D Block Social Studies 11 - Today
we'll see what geographic
information we know of other regions in Canada and we'll look at stereotypes of
Canadian regions and examine why we have them. We'll try to figure out
what the concept "regionalism" means, see how it is affected by our
stereotypes, and determine how regionalism causes challenges to Canada
as a country. I'll have you draw mental maps of Canada (not from the maps on the
wall!) and get you to work in partners on a large scale map. You need to include as much detail about the geographic information you brainstormed yesterday which would include Canada's political geography
(provinces/territories/borders/capitals) and physical geography
(lakes/oceans/mountains/rivers/islands) as you can. When we finish,
we'll share our maps and discuss why it is difficult to conceptualize
and graphically represent our country.
C Block Criminology 12 - Today I want you to continue
with your brainstormed list of all the reasons you can think why someone
would commit a crime. We will collect all of your ideas on large sheets of paper with smelly felts and then try to categorize them into crime theory clusters (similar categories). After,
you'll present your ideas and then we'll begin our look at the nature
vs. nurture debate by focusing on the history of psychological and
sociological criminology (Power Point).
B Block Geography 12 - Today we'll work on learning to observe as a geographer would where
we'll look beyond simple observations and try to see a larger picture
with connections to the wider world. We'll practice an analysis of a
photo in class and you'll start working on your first assignment for the
course which is a geographic analysis of a photo from a Canadian
Geographic magazine. You'll need to use the Observing as a Geographer
Would questions (in your week 1 package that you'll get today) to help
with your analysis.
A Block Law 12 - Today we will continue our discussion on what crime is, why we have
laws, and figure out the difference between what is legal what is moral
and what is ethical. We'll partner up and get our ideas on big sheets of paper with some smelly felts so that we can have a discussion on the topic. Next we'll come up with a list of laws that we know
about (again with the pesky brainstorming - data dump) and then we'll take down a few notes on the five functions of
law.
