In which John Green teaches you about Iran's Revolutions. Yes, revolutions plural. What was the1979 Iranian Revolution about? It turns out, Iran has a pretty long history of unrest in order to put power in the hands of the people, and the most recent revolution in 1979 was, at least at first, not necessarily about creating an Islamic state. It certainly turned out to be about that, but it was initially just about people who wanted to get rid of an oppressive regime. Listen up as John teaches you about Iran's long history of revolution.
In which John Green teaches you the history of Islam, including the revelation of the Qu'ran to Muhammad, the five pillars of Islam, how the Islamic empire got its start, the Rightly Guided Caliphs, and more. Learn about hadiths, Abu Bakr, and whether the Umma has anything to do with Uma Thurman (spoiler alert: it doesn't). Also, learn a little about the split between Sunni and Shia Muslims, and how to tell if this year's Ramadan is going to be difficult for your Muslim friends. Let's try to keep the flame wars out of this reasoned discussion.
In this activity, students will learn to identify different opinions related to an issue as well as the things (information, values and beliefs) that influence those opinions. They will use an opinion spectrum to analyze the range of opinions in their classroom on environmental issues and understand how these spectrums can be valuable to engineering design.
Students will research the laws relating to tobacco in their own and other jurisdictions, debating the most effective approaches.

In which John Green teaches you about what westerners call the middle ages and the lives of the aristocracy...in Japan. The Heian period in Japan lasted from 794CE to 1185CE, and it was an interesting time in Japan. Rather than being known for a thriving economy, or particularly interesting politics, the most important things to come out of the Heian period were largely cultural. There was a flourishing of art and literature in the period, and a lot of that culture was created by women. The Tale of Genji by Murasaki Shikibu was the classic piece of literature of the day, and it gave a detailed look into the way the Aristocrats of the Heian period lived. While this doesn't give a lot of insight into the lives of daily people, it can be very valuable, and the idea of approaching history from a cultural perspective is a refreshing change from the usual military or political history that survives from so many eras.

“I was born in Seoul, South Korea. My mom and dad immigrated to Toronto when I was a just 3 months old. They dreamed of becoming entrepreneurs. In 1978 they opened one of the first businesses in Toronto’s Koreatown.
As a teenager, I wanted nothing to do with the family business. I didn't speak Korean; I wasn’t interested in my parents’ Korean culture. I just wanted to be like the other Canadian kids. My mom finally kicked me out of the house.
Five years ago, my dad got sick. I decided it was time to embrace my roots. I started managing the restaurant. I even learned to speak Korean.
I am a Korean-Canadian, proud of what my family has built.”

Psychologist Jonathan Haidt studies the five moral values that form the basis of our political choices, whether we're left, right or center. In this eye-opening talk, he pinpoints the moral values that liberals and conservatives tend to honor most. Jonathan Haidt studies how -- and why -- we evolved to be moral. By understanding more about our moral roots, his hope is that we can learn to be civil and open-minded. His new book is "The Righteous Mind: Why Good People are Divided by Politics and Religion." A quiz, thought provoking question, and links for further study are provided to create a lesson around the 19-minute video. Educators may use the platform to easily "Flip" or create their own lesson for use with their students of any age or level.

Journey 2050 allows schools around the world to experience agriculture like it has never been taught before. As students explore world food sustainability, they make inquiry-based decisions to see the ripple effect on social, economic and environmental factors locally and globally. Agricultural experts and real farm families from Kenya, India and Canada guide students through a virtual farm simulation, avatar career game and geography scavenger hunt.
Journey 2050 is an online farming simulation that teaches students about food sustainability across the globe. The program challenges students to consider how we will feed an ever-growing population that is projected to reach 10 billion by 2050. Using an inquiry-based approach, this gamified, virtual program encourages students to make decisions and adjust them as they see their impact on society, the environment, and the economy at a local and global scale. Singing up as an educator gives you access to the teacher guides and resources. You can choose how you would like to use this based on the number of hours you are willing to give.
'A Journey into Time Immemorial' is based on the story of Xá:ytem Longhouse in Mission BC in the Fraser Valley just east of Vancouver BC. Simon Fraser University worked closely with the staff at Xá:ytem to produce this award winning website. It is an artistic and cultural interpretation and is not meant to convey precisely accurate archaeological information. Contemporary archaeologists view First Nations as partners and value oral traditions as a source of information about the past that augments the scientific approach.
This is a 45 minute virtual field trip.
Learn about Canada’s ongoing human rights journey by engaging with Indigenous concepts of human rights and discovering how people have used and continue to use their voices and effective action to claim their rights. Our guides will take your students on an age‐appropriate and inspiring journey while helping them to see how these stories continue to be relevant and ongoing in Canada today. We’ll help your students walk away with a greater understanding of human rights and how the impacts of colonialism and racism continue to affect life in Canada.
Students will:
• Learn that human rights protections in Canada were fought for and won through the effective actions and voices of many groups and individuals.
• Experience exhibits and the inspiring Museum architecture as if they were at the Museum in person.
• Interact with a Museum guide and their classmates to deepen their understanding of equality and human rights.
• Engage in discussion, critical thinking and reflection on how colonialism and racism have ongoing impacts on the rights of people living in Canada today.
La Journée internationale pour l’élimination de la discrimination raciale, qui s’inspire de la Convention internationale sur l’élimination de toutes les formes de discrimination raciale, vise à reconnaître que des injustices et des préjudices basés sur la discrimination raciale sont causés tous les jours. Observée le 21 mars de chaque année, elle commémore le jour où, en 1960, des policiers de Sharpeville en Afrique du Sud ont ouvert le feu lors d’une manifestation pacifique contre les « lois sur les laissez-passer », dans le contexte de l’apartheid, et tué 69 personnes.
Trousse d’outils numériques
Nous avons créé une trousse d’outils numériques pour aider la population canadienne à promouvoir la Journée internationale pour l’élimination de la discrimination raciale.
