Social 10-1

We were able to do an activity based around the story "The Rabbits". This book addresses some of the themes that we'll be looking at Unit 2, such as cultural contact, assimilation, imperialism, differing world views, and residential schools. We spent a fair bit of time looking at the symbolism in the book and some of the themes that the book introduces. Your Chapter 6 Key Terms and Questions are due on Friday. You are writing the Unit 1 WRA II position paper tomorrow in the Blenheim Room.
