What this unit is all about
What this unit is all about
- This section is looking into the world during the 1900's
- 100 years is a long time and comparatively, the lifestyle was VERY different than what we live now
- We want to investigate the economic opportunities, Industrial Revolution, workers and labour laws as well as women's rights across Canada during this time period, taking information out of images and text.
- Below are some tips for investigating historical information
Finding information in Historical Images
Finding information in Historical Images
- Ask these questions when you are looking through old images
1. What is the first thing I see?
2. What is the main idea of this picture?
3. What are some details i see? Details I don't see?
4. What does this image say about the time period?
5. Who took this photo and why?
6. What do you think the people in the image are thinking?
7. What do you think happened after the image was taken?
- These probing questions can get the brain juices flowing into what that historical moment may mean
Empowerment
Empowerment
In my opinion, empowerment means the power that you are given to be able to make a change or do something that will have an impact.
What does empowerment mean to you?
- Create your own definition before starting out this unit and then after you finish the unit, rewrite the definition to see if anything has changed in your mind.
- This is one way to watch your progress throughout the unit!
