Works).

B - Social Studies 10 - Today we'll continue our look at the Canadian Pacific Railway. I'll give you some notes on the building of the CPR focusing on the effects of hard labour and racism on Chinese workers and land issues with the First Nations peoples across the Prairies. For the rest of the class you can work on your children's book about the CPR. Tomorrow we'll look at the numbered treaties and the Indian Act; Thursday we'll look at the return of Riel and the Northwest Rebellion of 1885; and Friday we'll look at the Northwest Mounted Police, settlement in the west and the effects of the Railway. Don't forget you have a unit final test this upcoming Monday!

A - Earth & Space Science 11 - Today we'll take a look at seasons and the geographic factors that affect temperature on the surface of the planet. I'll have you work through a seasons lab, we'll watch the "Cold" episode of the BBC "The Weather" DVD, and then you'll end with "For Review" questions 11 and 12 on page 445 of your Earth Science and the Environment textbook.
