Introduction
APK/Introduction before the lesson
Today we are going to talk about culture. Culture
is all the tiny things that make up your day.
(Gesture to Slide 2 and Bristol board so they know
where examples are posted). Here are some
examples of culture. We are going to discuss
Canadian culture today so for a little inspiration
we are going to do watch a video by Canadian
astronaut Chris Hadfield (Slide 3) and then
complete a place mat brainstorming page. The
activity will have us coming up with some ideas by
ourselves and then when I give the single elect
someone to write some ideas in the middle circle
about what your whole group discussed. (After the
video switch to Slide 4)
! Can someone please explain a place mat
activity?
! When will we start discussing as a group?
Focus Question
Have you ever heard of the word culture or
multiculturalism? How about someone saying hockey,
fishing, or camping is part of our culture?
During/Learning Activities
After the place mat activity is completed ask each
group to share one idea/example they came up with.
Write the words Canadian Culture up on the board
and have them walk up to the board to add their ideas
underneath.
