Ecuador Trip!!!!
MPC is Going to Ecuador!
Monarch Park has been very privileged to partner with the organization Me to We.
For the past 7 years students from Monarch Park have been venturing outside their
comfort zone and doing the adventure of a lifetime. They have built schools in
Kenya, India and soon in Ecuador. Ecuador is a new location that has never been
traveled to by Monarch Park students. The goal is to help a mountain village with a
medical facility, a school, or some other form of building or aid that is most needed
at the time. The trip will begin when students fly into Quito, the highest capital in
the world. Fully scheduled by EF ‘Education First’ Tours, our voluntour will make
it’s way to Me to We’s Minga Lodge in the Amazon. Keep in mind that this was not
named after Monarch Park’s Minga social justice club. The Ecuador trip has been
called a “Must do for young students” by other schools that have been on the trip
and is much closer than India. There will be no problem with jet lag from a long
flight around the globe. In the past students have returned more focused and
determined to shape the world around them in a positive manner and the group
going in the spring of 2015 will be no different. All these trips would not have
happened without the support of teaching and administration staff at Monarch Park.
Additionally, special thanks to Ms. Ferry and Mr. Limerick for organizing this trip.
We wish our students, some who may be traveling out of the country for the first
time, good luck and have fun helping others. Also, look out for fundraising events
and more cool stuff coming your way.

Othello test answers
Othello Act 2 Test
Answers
Part A/ Modern English
I ’m amazed
you are standing in front of me(or got here ahead of me)
But my soul is
overjoyed!!
My love, if
the calm after the storm could always be this wonderful,
I’d want the
wind to blow until it waked the dead,
Let my ship be
rocked by the waves
as whipped
up as tall as mountains(or Mount
Olympus)!
As high as the
length from heaven to hell
If I died
right now I’d be most happy,
For I
fear I’ll probably never feel as
absolutely satisfied
as this again
in my life.
Othello is
speaking to Des. There is foreshadowing here in the last two lines, because
Othello is not going to be as satisfied again….
Part B:
Part
B: Short Answers /10
(2 marks each)
1.Who says “the wine she drinks is made of
grapes?” to whom? Iago to Roderigo
2.What does the line above mean in your own
words?he is saying that Des is not so special. That she is but a mere human and
eats and drinks like everyone else and is therefore like everyone else.
3.Name two ways that Michael Cassio is
falling into Iago’s trap.
Cassio is flirting with Des.by kissing her
hand in public. He also praises her too highly.
4.What is the format that Iago uses when he
criticizes Emilia and all women? Describe how he does this.
Iago is bringing up praise of women only to
then belittle the praise. He shows that even the best women are flawed and that
all women are manipulative and good for nothing except household and wifely
duties.
5.Give two adjectives that people have used
to describe the Moor’s personality.
Valiant and brave

CLU 3M-Ideal Prison
Grade 11 Criminal Law Unit: Designing
the Ideal Prison
Due:_____________
Group
Members:____________________
In
the criminal law unit, we are examining the questions:
How does the criminal
justice system really work?
How well does it
serve and protect Canadians?
Are we successfully
rehabilitating our offenders so that they become productive members of society?
One
of the pressing issues in the criminal justice system in Canada right now is prison reform, so we are going to
address it here.
This table is the
‘New Vision’ for Correctional Services Canada.
|
Transformation of CSC: A New Vision
|
|
1. Stronger focus on how all our efforts contribute
to public safety (our primary goal)
|
|
2. Consistency in the key fundamentals of delivering
correctional services in a national organization
|
|
3. Higher level of integration in various aspects of
our work:
|
|
Particularly between the institutions and the community
|
|
4. The parameters of professional judgment and
exercising of creativity will be strengthened and clearly enunciated
|
|
5. Issues of accountability will be clearer for
everyone involved in delivering correctional services in a national
organization
|
Assignment Criteria:
- You are required
to investigate 2-3 foreign prison systems, in addition to the
characteristics of the current Canadian penal system.
- Utilising the
media and the Internet, you want to note information on living conditions,
statistics (recidivism rates, deaths in prisons etc.), educational and
rehabilitation programs offered etc in these foreign prison systems. This research will help to
provide the context for designing an ideal Canadian prison. You
will use the both the positive
and negative
aspects of these systems to help in designing ‘the ideal prison’. You
should briefly touch upon this information at some point during your
presentation- ie. how your knowledge of these prison systems influenced
your decisions with regards to creating your prison. We will watch a few
documentaries in class.
Some
helpful websites to visit: John Howard Society www.johnhoward.on.ca, Amnesty
International www.amnesty.org, as well as
Correctional Service Canada www.csc-scc.gc.ca
and the CBC: www.cbc.ca/news of course!
- You will work in
a group of 3-4 students to complete this task. Each team will be
responsible for preparing and presenting a proposal for an ideal prison. The proposal must
include the architectural
layout (cells, dining facilities, recreation areas, surveillance
equipment, guards and staff etc) as
well as a detailed description of the programs offered (health, training,
counselling, rehabilitation etc.) and the philosophy and mission statement of your correctional
facility. As a group, you can
decide whether your prison will be a minimum, medium, or maximum security
facility and whether it will house female or male inmates.
- In your group you need to answer the
following questions:
- How will our prison be different? Why? How will our prison help to
deliver the 4 main purposes of sentencing better than our current system?
What measures do we have
in place to measure success? How do we know if our program choices are addressing
prisoner needs? How
are we incorporating CSC’s new vision?(Chapter 11)
- It is important
for your team to ensure that both your prison’s programs and architecture
receive attention.
7.For
the presentation portion of this assignment, your group will act as independent
consultants from various sectors of law enforcement that have been asked to
submit your proposal to Correctional Services Canada in the hopes of winning
the bid to reform the Canadian penal system. We will determine a class winner!
You essentially need to ‘sell’ your idea to the class (CSC). You may want to
consider having a logo for your prison and slogan. Creativity is an asset in
this assignment. This will be done in a CAROSEL setting.
8.We
should leave the presentation understanding what a day in the life of a
prisoner would be in your facility. Therefore, you should have a typical daily
schedule/list of responsibilities for an inmate laid out for us.
9.All
ideas for prison programs should be supported by research.
