Socials 9: week of June 1st

This week in Socials we started World War I.  We started at looking at the various causes of WWI and also how the world aligned itself at this time.  How did Canada become to be involved in WWI, were they an independent entity or did they join as a colony of Britain.  We looked at how the War impacted Canada at home and how Canadians reacted to the war and enlistment.  In doing so we explored some primary sources to help our understanding.  We also read p. 21-27 and completed some questions in Counterpoints (our current textbook) p. 24 #1&2 plus analyzed the cartoon on page 23.  We started a project on WWI (see blog post) and also stared watching the movie 1917 (we are about an hour into it).  The movie includes a movie sheet that we are working on.
