OVERALL AIM:
The aim of Social Studies 11 is to develop thoughtful, responsible, active citizens who
are able to acquire the requisite information to consider multiple perspectives and to
make reasoned judgments. This is intended to prepare students for their roles as
Canadian citizens and members of the international community.
FOCUS:
These skills will be developed on an ongoing basis as we explore the content of Social
Studies 11:
In order to achieve the most from this class you are expected to be actively involved
in class and take responsibility of yourself as a person and as a learner.
Some of the key behaviours and attributes of active learners are to:
1. Arrive each day on time, ready to work individually and with others in group
discussions.
2. Approach topics with an open mind and accept that others may not view the
world as you do
3. Treat others with respect when working together or in group discussions.
4. Keep cell phones away when asked to do so.
5. Ask questions for clarification or to move discussion forward
6. Complete assigned work on time
Ultimately you are expected to contribute to a dynamic culture.
