Design Process Statement Our group initially decided to work together because each of us was specifically interested in developing lessons for Grade 10 Canadian History – Academic. Some of us wanted to develop our understanding of the curriculum itself, while others wanted to focus on working with students of this age. After reviewing the curriculum of the course, we discussed how the course should be organized. For some aspects of the curriculum, we felt a traditional chronological organization would be beneficial. For other portions, it seemed as if thematic units would serve our students better. In the end, we decided to work with a hybrid of the two models, which contained both chronological units and thematic units.
Our group choose to focus our attention on the ‘Dirty 30s’ and social assistance programs because we felt that this unit was uniquely able to give students multiple opportunities to compare and contrast the history contained within the unit to modern events. Specifically, we found multiple references comparing and contrasting the current global recession to the Great Depression, as well as some comparisons between the Occupy movement and the social unrest exhibited in the 1930s, especially the On-to-Ottawa trek.
In designing the unit, we felt that it was important to utilize backward mapping principles. With this in mind, we began to develop the unit by first creating a summative assessment that would require students to contrast one aspect of modern life with life in the 1930s. We agreed upon the idea of roundtable discussions. We felt that these discussions would give students ample flexibility in the ways in which they were able to express their understanding of the unit. Since multiple roundtables will be required, we chose to assign a different topic to each roundtable, thus giving the students choice about their assessment.
Consistent with backward mapping techniques, we felt it would be beneficial to discuss the summative assessment at the beginning of the unit, both to help students organize their thinking throughout the unit and to provide students ample time to consider each roundtable topic as they progressed through the unit. Thus, we have created student resources which will be distributed at the beginning of the unit and will help structure the unit. Students will be asked to reflect on each lesson and record their thinking using these resources.
Once the summative assessment had been created, we felt that it was very important that each lesson relate directly to the summative assessment and support the enduring understanding on which the roundtables would focus. In addition, we attempted to create lessons which would regularly ask students to compare and contrast the events and society of the 1930s with the present day. To do that, we incorporated roleplaying, timelines, graphic organizers, think-pair-share activities and jigsaw activities. We believe the resulting lessons will help students to develop historical thinking and critical thinking skills.

Unit Overview

The Dirty Thirties and the Emergence of Canadian Social Assistance

The Great Depression also known as the Dirty Thirties was a difficult time period for Canadians. In this unit, students will examine and analyze the economic, social and political impact of the Dirty 30s on the Canadian society. Through roundtable discussions, research, concept mapping and role-playing, students will gain a deeper understanding of the lives of Canadians individually and collectively. The goal of this unit is to allow students to recognize and assess the similarities and differences that parallel the 1930s and our current societies.

In order to achieve this goal, students will learn about the creation of Social Assistance programs in Canada and analyze the effectiveness of it. Students will get the opportunity to compare/contrast the similarities and the differences of the programs implemented in the 1930s and in our current society.

In the 1930s technology and a growing demographic population changed communities in Canada. Students will research specific inventions and examine the impact of technological innovations on human life. By doing so, students will also be able to identify and describe the impact these technologies have on our current society. Lastly, students will focus on the demographic population of the 1930s and analyze the effect of Urbanization on the Canadian Society.

Lesson Summaries Title | Causes of Economic Troubles | Time | 2 days | Link to Enduring Understandings/Expectations | Compare/Contrast economic and social development in the 1930s & 21st centuryEmergent political/social movements in the 1930s: reasons they emerged | Activity Overview | -First, the class will brainstorm and discuss their previous knowledge of the Dirty 30s. The students will be asked to consider what problems of the Dirty 30s are still faced by Canadians today. The teacher will explain that students will be studying the Dirty 30s and comparing events of that decade to recent events. The teacher will then describe the major summative assessment for the unit (roundtables) and the class will formulate success criteria together. The teacher will distribute the assessment rubric and graphic organizers which the students will use to organize and reflect on their learning for the unit.-Next, students will watch a ten minute video which discusses similarities between the economic difficulties of the 1930s and of today. Students will then read an article which highlights the differences between the two periods. As they watch the video and read the article, they will complete a chart identifying causes of economic difficulties in the 1930s and today. The class will then brainstorm about additional causes not mentioned in the video or article. Then the class will divide into groups. Each group will conduct further research into one of the causes identified and determine if it was a cause of the Great Depression, the current Global recession, or both. Finally, new groups will be formed which will consist of one member of each of the original groups. Students will share the results of their research with their new group members. | Resources | http://www.pbs.org/newshour/extra/video/blog/2008/09/current_financial_crisis_echoe.htmlhttp://www.slate.com/articles/business/moneybox/2008/11/dont_get_depressed_its_not_1929.html | Assessment Options | Students will complete a Venn diagram illustrating the causes of the Great Depression, the Global Recession, and those causes shared by both, if any.In their journal, students will write one question about the causes of economic crises which they are now able to answer, and one question about which they are still unsure. | Accommodations | Students with reading difficulties will be given a summary of the article. Students may also be given a transcript of the video when appropriate. |

