You will need to finish up the climate description activity from yesterday and then begin work on drawing and interpreting four climate graphs (Day 72 in your week 15 package: Bahia, Brazil; Montreal, Quebec; New Orleans, Louisiana; and Yuma, Arizona). For help on how to draw climate graphs see:

C - Law 12 - Today we'll continue with our look at intentional torts. Yesterday we focused on assault and battery along with false imprisonment (both trespass to person). Today we'll look at and take a few notes down on the infliction of mental suffering along with trespass to property and defences to these intentional torts (consent, self-defence, defence of a third party, defence of property, legal authority, and necessity). Tomorrow we'll look at nuisance, defamation of character and strict liability in civil law. This gets us to the end of the torts unit in Law 12 and next week we'll begin our look at family law. For the time left in class you have another opportunity to work on your major project (due in 13 classes).
