In this activity, you'll be a newspaper reporter writing a respective story on the case after the Supreme Court of Canada made its final decision on the matter. You need about four paragraphs dealing with: a brief history - summary of the case (why he was charged and what the decisions in the lower courts were); an explanation of the charter rights violations and Keegstra's defence; an explnation of the decision made by the justices of the Supreme Court; and opinion from both sides (those for and against Keegstra's defence). Use the questions in the Law text as a guide (this will be considered as your first major project in the class and is due a week from tomorrow (Friday, October 1, 2010). For help with the Keegstra case check out:
The Canadian Encyclopedia - The Keegstra Case
Canadian Human Rights Council - Testing the limits of freedom of expression
Stop Racism - James Keegstra (it's heavy on the legal speak)
Judgments of the Supreme Court of Canada R. v. Keegstra, [1990] 3 S.C.R. 697
D - Geography 12 - Today we'll transfer some notes into our week 3 package on the rock cycle and then we'll focus on igneous rocks and plutonic features. We'll have a diagram to complete and then there will be three questions to work on (12, 13, & 14 from page 366 in your Geosystems textbook). If time permits we will look at some sweet footage of Kilauea and try to understand the type of lava (rhyolite? andesite? peridotite? basalt?)
You can check out current conditions and watch videos (including some cool footage of the Pu'u 'O'o vent) at the Hawaiian Volcano Observatory here
A - Introduction to Law 9/10 - Today we are going to finish the A&E documentary on profiling the criminal mind (today we'll look at Robert Hansen in Alaska) and then I'll have you try to build a criminal profile of a computer hacker. I'd like you to read through the section in your class text (handout) on “geographic profiling” and then using the information about organized criminals on page 7 of your handout, try to build a profile of a person who commits criminal mischief (computer hacking) in the class. Complete this as a “dossier file” and imagine that it will be provided to the computer forensics department of the local R.C.M.P. detachment.