Title | Population Changes & Immigration Deportation in the Dirty Thirties | Time | 2 days | Link to Enduring Understandings/Expectations | Students will understand the contributions of various groups and individuals to Canadian culture and society.Evolution of Canadian Identity | Activity Overview | Students will examine Immigration Statistics from the Year 1861 to 1961. In doing so, students will recognize the significant drop in immigration during the Great Depression period. The class will examine these numbers and discuss the various reasons for low immigration numbers. Students will then get the opportunity to examine a website that documents the Canadian Immigration Experience, “Moving HERE, STAYING HERE. The Canadian Immigrant Experience”. For this activity, students will examine primary documents from the four main sections of the “Depression Era” topic.Sections: Radical Policies Shipped Out No Refuge Quebec’s Last Frontier Students will be split into four groups. Within that group there will be 4 different expert members. One person will be responsible for the Radical Policies section, the second will look at Shipped Out, third will examine No Refuge and the last expert is responsible for reading Quebec’s Last Frontier. The students will record main points from the primary sources and website. They must understand the material and take good notes. The next day, the expert members will return to their original group and compile their notes together to understand the Canadian immigration experience during the 1930s. Students will be responsible for ensuring they are experts in their specific sections. Part 2 of this activity will involve students participating in a debate. Students will be divided into a group “for” the Immigration Act and a group “against” the Immigration Act/ | Resources | Table showing a condensed version of immigration statistics.

The class will review the extent of unemployment and homelessness in Canada in the 1930s. Next, students will watch excerpts from On to Ottawa (Directed by Sara Diamond, Produced by The On to Ottawa Historical Society, and the Women's Labour History Project) which discuss the conditions of the relief camps, and the causes and consequences of the On-to-Ottawa trek. While they watch, they will make notes about what the relief camp workers’ grievances were and how they went about trying to address the grievances. Students will then brainstorm about other ways people addressed grievances with the government in the 1930s and in modern times. Finally, students will be assigned to research the views of one social or political movement from the 1930s (Labour movement, CCF, Union Nationale, Conservative Party, Liberal Party of Canada) and write a letter to the editor explaining the grievances, views, and goals of their movement or party. | Resources | On to Ottawa (Directed by Sara Diamond Produced by The On to Ottawa Historical Society, and the Women's Labour History Project).

Each student will then choose one social assistance program to investigate. Students must determine the following: 1. When was it established and why? 2. Who did/does it help? 3. Does it benefit Canada as a whole or just the people who receive the benefits? 4. How has the program changed since it began? 5. How many people does it benefit today and how much does it cost to run?Each student will create a timeline showing the formation of the program, any major changes to the program, and its current operating status. After students have created their timelines, they will be posted in the classroom and students will conduct a gallery walk. For each timeline displaced student will post a comment stating one of the following: 1. Why they think the program was initially a good/bad idea at the time it was created. 2. Why they think the program is still necessary or no longer necessary.OR 3. What changes need to be made to improve the program, if any? | Resources | Private and government websites describing various assistance programs and their history, including:http://www.canadabenefits.gc.ca/f.1.2ch.4m.2@.jsp?lang=enghttp://www.mapleleafweb.com | Assessment Options | Observations of timelines and comments. | Accommodations | Students with exceptionalities may be paired. |

Each roundtable will discuss one aspect of life during the Dirty 30s with life in Canada today. The titles will of each roundtable will be as follow: * Then and Now: Social Assistance Programs * Then and Now: The Canadian Identity * Then and Now: Technology * Then and Now: Political Parties and Political Thought * Then and Now: The Economy * Then and Now: Social Protests and Civil DisobedienceStudents will be assigned a roundtable based on their preferences at the beginning of the unit. For their assigned roundtable, they will be required to prepare a two to three minute speech to be given at the beginning of the round table discussion. A written copy of the speech will be submitted to the teacher before the roundtable is held. For each roundtable for which they will not be a member, students must prepare two questions which could be asked of the panel. These questions will be submitted to the teacher before the roundtables are held, so that they can be incorporated into the discussion. Then, each roundtable will be conducted for approximately 30 minutes. The instructor will draw the topics from a hat to determine the order of the roundtables. The teacher/moderator will ask panel members questions written by their peers as appropriate. Additional questions may be asked as appropriate. See Appendix A for sample questions. | Resources | * Appendix A * Videos demonstrating roundtable formats:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FdBCuoHLARk&feature=relatedhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k-ymB-d-kII | Accommodations | Students with exceptionalities may be allowed the following accommodations: * Use of notes during roundtable * List of questions to be addressed during the roundtable * Written responses to a roundtable discussion classes rather than oral participation |

