Today's schedule is A-B-C-D-X
A Block Law 9/10 - Today we'll finish our criminal profiling unit by watching a Fifth
Estste episode called the Unrepentant, from the CBC Fifth Estate website...
They are marked by their ability to kill without passion and without remorse. Some are called psychopaths - a term that evokes nightmare images of murderers and monsters. But the label can also apply to men and women who are successful, intelligent, charismatic, charming and amusing - and so all the more dangerous. This week on the fifth estate, Linden MacIntyre looks at what makes a psychopath through the fifth estate's close encounters with of four of Canada's most frightening criminals.
The fifth estate begins with "Lightning" Lee, a former kick-boxer who brutally victimized women and children who was described as a "textbook psychopath." The other criminals MacIntyre takes on didn't outwardly seem to be the type - the respected commander of an air force base, Russell Williams; and Karla Homolka, who convinced police and a psychiatrist she was a victim, even though she helped her husband assault and kill young girls, including her own younger sister. Finally, MacIntyre revisits the harrowing story of two teenaged friends who conspired to murder one of their families and were caught in a controversial RCMP sting. They are all disordered personalities, whose lack of empathy and shame inspires both fear and fascination.
B Block Social Studies 11 - Today I have the library booked for you to continue working on your
political party assignment. Remember you need to create a party, a platform, a
logo, a slogan and a campaign that will convince people to vote for your party.
Don't forget that the campaign begins on Monday, March 4th and lasts until the official day of
voting which is Friday, March 8th. Today is the last day for work on this assignment in class until the election next Friday so get your social media campaigns ready to go (Facebook, Tumblr, Twitter, Pintrest) or your television commercial videos filmed or radio podcast commercials ready. Posters can go up on Monday (the first day of campaigning) and I hope you're ready for the rigors of your campaign next week. Good luck.
C Block Social Studies 10 - Today is your Map, Geography, and Canadian Physiographic Regions unit final. You
have as much time in today's class to complete the test as necessary but it
should take no more than 45-50 minutes. If you came prepared I am certain that
you will do fine. When you're done the test we'll finish the Over Canada video we started yesterday in class. Good luck.
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.
