Explorations in Socials Studies 11

I used Critical Thinking to gather information on Harry Jerome by looking at specific sites on the web, and seeing if information matched other sites (since if it didn’t match or was not similar, it could be false information.) So, after I gathered the information I lied it out in a way that would make sense, then added it to the poster along with images of Harry Jerome. Then per the assignment’s requirements I put the QR code to the main website I used for this project.

For curricular competencies, I chose Continuity and Change as an area of strength I have with this, is the ideas of coming up with a continuity or change is a relatively simple concept if you have enough knowledge of the topic. Like with Harry Jerome he was racially discriminated for leaving a sprinting race due to a leg injury, but instead of the news being taken to the public faster than it did, many people thought he had “Chickened out.” But now he helped the development of People of Colour in sports throughout Canada. A place for improvement for me is my ability to further my knowledge on these topics to come up with more changes, as it is much easier to come up with a continuity over a change since sometimes they are so small that some people including myself might see them as not even being a change.
