Happy Valentines Day Family
Today's schedule is Today's schedule is D-AG-C-B-A
C Block Social Studies 10 - Today we'll continue to work on the foundations of Geography focusing on the Five Themes. In order to understand the increasingly complex and interconnected world we live in we need to find a way to make sense of information in a way that doesn't overwhelm us. The Five Themes (Location, Place, Human-Environment Interactions, Movement, and Regions) are a framework for making sense of geographic data. Yesterday we talked about Location and Place and today we'll finish the explanation of the themes. Lastly we'll deal with systems and spheres of geography and you should be caught up to grade 10 for geographic skills and content for Social Studies. Once we've completed this work we'll shift into our Physiographic Regions of Canada poster / presentation assignment. We'll be in the library on Friday through Wednesday next week to start work on the project (don't forget that Monday is a Professional Development Day and you're not at school).
B Block Social Studies 11 - Today we'll have the block to work on the bill into law comic / cartoon that we started yesterday. Don't forget to use the Make it Law sheet we used to form ideas yesterday and the legislative process steps I outlined with you in class. If you need help look in your Counterpoints textbook and the Parliament of Canada "Follow That Bill" website. Today will be the last day for you to work on this activity and I'll have some smelly felts, markers, rulers, coloured pencils, scissors, glue, and magazines for you to get this done..it's due Friday this week (that would be tomorrow) so get as much done in class today as you can please.
A Block Law 9/10 - Today you have the class work on the following assignment:
Every day we have specific routines we engage in. Many of these routines are tailored to preventing us from becoming victims of crime. We do things like lock our doors, watch where we walk at night, or avoid walking alone. We take these actions because at some level we are afraid of the possibility of being a victim of crime. Despite taking these actions people often fall prey to crime in Canada.
Is there a “typical” victim of crime? I would like you to explain and draw the typical victim of that crime now. I want you to think about STEREOTYPES...What would the stereotypical victim of an assault look like and behave like? An assault is any unwanted application of force so who would be the typical person in school that would be punched, shoved, or picked on? You will need to keep in mind the demographic statistics about victims and the factors that add to the risks of being a victim. This will be due on Friday. You will need to look at the following factors when determining who might be a target for violent crime in Canada:
• Gender
• Age
• Social Status (wealth and social cohorts)
• Relationship status
• Behaviour / Demeanour
• Location
So there are two things you need to accomplish:
A) Identify the characteristics listed above of the most likely victim of that crime (you may cheat and look in the course handout/booklet I gave you to see some characteristics - look at page 4)
B) Draw what you believe the typical victim of the violent crime, that you chose, to look like (11 x 17 paper will be provided for you).
