Today's block order A B C D

Today we had a What do we know about Canada Quiz. Some of you did very well. After that we started on a map of Canada.
The map must include:- Provinces/Territories
- Capital cities
- Oceans
- colored
- bodies of water outlined
- no pencil
Due next class
Block C/D Law 12
We started the class with a discussion of what is a law? What is the purpose of having laws? Imagine what life would be like if we had not laws. The students decided that life with laws might be interesting but not very fun because of the lawlessness. Anarchy would not be too cool.
Next the discussion moved to where laws come from. The issues of morals and morality was the next topic discussed. Students suggested that our morals come from the following sources:
-parents
-peers
-religion
-school
-media
I shudder at the last one...but its true. The prevalence of the internet has changed society. Finally we discussed such topics as capital punishment/abortions/physically disciplining children....in relation to our individual morals.
The students then did an exercise on page 40 out of their textbooks that outlined how we would react in certain situations based on our morals.
Once that was finished we looked at the Criminal code and I gave the students an exercise that had them exploring how to use it.
Good day!
