B Block Law 12 - Today in Law I would like you to read the Thomas v Hamilton Board of Education
(1994) case and we'll talk about it together. If there's time then I'd like to look at the Thornton et al. v. Board of School Trustees of School District No.
57 (Prince George) et al. (1978) case together (kind of an important
case for non-pecuniary loss in Canada). We'll discuss this case and then we will spend the rest of
the class looking over the ten sob stories who walk through the doors of
your imaginary law firm for your major project.
A Block Social Studies 11 - We'll take a look at Canada's role in the post-Vietnam world in two
sections - the Trudeau Era and the Mulroney Era. Today we'll start with the Trudeau era. I'll give you a few notes and then I'll have you continue your definitions from yesterday including:
CIDA, la Francophonie, SALT, SDI, FIRA, FTA, NAFTA, Glasnost,
Perestroika and the end of the Cold War. You'll need to work on
questions 2, 3, and 4 from page 150 from the Counterpoints textbook
today.
D Block Criminology 12 - Today we'll watch the Law & Order: Special Victim's Unit episode
"Closure" This episode deals with the short and long-term effects of a
sexual assault on a victim.
From TV.com "Benson does her
best to help a rape victim who is able to describe her attack in
perfect detail, yet unable to properly identify her attacker when push
comes to shove. When the detectives revisit the case a few months
later, they find the woman even less willing to talk about what
happened, as she claims she has moved on."
I want you to think hard during this episode and pay careful attention to what happens with Harper's character. What
are the short and long term impacts on victims of Crime? Use Harper
in the Law & Order episode you watched today and Chapter 3 pages
54-7 in Criminology: The Core textbook to help. This will form the basis of your blog entry on Monday.
C Block Geography 12 - Today we'll continue our look at weather; working on an activity called “Air:
The High and Low of it” in your week 14 package. After you have finished
this activity you need to complete questions 19 and 21 from page 177 in
your Geosystems textbook.
Don't forget, we'll start the
class by looking at the synoptic chart for North America and begin to
understand weather station plots. Take some time on the following sites
to learn more and to practice your weather operational analysis
capabilities:
WW2010 - University of Illinois Weather site
National Weather Service "Jet Stream" online weather school
American Meteorological Society "Data Streme"
British Broadcasting Corporation Reading Weather Maps
USA Today Reading Weather Maps
Practise at: Weather Office (Environment Canada) Operational Analysis Charts or at the Data Streme site above
Nestled away, in the back corner of G.P. Vanier, you'll find room 115 (we used to be 611). Lurking in the shadows of this room is Mr. Young...waiting to pounce on unsuspecting students and natter on about volcanoes, hail, psychopathy, criminal law defenses, cultural diffusion, media theories, crime, and urban models of city development. He loves his job in 115 and can't wait to work with you this year.
