Social Studies 7
Today we finished analyzing our first primary source. Students were able to gain insights about the relationship between the First Nations and Samuel Hearne, an European explorer, by looking for evidence in a page from Samuel Hearne's journal regarding his journey from "Prince of Wales's Fort in Hudson's Bay to The Northern Ocean" (London, 1795). Students practiced making inferences from the evidence they found in the entry from November, 1769.

We continued to work through the seven elements of the worldview icon. Students presented several examples for each element to establish what the Canadian (Western) worldview is. The purpose of this activity was twofold. Firstly, students further developed their understanding of what a worldview is. Secondly, students began to define the current Western worldview, which we will be referring to throughout the year.
Homeroom
Students were given a homework block at the end of the day. Unfortunately, I was unable to update the homework on the blog before I left school today, so students will have to rely on their own agendas (which we continue to do daily at the beginning of homeroom block). However, for social, students have current events due on Wednesday.
Have a great weekend!
