Thursday, Socials 10-4

Today in Socials 10-4 we talked about Push and Pull factors.  To make it relative, we discussed the reasons why someone would choose to move to the Sunshine Coast.  We found there were several aspects that pulled people to move here as well as others that pushed them to leave.  The students felt that the Coast did not offer a lot of opportunity for youth which we decided was a push factor.

We then looked at push-pull factors for Vancouver and Canada.  Finally we discussed what were the attractions (pull factors) for those people living in the early 1800 to come to Canada and what may have been the push factors. We watched a power point on the first wave of Canadian immigration and took notes. We also did a short worksheet in groups in order to familiarize ourselves with Upper and Lower Canada during the early 19th century. We  had a chance to work on their sketchnotes.

Sketchnotes are due  Tuesday, Nov 4
