D Block Human Geography 11 - Today we'll finish up out themes of geography and take a look at our key question Why is each point on Earth unique? We'll figure out the difference between place and region (hint think scale) and talk about toponyms, site and situation and look at the differences between formal, functional and vernacular regions.
C Block Criminology 12 - Today we'll finish our brief history of criminology (from B.C.E up to and including the current theories). For Monday, you need to create your own theory of why crime happens.
B Block Introduction to Law 10 - Today you'll read through Suzanne's story and then list out all of the "social exclusions" that led to her life of crime and all of the "economic exclusions" that led to her life of crime. This will be on the handout I gave you yesterday. The back of the handout is on Crime Theories. I'd like you to look at the questions on the page and put a check mark (if you agree) or an x (if you disagree) next to the question. I need you to evaluate them (what you like about them and what you disagree with them about)...don't worry we'll go through them together in class today. After, you'll have to create your own theory of why crime happens. Use the brainstormed list we did in class along with the handouts you received today and yesterday. I'll place more info on the blog tomorrow.
A Block Law 12 - Today we'll jump back in to our Introduction to Law unit, first by quickly reviewing the five functions of law along with the divisions of Public (criminal, constitutional, and administrative) and Private law (tort, family, contract, property, and labour law). Next, we'll look at Hammurabi, Mosaic law, Common law, Precedent and Case law. Finally, we'll look at Precedent and Case law. We'll work on understanding case citations (R. v. Kerr, 2004, and Grant v. Dempsey, 2001). We'll discuss the "rule of law" and quickly review the Social Studies 11 topics of our constitution and how laws are made.
I'll have you work on questions from page 21 of the All About Law textbook:
- Question 2 How did the English common law system develop?
- Question 3 How is the rule of precedent used in today’s system of law? and
- Question 5 Explain the significance of statute law as a source of law?
