Protest Project.

DavidLeave a comment

All week we are putting together  a protest assignment.  You have a right to make your voice heard through peaceful assembly and protest.  All groups will create an educational pamphlet and create a second individualized part of your protest (Letter to MP, CBC/Radio interview, protest poster, TV commercial, sing/chant, Website).

Here is the handout and rubric.  Please hand one in (everyone got one on October 24th) with your project so I can save paper and photocopying.

This project is due Monday November 4th

Canadian Government Flow Chart

DavidLeave a comment

The Flow Chart is now due!  Get it in before Thursday is done so i can mark them on-time.  We will be looking at how can citizens play a roll in government decisions (besides running and participating in an election and becoming a politician) tomorrow.  Parent teacher interviews  also tomorrow… Only two spots left on my time table if you / your guardians want to chat

Today we looked at how a bill becomes a law.  Introduced, three readings, a special comittee is formed and its passed to the senate for the same process.  Finally Royal Assent is given and the bill becomes a Statute or an Act.

You worked on Questions 14, 15, 16.

Looking at Provincial and Federal differences.  And What Municipal Governments do.

Flow Chart is due Wednesday (its mostly outlining the Branches of Government and the Constitution).

Senate

DavidLeave a comment

Should we reform the senate was today’s in class discussion.  A short video and reading three opinions in the text book (page 231 i believe).

Flow Chart assignment is main homework.

Three terms you will need to look up (they are not in the textbook)

  1. Supremacy of Government
  2. Not withstanding clause
  3. Reasonable Limits

The Judicial Branch information is in chapter 11.  We have only been working with chapter 9 so far.  So you’ll need to jump ahead (use the chapter index at the front of the book to help find information)

We have been studying the branches of government3-Branches-of-Government (this lecture was before the All Candidates meeting) for the last few days as well as how Canada’s government  works.  Today we did a lecture on Canada’s Charter of rights8-Charter-of-Rights-and-Freedoms and Freedoms, and the BNA acts division of powersFederal-Provincial-and-Municipal-Responsibilities-AB

You will be making a  flow chart of the three branches and the constitution.  Two examples are posted on my board to help guide you (remember not to copy).

Today we wrote questions after researching political parties stances on different hot topics.  You wrote FOUR questions today.  Tomorrow we will see if the candidates answer the questions we are asking!  If you haven’t gotten permission from your block 4 teacher to see the debate then you will be attending normal Social Studies 10 class time.  Otherwise, see you at the theater!

We continued to work on the branches of government.  The one vocab word not in the textbook was “Order-In-Council” which is a law proposed by the Governor General.  Your Thursday homework on looking up one of the local politicians is still outstanding (as i never checked in with you).
