Socials 10:
Today we started our new unit on Canadian Identity. We did a major brainstorm on Canadian identity and what it means to be Canadian in small groups creating mind maps. From here we did some comparing of each others mind maps pulling out similarities and great ideas and then each student created their own mind map on Canadian identity pulling from the ideas around the room. We then compared these to our identity maps from earlier in the year. We came to some conclusions around Canadian identity and what influences identity including our vast geography. The idea that people in different parts of the country identify with different things, bringing our discussion to regionalism. We also discussed Canadian identity also being not American and how this affects us both historically and now.
Tuesday we will be working on our role play on government.

Students got field trip forms for our planned field trip to Rogers Pass. If you were away please come and pick one up.
We went over our Friday 5's. From here we reviewed some glacial depositional features: kames, eskers and drumlins. We discussed moulins and watched these two videos:
