Today you're going to create a presentation on one of the following Canadian human rights issues listed below. - Acadian Expulsion
- Underground Railroad
- Chinese Head Tax
- 1907 Anti-Japanese Riot
- Women's Suffrage
- Japanese Internment
- Padlock Law
You'll need to research one of these issues and create a way to present the information to the rest of the class. As you research your topic, you should try to answer several questions. - What is the main event all about?
- What caused the event to happen?
- Who are major characters (or organizations)?
- How were people treated or mistreated?
- Did those who were treated badly contribute to their situation?
- Did the situation violate human laws, moral laws (God's laws) or both?
- Were there heros in the incident, people who did the right thing? Were they flawed heros?
You could present to the class by - Creating a board game
- Filming a video
- Writing singing, and recording/performing a two minute song (only do this if you have some actual musical ability).
- Creating a photo essay that tells the story.
This can be done in small groups, appropriate to the project. For example, a board game might need two people, a song might need one, but a well thought out video might need four. There are other possible formats, but you should clear them with the teacher before you start EvaluationPresentation
