Day 8 - Friday September 17. 2010

C - Law 12 - Today we will begin our 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). You and your partner will need to combine your lists of ten rights into one and then partner up with another group of two. Combine your lists on a large sheet of paper, prioritize them and then we'll present these. When finished we'll watch an episode of Law & Order "Vendetta" (Season 14 Episode 21 from 2004).


D - Geography 12 - Today we'll do a brief introduction to topographic maps and I'll show you how to identify location, estimate area, calculate slope, and determine direction on them. Here are a few webpages to help:
Natural Resources Canada Toporama
Reading Topographic Maps
Mount Union College Reading Topo Maps
United States Geological Survey Reading Topo Maps

Idaho State University Interpreting Topo Maps
Montana State University Interpreting Topo Maps

Natural Resources & Water Queensland Australia Interpreting Topo Maps pdf

Next we'll work on the Prince Rupert topographic map from the Canadian Landscape (pages 20 - 23 & click on the map above). I'll need you to work on questions 1, 2, 3, 4 a & b, 5, 7 a,b,d & e, and 9 a & b. Use Google Earth or Google Maps to help you with this assignment and if you have a problem or question you should post a comment on this blog entry or e-mail me at my school address.

A - Introduction to Law 9/10 - Today we are going to watch an episode of "I Detective" called Terror Tactics. In this show the investigation of a crime is followed and at key points the narration stops and you'll be asked to make a decision as if you were a detective in the case. I will ask you to keep track of your choices and we'll see what kind of criminal investigator / detective you'd make!
