Today's schedule is C-D-A-B
Today I am at home with my son who is recovering from 5 teeth being removed from his head. In my stead is Ms. Hanson and I'm certain you'll have fun.
C Block Criminology 12 - Today we start with our first quiz in the course...RELAX I'm sure you'll
do fine. There is a bonus question for you should you choose to
complete it it will be on the board in the class for you. After, I’d
like you to read through the "Problems of Crime Victims" on pages 51-4
and "Theories of Victimization" dealing with Victim Precipitation,
Lifestyle, and Routine Activities on pages 61-64 in the Criminology: The Core text. After discussing these sections your job will be to complete the following:
1. Explain the impacts of crime on victims (both short and long term)
2. Explain and compare the three theories of crime victimization (as a silo chart) and
3. Questions 2 & 3 on page 72 in the text.
D Block Social Studies 11 - Yesterday we looked at the Senate of Canada and
you had a few questions on the Senate and Senate Reform to look at.
Remember that the Senate plays an important role in the leadership of
this country - just not as pronounced as the executive headed by the
Prime Minister. Today I'd like to begin a discussion on the qualities of leadership.
In essence I want you to think about people who you would follow and
describe what makes a good leader. Try to avoid confusing leadership
with success and popularity. So with a partner brainstorm a list of
people who you think make good leaders and identify the qualities or
traits of leadership that you admire or think are important. When we're
finished going over your ideas work on the following questions:
1. What are your top five qualities of leadership? Explain them with examples to help.
2. How can leaders motivate people to follow them and get people to be involved in social issues?
3. What is the worst fault a leader can have? Why?
4. Can you be a good leader but not be a good communicator? Why or why not?
5. Why is it important to have a good leader as the Prime Minister of Canada?
A Block Law 12 - Today, we'll identify what our fundamental freedoms are (section 2 a-d of the Charter) and today we'll build on that. In partners I'll have you work on the R. v. Oakes (1986) case which established the "Oakes Test" in Canadian law which allows reasonable limitations on rights and freedoms through legislation if it can be demonstrably justified in a free and democratic society. Then, on your own, you'll need to complete questions 1-5 on page 40 of the All About Law text. After that I'll have you back in partners to work through the Multani v. Commission scolaire Marguerite-Bourgeoys (2006) case on pages 41-42 of the All About Law text
B Block Geography 12 - Today we'll finish our work on the Prince Rupert topographic map from the Canadian Landscape
(pages 20 - 23). We finished question
1 yesterday and you'll have
time today to work on the rest of the assignment that will be due
tomorrow (questions 2, 3, 4 a & b, 5, 7 a,b,d & e, and 9 a & b).
Use Google Earth or Google Maps to help you with this assignment and
don't forget here are a few webpages to help:
Natural Resources Canada Toporama
Reading Topographic Maps
United States Geological Survey Reading Topo Maps
Idaho State University Interpreting Topo Maps
Natural Resources & Water Queensland Australia Interpreting Topo Maps pdf
I will also be collecting your Week 2 packages in class to mark today.
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.
