D Block Criminology 12 - Today I'll start by giving you time to work on the questions about the Highway of Tears 48 Hours Mystery we watched yesterday. Don't forget to look at Agenda Setting, Framing and now Two-Step Flow media theories to help with your ideas. After a bit we're diving back in to media...this time, however, we are going to watch a Dateline video called "My Kid Would Never Do That: Stranger Danger".This episode deals with the fear associated with stranger abductions and tests whether kids would know what do to when confronted by someone who attempts to lure them. The Dateline website says:
While stranger abductions are rare, all parents worry about keeping kids safe. In this special report, parents and experts watch as the following scenarios unfold, testing whether or not children know what to do when approached by a stranger.
DATELINE NBC: MY KID WOULD NEVER DO THAT: STRANGER DANGER from Loren Burlando on Vimeo.
Check out these Facebook and Twitter posts in response to the show
So now for the reality of stranger danger and abductions...
- Stranger Danger doesn't teach what a stranger is
- It doesn't account for trusted adults and
- It can demonize all adults to children.
- What do you think the purpose of the "My Kid Would Never Do That: Stranger Danger" show and what assumptions or beliefs do its creators have that are reflected in the content?
- Who and what is shown in a positive light? In a negative light? Why might these people and things be shown this way? What conclusions might audiences draw based on these facts?
- What techniques does the Dateline show use to get your attention and to communicate its message?
C Block Human Geography 11 - It will be your task to research an ethnic conflict from around the world and create a hard copy poster (I will provide poster paper for you) to go up on the walls in the class. The intent behind the poster is to raise awareness of either a current of historical (20th Century) example of either ethnic cleansing or of genocide (for the purposes of this project the Holocaust is excluded). You will need to research and include the following:
- Background on your topic/issue- What is the issue? (*This should be the most comprehensive part of your research.)
- Who is involved/affected? Explain why. (Discuss leaders, groups, but also general impact on population)
- When- history/timeline of your issue/conflict. Has imperialism contributed to the conflict?
- Where- spatial context (this would be a good place to include a map). Have boundaries played a role in the conflict?
- How/ Why did your issue/conflict arise?
- What have been the impacts (positive and negative) of the issue?
- Has your issue ended or been resolved? If yes, explain how and when. If no, is there any indication of it ending? How do you think it could end?
- What awareness do you think your classmates need to know?
- Centrifugal and Centripetal forces surrounding the conflict
- International response to the conflict- UN involvement? NGO involvement? Individual countries?

B Block Physical Geography 12 - Today we'll look at atmospheric moisture, humidity, and the four atmospheric mechanisms that cool a parcel of air to its dew point & cause precipitation (orographic, convectional, frontal, and radiative cooling). You will complete questions 9 from page 211 and 21 & 23 from page 212 of your Geosystems textbook. While you are working on the questions I'll have the BBC DVD The Weather on for us to watch the WET episode. The Weather is a major BBC documentary exploring the extremes of the world's climate with the engaging presenter Donal MacIntyre and in WET we ride with the rain from the wettest place in Europe to the wettest place in the world, with a stop under the parched Texan skies, where farmers hope to harness the power of nature to create rain. From the first drop of a monsoon to the floods that kill millions each year, water brings life and death in equal measure.
