The goal of this unit is for grade nine students to explore some of the civilizations and societies that have shaped society today. Students will have a balance of independent and collaborative formats to demonstrate their learning. The unit will be broken up into the following periods of history. There will be a center in the room for each time period, and students must complete all of the work for one civilization before they are permitted to move to the next. Each student will have a folder in which to file their completed assignments. There is a checklist on the front of each folder that students must use to keep track of what assignments have been completed and handed in.

All year long we study the grade 7 social studies outcomes and explore the relationships between Canada and other Pacific Rim countries. We also spend a significant amount of time on proper paragraph and essay structure in expository writing. There is no greater motivation for the kids than this folk fest project we complete at the end of the year. They work collaboratively with a partner to research, ask questions, and explore the culture of a Pacific Rim country they choose. They must complete the outline, cite their sources, and hand in an essay portion as a partnership. Next, the real fun begins. Exploring the extras is a favourite time because it involves pictures, videos, artifacts, and food! Amazingly, my students have had the privilege of being the 1:1 classroom this year and will be able to incorporate technology in their presentations. We learned how to use several programs like Prezi, Zondle, and One True Media that they can use to add creativity and excitement to their folk fest display. The culmination of their hard work is a full morning where parents and classes alike can walk through and learn from the students about Pacific Rim countries. Once they have finished teaching others, all of the delicious food artifacts are shared in a potluck where we can debrief the morning.

We’ve talked about deviance more broadly, but today we’re focusing on crime, specifically in the US. We’ll start with legal definitions of crime and use FBI data to get an idea of the amount and kinds of crime committed in the US. We’ll also use that date to paint a demographic picture of who gets arrested, and explain why that’s not necessarily a full look of who commits crime. We’ll also discuss society’s response to crime in the criminal justice system, and how that response has resulted in mass incarceration.
