Day 7 - Thursday September 16. 2010

A - Introduction to Law 9/10 - I hope you brought your coloured pencils today as you will be drawing what you think the typical victim of an assault looks like. You will need to keep in mind the demographic statistics about victims and the factors that add to the risks of being a victim. This will be due on Monday and you will have a quiz on Tuesday. The quiz will be on the first four pages of your notebook (the topics we covered in Law 9/10 this week).

D - Geography 12 - Today we'll finish our look at spheres in geography. Next, we'll work on time zones, latitude and longitude, GPS, and the remote sensing technology of GIS (We'll watch a Brainpop video on GPS with Tim & Moby). There are five questions on the week one day five handout to complete in class.Your homework will be to look at figure 1.8 (p.13) and figure 1.9 (p.14) in the Geosystems book and try to interpret the relationships amongst the four spheres as a result of humans burning fossil fuels. If you're having trouble with this consider the carbon cycle (pages 634-5 in text) or look at http://earthobservatory.nasa.gov/Library/CarbonCycle/.

C - Law 12 - Today we will continue our Introduction to Law unit. We've finished the first chapter in Law and today you'll need to finish up and hand in the work that I assigned you yesterday (chapter 1 review questions: Reviewing Key Terms questions a through l along with Exploring Legal Concepts question 2 and Applying Legal Concepts question 8 R. v Dudley and Stephens). Today we will have a discussion in class about your rights that you have guaranteed through various legal documents in Canada (including the Charter of Rights and Freedoms the Canadian Human Rights Act and the BC Human Rights Code). Expect to partner up and be prepared to present some ideas to the rest of the class.
