Confessions of Faith
Wow! We finally met! Good times! Thanks for being done your homework. We discussed the terms from the handout and began watching "Pillars of Faith" a documentary that surveys the major world religions. This will serve as a springboard into our first unit which is 'World Religions'.
History 30
Yes, we keep going back to the curriculum. It's what I am paid to deliver people! But seriously, the whole 'worldview' thing is a helpful concept to consider, especially in the study of history. It helps explain peoples' actions and helps us learn how to form new, and hopefully, better ideas and assumptions as we move forward. Progress only happens with work.
Today students submitted the "Little History of Canada pp. 1-9 Questions Handout" then we got right into reading our "History of Parks Canada" handout. After this riveting reading we discussed (actually mostly I talked) the way in which Canadians view "the Land" and how differing worldview compete about how to best do this. I changed one part of the brochure assignment to reflect this discussion. The last bit of the class students confirmed their park of choice and had a few minutes to work on their brochures. We live in a beautiful country people! Tomorrow will be a 'Parks Canada Brochure' work period and it will be due next Wed.
