C Block Law 12 - Today we'll finish the Law & Order episode from Friday and I will have you make the decision in the case. You're the judge...would you find the defendant innocent or guilty? Why? Friday we looked at rights that we felt were important to us. We worked in groups to build lists and presented our ideas to class. We'll finish this activity this afternoon and then we'll take a look at the different types of rights (civil, legal, & human) we have in Canada. Today we'll identify three sections of the Charter of Rights and Freedoms that limit your individual rights and then work on the Ford v. Attorney General of Quebec (1988) case.

D Block Geograhy 12 - On Friday we started a topographic map assignment on Prince Rupert in class. We did question 1 together and today we need to complete the map assignment by working on questionthe rest of question 1 along with questions 2, 3, 4 a & b, 5, 7 a,b,d & e, and 9 a & b. You'll need to complete this assignment today and if not then you'll need to complete it for homework tonight.
