Within our unit, the students will have many opportunities to consider issues that revolve around social justice, to be better informed and become contributing citizens of the world. By looking at the conflicts between the First Nations and the Europeans, students will better understand how to think critically of the various perspectives within the conflicts. Students will also be able to apply these perspectives to issues and conflicts within their own lives such as environmental issues like climate change, or social issues such as bullying. This will help students develop their sense of identity to better understand their role in problem solving, and develop the skills they need to communicate their ideas and decisions about significant developments, events, and issues.
There are various tools and resources available to facilitate our learning and make it more authentic!
This resource created by ETFO, provides great lesson ideas, for integrating social justice into the curriculum. For example, for grade 5, it suggests writing pen-pal letters to First Nations, Metis, or Inuit students to learn more about their lives, where they live, and what they do for fun.
