ONLINE CLASSROOM MARCH 23 to APRIL 05
To Students -- Hi everyone, I hope this message finds you healthy and that you enjoyed your break as best as possible during uncertain and unprecedented times. I found outside time really grounding and helpful. The consistent message from the TDSB since schools closed has been that learning and course delivery will continue as best as possible, and for my 12s, that you will graduate.
Ultimately, my main message is that I am here to support you in finishing your year. Remember to practice all of the recommended protocols set out by public health in order to move through this pandemic as quickly as possible. If we all do our part, we will return back to our full lives much quicker. Remember to support each other and to keep your physical and mental health as your top priority.
To that end, over the next 2 days I will be building the online classroom for all of my courses right here on the homepage (BELOW). I will also establish daily "office hours" when students can reach me for direct support via mark.bauer@tdsb.on.ca.
Remember, the protocol for teacher-student communication is to be conducted through our @student.tdsb.on.ca & @tdsb.on.ca email addresses. Please follow this protocol.
DAILY OFFICE HOURS
10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. Monday to Friday.

Insert the Kitkatla fact pattern (which includes actions for all parties involved in the dispute) into the title timeline template. For example, in the various documents provided on the project page, can you roughly pinpoint the date of first contact (i.e., year) between Kitkatla (who are part of the larger Tsimshian Nation) and Europeans? What evidence is there in the various documents of Kitkatla's existing rights and title being asserted or extinguished? In the various documents is there evidence of the duty to consult/accommodate being met by the Provincial and/or Federal Crown? Is there evidence of exclusive use and occupation of the land in question pre-contact (as set out in the Delgamuukw test for proving title)? Etc. KEEP IN MIND THIS TIMELINE IS A FIRST DRAFT that you will add to in the following weeks. It will also be crucial in helping you to write your legal opinion on the dispute.
