F/E Blocks Crim 12
Today we looked at a number of housekeeping things. Not being around for the last month meant that there were a lot of issues and gaps in learning that I was not around to smooth out. So I will fill in these gaps as we go along.
The first order of business was to look at the recent news out of Surrey. The murder rate in Surrey reached it highest point in its history at 24, whereas in Vancouver and Abbottsford hit its lowest level ever. We looked at why Surrey? What has Vancouver done to lower their rates.
The students commented on the fact that the land value and cost of living was lower for Surrey, thus you might have a different demographic of people living their.
As for solutions....more police, educate the public as to the ills of gangs, get into schools.
We looked at Victims and Victimology. I had the students take a quick victimization quiz and then we shared some personal stories of being victims of crime. We discussed the role of the victim in the criminal justice system and whether a bigger role should be given to victims of crime.

So we spent some time getting me caught up on what has been happening over the last month and a bit. It looks like most of the students still need time to finish off their French Revolution Project....students will have Friday to work on that.
We started talking about technology and how it affects our lives...students brainstormed how they use technology everyday....look at our phones...how many gadgets have become obsolete due to it.
The students then worked on a worksheet on why the Industrial Revolution started in Britain and finally how did the Industrial Revolution change Britain.
