PROGRAMME STRUCTURE: An EOTC Experience



TUESDAY PERIOD 1

Here is a brief explanation of the learning structure for this project.  This period you will have a look at the weekly plans to see the expected timeframe for the planning and identify the different areas you need to research and provide evidence for.

The next lesson will provide more opportunities to link the planning and EOTC activities to each learning area.

The video is very fast so pause on each slide to read and check the images.

Science block 3

Kia ora ladies,

Today you have one period in which to complete this task - we will read through slide together and then you will be free to use the rest of the period to finish this task.

So far our science tasks have been:
Science block one - learning about the periodic table, elements and molecules
Science block two - what is plastic and how is it made?

and today's:
Science block three - The life cycle of a plastic bag

All of your science mahi needs to be completed and handed in at the end of this week to the google classroom- in total they are worth 3 credits.

Once you have completed todays task - post your infographic onto your blog - and submit all three science tasks onto the google classroom.

I will be meeting with each of you throughout periods 1-4 to discuss your current progress with JCEA and also your outstanding mahi or support you might need for the debates that are coming up.

Kia kaha tonu.

Justice System - AGAINST

Against New Zealand justice system (harsher punishments for criminals)
Alternatives instead of going to jail (DOC)
I looked on the Department of Corrections and giving criminals rehabilitation is actually being considered severely, along with pairing up with iwi and community groups, interventions delivered by probation staff, education, jobs skills and working prisons, giving criminals real jobs on release and tackling alcohol and drug abuse. Working in these specific areas will help offenders address/think, talk about the reasons behind their offending and give them the skills, training and experience to make positive changes in their lives. By strengthening rehabilitation and re-integration opportunities for offenders we can reduce re-offending and improve public safety, while contributing to reducing crime  overall in New Zealand..
How much its costing (Reference - Costs)
I also reviewed an article on The Stuff which pointed out that, Prisoners will each cost the taxpayer more than $92,000 this year, 63 per cent more than they did in 2001. According to figures supplied to Parliament's law and order select committee by the Corrections Department, the cost per inmate is projected to climb to $253 a day - or $92,345 a year - in the 2007-08 year. In 2001, it was $155 a day, or $56,575 a year. The new cost is "higher than the cost of a room at many top hotels with breakfast thrown in", Mr Power said. Corrections said the increases had been driven by the cost of building prisons in Northland, Otago, Auckland Region Women's Prison and Spring Hill Prison in Waikato. The cost of building the four prisons ballooned from $400 million signed off in 2002, to $890 million - a blowout of $490 million. The number of inmates hit a record high of 8076 in May, forcing authorities to accommodate some prisoners in police stations and court cells. As well as the building of the new prisons - which will add more than 1600 new beds - a further 773 beds have been approved for construction at the existing Rimutaka, Tongariro/Rangipo, Wanganui and Christchurch prisons, the spokeswoman said.
Long term effects on local community and community development.(University Of Canterbury) (Pages 12- 37)
We also read a part of a pupils point of view and research from Canterbury university which points out that. Related to this issue is the fear expressed by residents of potential prison communities that property values will fall. It may be however that property values increase due to the increased demand for accommodation.

Some residents fear that the presence of a prison in their community will affect their general quality of life. The presence of a prison or a prison siting may cause disharmony between residents, also may increase urban growth, and bring about significant population changes. These consequences may be undesirable to residents who are often migrants from the 'city' who have made a 'lifestyle' choice to live in a 'rural' environment.

Justice system - FOR

The New Zealand Justice System forth

Three Key points:
  • Sentences should be more harsh if it has to do with violent crimes.
  • Families should feel like the judge did them justice and they should be able to feel closure.
  • How would you like it if people who have committed violent crimes were on your street and you knew what they were capable of would you feel safe or want them to have to be sentenced for longer.







  • Key Point 1: Longer sentences should be given for violent crimes.
  • Fact: 5 year old girl was raped by a 16 year old who was supoose to be her baby-sitter, not only was he under the substance of marijuana but this offence happened in 2015 but was only brought up now was only sentenced ½ years with rehabilitation.

  • Nia Glassie tortured,abused,by what we called family only sentenced 3-4 years.

  • Key Point 2: Justice system should be longer , so the victim & their families feel like they shouldn’t have to worry about an incident occurring again so they know justice was served.
  • Fact: If sentence were longer for violent crimes the communities wouldn’t worry as much for their safety.

  • Would you want to spend your life knowing that criminals who have done stupid things and you could be next or know that their being kept behind bars serving a sentence long enough for you to find your safety again.
