Day 21 - Thursday October 7. 2010

A Block Introduction to Law 9/10 - Today we will continue our look at crime scene investigation. We will look at the basic stages of a search, documenting evidence, and examples of what is included in a crime scene investigator's toolkit. After you'll have some time to continue your work on the "Clue Us In" crime scene reconstruction/investigation assignment that I posted on the blog Tuesday. Please don't forget that tomorrow you have a poster assignment due in class. I look forward to reading your research on nasty people.

C Block Law 12"Today we'll start our criminal law unit by going through the questions you placed in the "Law Question Box" in the class. Next we'll go through your brainstormed list of crimes and categorize them. After that we're going to look at the types of criminal offenses (summary conviction, indictable, hybrid) and the elements of a crime (with special attention focused on the Mens Rea - intent, knowledge, and recklessness).

D Block Geography 12 - Today we are going to finish watching the video on the May 18th, 1980, eruption at Mount Saint Helens. This will take up about the first 20 minutes of class time and then you have one question to address (on page 7 of your week 5 notes/package). Next I will review the upcoming project/ assignment that you have (building a new school in Orting Washington) and then we'll watch Mega Disasters: American Volcano to help. This is a sweet "what if" disaster video and it explains the dangers of the slumbering giant...Mount Rainier.

Now for fun (as if there isn't enough Volcano fun already in Geography 12)...

Remember how I was talking with you about walking on Lava in Hawaii? Below you'll find a YouTube video compilation of a series called "On the Volcanoes of the World" where French vulcanologist Guy de Saint Cyr takes people around the world to study Volcanoes....Sweet!


You could also watch the Hawaii episode here.

Or you could watch this...

Yeah that would probably be me.
