Today's schedule is A-B-C-D
A Block Social Studies 11 - Today with Ms. Krahn...we’ll be looking at the key information (who, what, when, where,
why and significance) of the battles of Dieppe, Ortona, Netherlands
liberation and D-Day (Operation Overloard). The D-Day operation of June 6, 1944 brought together the land, air
and sea forces of the allied armies in what became known as the largest
invasion force in human history. We’ll discuss the horrors of modern
warfare and the insanely difficult conditions that the allied soldiers
had on Juno, Gold, Sword, Utah, and Omaha beaches, and watch a clip from
Saving Private Ryan
After this we’ll take a look at some questions about the battles we’ve covered from previous provincial exams. We’ll end the class with episode 5 ‘Hiding the Horrors’ from Love,
Hate and Propaganda. This episode opens with the D-Day invasions, and
discusses how the Allied High Command hid the true human cost of taking
Normandy, both for the allied soldiers and for the unfortunate citizens
of Northern France, who suffer enormous casualties as the Germans
retreat and the Allies advance. Those of you who have not finished your propaganda poster assignment will have a chance to do so during this time.
Extra: The docu-drama ‘Storming Juno’ offers a good look at the
Canadian assault of Juno Beach on D-Day, as told via reenactment and
through interviews with those who were there. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QrHTH1jYOhw&feature=relmfu
B Block Law 12 - Today we'll start by talking about searches and warrants. I'll go through a "Valid/Invalid" search activity with you and then we'll watch an episode of Law & Order from season 10 called "Mother's Milk". In the episode "bloodstains in an apartment that belonged to a young couple with a baby
leads to the separated parents, each of whom claims that the other has
the infant". Think about warrants and searches when the detectives are searching for the Beltran baby. Also I'd like you to pay attention to the examination that ADA Abby Carmichael has of witnesses on the stand during trial (as a preview for the trial unit next week). I'll stop the episode right before the decision and have you tell me what you'd decide if you were the presiding judge in the case.
C Block Geography 12 - Today you have your Gradation Unit Final test. This test will take the
whole class to complete and if came prepared then I am certain you will
do fine. Relax, breathe, and dazzle me with what you know.
D Block Criminology 12 - Today we'll finish our activity that we started at the end of class yesterday...using the text (which we'll grab from the library today) and your brains you need to come up with a list of
things that are deviant but not criminal and a list of things that are
criminal but not deviant. After you'll need to take one act from either
list and explain why it should be criminalized or why it should be
decriminalized. Work with the people around you to gather ideas and then write out a paragraph on WHY the act in question should be criminalized or decriminalized. After we'll watch an episode of Criminal Minds from Season 1 called "What Fresh Hell?" - When a young girl is abducted in broad daylight
from a playground in a seemingly safe neighborhood, the BAU initially
believes her father is responsible. When he is able to provide an alibi,
the team is forced to look for clues near where the girl lives to determine who is really responsible.
Nestled away, in the back corner of G.P. Vanier, you'll find room 115 (we used to be 611). Lurking in the shadows of this room is Mr. Young...waiting to pounce on unsuspecting students and natter on about volcanoes, hail, psychopathy, criminal law defenses, cultural diffusion, media theories, crime, and urban models of city development. He loves his job in 115 and can't wait to work with you this year.

