B Block Criminology - I have the Library booked for you today so that you may continue/finish the media analysis questions you need to work on about the Highway of Tears video from Friday. Please make sure you read through each question and understand what is asked of you, then use the links I gave you to help:
- What main story do you think Investigative Reporters Bob Friel and Peter Van Zant wanted to tell (Is it about Madison Scott? Loren Leslie? Cody Legebokoff? Colleen MacMillen? Pamela Darlington? Gale Weys? Bobby Jack Fowler? Ramona Wilson?) How can you infer that? How much of the episode focused on the actual missing women from the Highway of Tears? (Look at the Media Smarts article Media Portrayals of Missing and Murdered Aboriginal Women) compare that to the Gloria Steinem Woman episode and/or “Highway of Tears” film by Natanael Johansson
- Why did the show focus on Madison Scott first, Loren Leslie next and then the victims along the Highway of Tears afterwards? (Look at the article NEWSWORTHY” VICTIMS? Exploring differences in Canadian local press coverage of missing/murdered Aboriginal and White women along with the NPR article What We Know (And Don't Know) About 'Missing White Women Syndrome' or the New Yorker article The Long American History of “Missing White Woman Syndrome")
- What audience do reality crime shows appeal to & why do you think so (think demographics - age or gender or social class or occupation - and Psychographics - personal attitudes and values like security or status or caring or exploration/growth) What can Uses and Gratification Theory do to help explain the audience for True Crime stories? What techniques did the editors and storytellers of the 48 Hours Mystery show use to get you invested in the story of the episode? Compare that to the Gloria Steinem Woman episode and/or “Highway of Tears” film by Natanael Johansson
- What "values" does the 48 Hours Mystery on the Highway of Tears communicate to its audience? Why do you think the producers and editors framed the story the way that they did? Compare that to the Gloria Steinem Woman episode and/or “Highway of Tears” film by Natanael Johansson
A Block Physical Geography - We will continue our look at winds and pressure circulations. We'll understand where the permanent areas of high and low pressure are on the planet and figure out what that means for a macro-scale pressure gradient wind pattern. We'll also talk about the Horse Latitudes, the Bermuda Triangle, and the Doldrums. Lastly, we'll work on an activity called “Air: The High and Low of it”. You will need to complete three questions:
- How does air exert pressure? Describe the basic instrument used to measure air pressure. Compare the operation of two different types of instruments discussed. (pages 64-5 Geosystems Core)
- What is the relation among the Aleutian low, the Icelandic low, and migratory low-pressure cyclonic storms in North America? In Europe? (page 70 & 73 Geosystems Core)
- Describe the seasonal pressure patterns that produce the Asian monsoonal wind and precipitation patterns. Contrast January and July conditions. (page 75 Geosystems Core)
To Help:
UCAR The Highs and Lows of Air Pressure
Weather Works High and Low Pressure

And:
Don't forget that every day we are going to start by looking at the synoptic forecast along with weather maps.
