They then began an analysis of The Anishinabe Creation Story.  This is a primary source students are looking at to establish an understanding of the values and beliefs that are revealed in the story of their creation.

We then looked at two articles from contemporary times regarding our judicial system.  We completed a discussion of why there were such differences in the results of the judicial system and the reporting of the cases in the media.  We tied this back to how worldview plays a part in both these areas.

We then looked at the challenges to the Feudal system in the medieval ages.  We looked at the hierarchy and the division of wealth.  We began speaking about The Hundred Years War and the peasant revolts.