Today's schedule is D-C-B-A
D Block Criminology 12 - Yesterday we talked about the history of Criminology and looked at some important concepts and people (Beccaria, Lombroso, Durkheim) and we ended with the concept of "Anomie". This concept refers to criminology in that deviance comes from situations where people are confused or unclear about norms (expectations on behaviour). So, today we'll look at the difference between deviance and criminal behaviour (acts that are criminal but not deviant and deviant but not criminal). What is deviant behaviour? A simple explanation of deviant behaviour could be any action that violates cultural norms (formal norms like laws - or informal norms like nose picking). This is a difficult concept because what an individual or sub culture in society defines as deviant is contextually situated (meaning what I think is deviant may be different for you; it is subjective - influenced by personal considerations).
Take smoking in public. You may think that this behaviour is acceptable because an individual has the choice to consume a cigarette and they are merely harming themselves...no problem right? You may, however, think this behaviour is unacceptable. Second-hand smoke is hurtful to others because they could be harmed by someone else's behaviour. So what is deviant in many cases is subjective. What is criminal is the codification of what a society as a whole deems as deviant. Homicide is criminal because as a society we believe that taking another life is unacceptable and deviates from the accepted cultural norm that we wish our country to be like.
So using the text and your brains you need to come up with a list of things that are deviant but not criminal and a list of things that are criminal but not deviant. After you'll need to take one act from either list and explain why it should be criminalized or why it should be decriminalized.
C Block Geography 12 - Today we are continuing our work on the Medicine Hat Topographic map. You need your Canadian Landscape topographic map book and the Medicine Hat map can be found on pages 40-42. You will need to work on questions 1 a, b and d, 2 a, 3 a-e, 4, 7 a-d, 8 and 9. This work is due on Monday but you should get it finished by the end of class today. If you don't get this work finished and wish to work on this activity out of the class I would highly suggest you ask me questions ahead of time. You can find topographic maps of Medicine Hat on Google Maps (Type in Medicine Hat Alberta on a Google search and click on maps at the top and then choose "Terrain" as an option). Do not forget that you have a unit final test tomorrow. Please take all of your marked/corrected work out of the bin in the class and spend some time preparing this weekend.
For other maps and information on Medicine Hat that will help you with some of the topographic map assignment questions check out Tourism Medicine Hat
B Block Law 12 - Today is your Criminal Law mid-unit test. Your first order of business is to relax, then settle in and then dazzle me with what you know. The test should take the main portion of the class today but if you do finish early then you can work on questions 2 & 4 on page 154 of the All About Law text (the role of the police and the extent of their powers). If you prepared then I'm certain that you'll do fine on the test today. There are about two weeks left in the Criminal Law unit (finishing pre-trial and then moving into trial procedures and sentencing options) and after we'll begin our focus on Civil Law in Canada.

Today's schedule is B-A-D-C
B Block Law 12 - Today in Law we'll start looking at arrests and warrants in Canada. Our focus will be on the options police have if they believe a suspect has committed a crime. We'll talk about appearance notices & arrests (both warrantless and warrant arrests) and we'll also talk about the duties of police officers. I'll have you work on questions 3 & 5 on page 149 and questions 2 & 4 on page 154 of the All About Law text.
A Block Social Studies 11 - Today with Ms. Krahn...we’ll finish up the group work with the 5 battles we were looking at yesterday (Battle of Dunkirk, Battle of Britain, Operation Barbarossa, Pearl Harbor and Battle of Hong Kong). Here is a link to the handout that was distributed in class yesterday
We’ll also look at the events of the Dieppe raid and the Battle of Ortona, and we’ll watch a clip from Love, Hate & Propaganda. After this, we’ll discuss the role of propaganda in WWII, and you will then work on your own WWII propaganda poster. Here is the link to the assignment handout: The poster assignment is due FRIDAY APRIL 20th. You will have part of this class and tomorrow’s class to work on it.We will go over examples of types of posters in class.
Here are some links to different styles of posters:
Canadian WWII propaganda posters
British propaganda posters
Russian propaganda posters

D Block Criminology 12 - Today I want to continue with our look at the nature vs. nurture debate that we kind of started yesterday, again focusing on the history of psychological and sociological criminology. I'll start with a quick power point on the topic and I'll have you take a few notes down in order to help with next Monday's activity (below)

Today's schedule is C-D-A-B
C Block Geography 12 - Today we will look at deserts and desert environments. We'll see what Tim & Moby have to say about deserts and we'll analyze the different types of deserts. I'll show you the Namib desert and the Skeleton Coast and then you'll define alluvial fan, playa, yardang, and sand dune. You'll have a question on desertification and there are some good websites to help here:
United Nations Convention to Combat Desertification
USGS Desertification page
Green Facts Scientific page on Desertification
If there's time we'll watch the Planet Earth video on Deserts. Do not forget that you have a unit final test on Thursday.
Great Sand Dune National Park Colorado, U.S.A.
Do you know what used to be under the Saharan desert sands? Nope not candy. Check out the image and article on Visible Earth about ancient riverbeds below the Saharan sands and also Check out the article here about "lost" cities found underneath the Libyan desert.
D Block Criminology 12 - Today I want you to continue with your brainstormed list of all the reasons you can think why someone would commit a crime. Yesterday we collected all of your ideas on the board and tried to categorize them into crime theory clusters. Today you'll present your ideas and after we'll begin our look at the nature vs. nurture debate by focusing on the history of psychological and sociological criminology (Power Point). For Monday, you need to create your own theory of why crime happens. Remember you need to use the brainstormed list we did in class along with the notes you take today on the history of Criminology. Use the Crime Theory Web Site found on this link. To start next week, we'll look at the difference between deviance and criminal behaviour (acts that are criminal but not deviant and deviant but not criminal) and the three views on crime (interactionist, consensus, conflict).
A Block Social Studies 11 - Today with Ms. Krahn...we’ll be discussing the innovations made in military technology during WWII. We’ll define the following terms together and discuss their significance: submarines, radar, atomic bomb, V-2 rocket, coding machine, jet-propelled airplanes, synthetics, and medical technology. You’ll also look at page 112 in your Counterpoints textbook, and select one innovation you think is the most important, and defend your choice.
After this, we’ll move into a group/jigsaw activity to look at the military strategic movements in Europe and the Pacific at the beginning of World War Two. You’ll be looking at the following:
1. Evacuation of Dunkirk (Counterpoints, p. 106)
2. Battle of Britain (Counterpoints p. 106-107)
3. Operation Barbarossa (Counterpoints p. 107-108)
4. Pearl Harbour (Counterpoints p. 108)
5. Invasion of Hong Kong (Counterpoints p. 108)
B Block Law 12 - We'll start with a quick review of the Criminal Law defenses we've been looking at and then I'll get you ready for Thursday's mid-unit test. After this I'll give you the rest of the class to get yourself organized for the test this Thursday. Don't forget to ask questions and seek help if you need it.

