Geog 12 & SS10. Oct. 14 & 16

 Socials 10:

On Tuesday we went over the Friday 5 and then headed to the library to work on our Historical Wrongs project.

Thursday in the first half we talked about the project quickly and some reminders from the blog post of what to ensure you have as part of the project.  From here we worked on the following definitions (define and give an example):

• Diversity

• Regional identity

• Regionalism

• Federalism

• Cultural Diversity

• Assimilation

Then we worked on the jigsaw activity on the different regions. First in our expert groups then in our groups and filled out the placematt/four quadrants sheet. If you were away, fill out your own sheet using pages: 66-75 in your text. Each quadrant should include:

•     List some characteristics of your region
•     List major issues/factors that have increased or decreased alienation over the years

Expert Group discussion:

• of issues,
• decide which issues are still prevalent today
• which issue has the greatest impact on alienation either way.

Teach your original group members about the issues of regionalism from your regions perspective.

Answer the essential questions as a group:

•     Will diversity break up the country or bind it together
•     Should Canadians stay in a federation that isn’t perfect?
•     Why do Canadians continue to try to get along?
• Why might it be important to understand the issues facing other regions?

After this group work was complete we started chapter 3 in the text: Constitution debates. Students defined constitution and patriate/patriation. We talked about confederation and the BNA Act (review from last week). We also did some notes see slide below and watched two videos linked below.

We then did some connections models presentations.

In the second half we went back to our original data collection site on the Illecillewaet River and collected a second set of data as a comparison.
