Unit 1 PROJECT and Big Idea Reflection

5. ASSIGNMENT 1.8: Communicating Change

ESSENTIAL QUESTION:  Why is reconciliation important?

Task:

You will be creating your project for our grandparents' or for some great-grandparents' generation.  (Those born roughly in 1960 or earlier).  This generation, when they were your age, may not have been privileged to have had open dialogue on issues such as this.  In many cases, this situation was perfectly acceptable; it wasn't considered an issue at all. 

So, how would we communicate the topic of Aboriginal Reconciliation in Canada through our modern lense, in a way that previous generations would understand?  A few points to consider as you prepare your expository writing:

• Maintain a respectful approach so that you are not scolding this generation, but helping them to see our new understanding.
• Use formal vocabulary and structure so that your communication is mature and thoughtful.