Welcome back family. I hope your break was restful and exciting all at the same time. There are only 46 classes remaining so let's get at it.
Today's schedule is A-B-C-D
A Block Social Studies 11 - Today with Ms. Krahn...Today we’ll start off with a quick review of the lead up to WWII. I will hand out a map for you to complete that depicts Hitler’s aggression in Europe from 1936-1939, and you will also get a copy of this note-taking handout (http://www.box.com/s/8940e1aa453f8ded5ede) that covers the outbreak of the war, the key players involved, and Canada’s response to the events in Europe.
We’ll watch the episode ‘Canada Goes to War’ from the Canada: A People’s History series, and we’ll discuss the differences between Canada’s declaration of war in WWI and WWII. We’ll also discuss why Canadians signed up to go to war once again, PM King’s desire to avoid another conscription crisis, and the British Commonwealth Air Training Plan.
After this, you’ll work in pairs to make a chart of the effects of the war on the Canadian economy. You’ll use information from your Counterpoints textbook and the handout I will give you to complete your chart. You will list the effect, whether it was positive or negative on the economy, and the reason why the effect was +/-
Example:
Effect Positive/Negative Reason
B Block Law 12 - Today we are back in the library for our last day to work on our Canadian Criminal Defense project. Don't forget that you need to find three recent (in the last two years) criminal cases where a defense we discussed this past week was used. The defenses are: Alibi, Non-Insane Automatism, Intoxication, Insane Automatism, Battered Woman Syndrome, Self-defense, Necessity, Duress, Ignorance of the law, Mistake of fact, Entrapment, Double jeopardy, and Provocation. Places to find cases - CanLII is a non-profit organization managed by the Federation of Law Societies of Canada. CanLII's goal is to make Canadian law accessible for free on the Internet. Click through the databases on the side (provinces and territories) and search by year (2012-2011-2010)...anytime you see Supreme/Superior court or court of Queen's Bench you'll find serious criminal casesd (remember look for R. v. in the case citation). Canoe is is a leading Canadian internet portal offering news, sports and entertainment from Sun Media. Crime news stories can be found in the Crime portion of the News section.
C Block Geography 12 - Today we're looking at glaciers and we'll make sense of how they erode the landscape and examine the landforms they create. We'll understand the differences amongst the various alpine and continental glaciers and we'll define: cirque, arete, pyramidical peak, hanging valley, truncated spur, esker, drumlin, kettle lake, and fjord; along with questions 3, 8, and 12 from page 587 in your Geosystems text.

D Block Criminology 12 - Welcome to Criminology 12. Today we will go through the course outline package and see what crimes we have in store for the next two months. After we finish looking at the outline, I have two questions that I'd like you to brainstorm:
What is the purpose of laws and what is a crime ?
Why do people commit crime?
After a few minutes I'd like you to partner up and get your ideas on a large sheet of paper to share with the class. We'll try to make sense of your ideas and will continue this through tomorrow. This will lead us into an exploration of criminological theory.
Today's schedule is A-B-C-D

D Block Criminology 12 - Welcome to Criminology 12. Today we will go through the course outline package and see what crimes we have in store for the next two months. After we finish looking at the outline, I have two questions that I'd like you to brainstorm:
What is the purpose of laws and what is a crime ?
Why do people commit crime?
After a few minutes I'd like you to partner up and get your ideas on a large sheet of paper to share with the class. We'll try to make sense of your ideas and will continue this through tomorrow. This will lead us into an exploration of criminological theory.
