B Block Legal Studies - Just a reminder that tomorrow afternoon we have Cst. Terragni from the Comox Valley Detachment of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police coming in for a chat with you. Today I'd like to brainstorm and discuss the questions you're interested in asking Cst. Terragni about policing, careers and any questions she may be able to address about criminal law in Canada. After, you'll need to answer question 5 on page 175 of the All About Law text “Explain plea negotiation and outline the advantages and disadvantages of the process. In your opinion, is justice served by plea negotiations?”
At the end of the class we'll examine the Provincial Superior court room, focusing on courtroom organization and then we'll discuss the roles and responsibilities of the judge, the crown prosecutor, defense counsel, the court clerk, court recorder, and sheriff. From the Canadian Department of Justice:
For help on these people's roles check out Courts of BC Intro to Supreme Court and Supreme Court of BC Criminal Trials
- To help employees identify people who are shoplifting and
- To explain how to reduce shoplifting in stores (target hardening and target removal strategies)
Look at yesterday's and Monday's blog entry for help. You may use the rest of the class to complete your poster and will be handed in on Friday for marks.
D/C Blocks Social and Environmental Sciences - In D Block with Ms. Nadeau you'll be back in the Library/Learning Commons to continue your work, researching the many implications of your chosen food item, from land use, environmental impacts to human impacts. Don't forget you're compiling your research to create an oral presentation to educate your peers about agriculture, food, and environmental impacts. Remember the questions you need to answer for your oral presentations:
- What is the crop and farming practice? Clearly describe the product and the methods.
- What are the benefits? Efficiency? Economic benefits?
- Describe places in the world where these methods are being used. Give clear examples.
- Who is producing the product ? Who (or what) is consuming the product? Who is profiting?
- What are the negative impacts or problems associated with these methods? Environmental? Land Use? Indigenous Groups? Human rights/health?
- What are your group member’s personal ethical judgments of this farming practice?
- Are there any initiatives or efforts to change these problems? Fair Trade?
Please look at yesterday's blog entry to see the URL/web page addresses prepared as a starting point for the research you need to conduct. Tomorrow we're outside for the Lush Valley Mushroom Log Workshop at the Community Gardens across the road from Vanier. Remember to wear warm clothes...bundle up as it will be a "Balmy" -1 degrees tomorrow morning 😬
In C Block, with Benton, food comes from soil, so you'll continue your look at soils. Today we are going to look at soil: specifically structure, properties, formation, classification and seeing how soil classes are related to biomes and climates. We'll understand what a soil profile looks like and discover how colour, texture, and acidity differentiate soils.