In this unit we are going to be looking at the political, economic and daily life of Canadians in the 1930s. We will also cover the technological and scientific advancements of the 1930s and how they affected the life of Canadians. Your final assignment for this unit will be to prepare a short 2-3 minute speech on your chosen topic and then participate in a roundtable discussion on that topic. The topics for the roundtable discussion are:

* Then and Now: Social Assistance Programs

* Then and Now: The Canadian Identity

* Then and Now: Technology

* Then and Now: Political Parties and Political Thought

* Then and Now: The Economy

* Then and Now: Social Protests and Civil Disobedience

You will also be required to prepare two questions for the other roundtable topics that you are not participating in. Please refer to the rubric for further help in understanding what is required for the assignment.

Reducing Ontario's Co2 Emissions by 50%

...Development Goals, hereafter referred to as the MDG, was signed by all 193 members of the United Nations. The MDG focuses on a wide range of human problems; from poverty and health to environmental damage and the non-sustainability of the current resource usage (Nations, 2010). This was so important because it was the first time that so many nations united together to attempt to solve the world’s biggest problems. Although a lot of the set targets were very ambitious, they were certainly within the realm of reality with proper funding and planning. The following report proposes a plan to carry out a sub-section of one of the goals in one region of the world. Although it would be a very small scale when considering all the goals of the MDG and all the regions of the world, it would provide a morale booster that shows that these goals can actually be achieved with sufficient funding and planning. The plan is made by members of the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, which will also provide all of the funding. The selected MDG sub-target for this project is goal 7A; to “Integrate the principles of sustainable development into country policies and programmes and reverse the loss of environmental resources”...

Brief History of Indian Monetary System

...Introduction The international monetary system is the structure of financial payments, settlements, practices, institutions and relations that govern international trade and investment around the world. To understand the international monetary system, we can start by looking at how a domestic monetary system is structured. The Canadian financial system, for instance, is composed of a) a currency; b) a central bank which issues that currency; c) financial deposit-taking and lending institutions such as commercial banks and d) the Canadian Payments Association. The currency used in Canada is the Canadian dollar. It is the means of payment, store of value and unit of account for all transactions conducted within Canada. It is the currency in which all assets and liabilities are measured. As such, exchange rates are not an issue in our domestic transactions. The country’s central bank, is the Bank of Canada. Its role is to issue the currency of the land, the Canadian dollar, to manage the supply of money to ensure that there is neither too much of it that could cause inflation, nor too little that could cause recession and to oversee the financial system, acting as a lender of last resort when the need arises. Commercial banks and other non-bank financial institutions are the main players in the financial system. They engage in the process of financial intermediation, which is the taking of deposits from the private public that has a surplus of money and making loans to the public that...

Marketing - Chanel, Nike, Hot Topic

...1. Within the United States, especially in Southern California, an individual's appearance is crucial because it is used to make a first impression. A person is judged by what they wear and how they look. For example, it is probable that many people would perceive a person wearing ratty clothes as uneducated and irresponsible while a person looking pristine in a designer ensemble is assumed to be intelligent and successful. In every city, there are multiple fashion brands with different styles and ranges of apparel and accessories. Every season, new styles and designs are created which influence society. It appears as if more types of clothing exist than the actual number of people. With so many different alternatives of fashion, the fashion industry is trying to please too many customers with variety. There are currently various styles to choose from, and the clothes people wear categorize or label them long before they realize it. The three fashion brands that will be analyzed extensively are Chanel, Nike, and Hot Topic. These brands have apparel but are completely different in their target audience. Chanel is a prestigious high-fashion brand; Nike is a popular athletic line; Hot Topic is musically and artistically edgier with a smaller target audience between the three. With these apparel brands, a person wearing each would be labeled or even stereotyped. One wearing a Chanel’s 2012 Spring/Summer ready-to-wear designer outfit with a white jacket, lambskin dress with pearls...

...cotton they picked. The previous year, according to him, it was $1.50 per hundred. He'd already heard rumors that a farmer over in Lake City was offering $1.60. This played heavily on his mind as we rode to town. He never talked when he drove, and this was because, according to my mother, not much of a driver herself, he was afraid of motorized vehicles. His truck was a 1939 Ford, and with the exception of our old John Deere tractor, it was our sole means of transportation. This was no particular problem except when we drove to church and my mother and grandmother were forced to sit snugly together up front in their Sunday best while my father and I rode in the back, engulfed in dust. Modern sedans were scarce in rural Arkansas. Pappy drove thirty-seven miles per hour.
