3.Lesson: Post War Canada

Post-WWII Canadian society was one of prosperity as veterans returned home to a hero's welcome, the economy was in full gear and jobs were plentiful. Many soldiers returned with war brides. Immigrants from war-torn Europe decided to make Canada home. The future looked bright and parents decided to have numerous children. Crowded cities saw suburbs pop up overnight. New and exciting products such as the television were available. The automobile was a growing fad and the tourism industry took off.  Life was great!! Boomers enjoyed their teenage years and then used their demographic power to push for political and social changes in the 60's and 70's. The middle-aged boomers settled down in the 80's and 90's and now the boomers are ageing and looking forward to their retirement years.

3. Introduction to the Post War World

Stalinism

the communistic theories and practices developed by Joseph Stalin from Marxism and Leninism, especially his development of the cult of the individual with himself at its center, his advocacy of national revolution, and his extensive use of secret police and slave-labor camps to reduce opposition.


a) On March 5, 1946, at Westminster College in Fulton, Missouri, Winston Churchill delivered one of his most famous speeches. Though he was not the first to use the phrase “iron curtain”, this speech brought the phrase into common usage and is thought by some to mark the beginning of the Cold War.

[…] an iron curtain has descended across the continent.

2. Defining inference:   a conclusion reached on the basis of evidence and reasoning.

synonyms:

deduction, conclusion, reasoning, conjecture, speculation, guess, presumption, assumption, supposition, reckoning, extrapolation

Example 1

You’re about to enter a classroom. It’s 8:57, and there is lots of chatter coming from inside the room.

–> You infer that there’s a 9:00 class that hasn’t started yet.

In this example, we have some basic evidence (the time and the noise), and we can infer that class hasn’t started yet. We can’t be sure that the inference is correct, but it’s reasonable to reach this conclusion anyway.

3. Mind Maps:
A Mind Map is a highly effective way of getting information in and out of your brain - it is a creative and logical means of note-taking and note-making that literally "maps out" your ideas.
All Mind Maps have some things in common. They have a natural organizational structure that radiates from the center and use lines, symbols, words, color and images according to simple, brain-friendly concepts. Mind mapping converts a long list of monotonous information into a colorful, memorable and highly organized diagram that works in line with your brain's natural way of doing things.

1. 11 X 17 paper
2. Can be drawn images or photocopies (for those non-drawers)
3. There must be a central image with minimum five topics radiating out from the central image: Use those from the jigsaw: ( be sure to remember the Gorilla and Emily Stowe are not Topics but subtopics: Gorilla's with travel and Emily Stowe with Medicine)
4. Use arrows to radiate out from central image to the topics.  Use the pictures and a few words like a trigger to your memory about why these things were significant to the Victorian Era.
5. Look at the photo: to see what you should all be thinking about and use the examples to help.  I do not have an example of one that uses photocopied pictures. You will not lose marks for photocopied pictures!
6. Be sure to use different fonts in your titles and subheadings.
7. Rubric Link: Read it through 

Examples:

1. Review

2. Today, in socials we began by talking about the Victorian Era (1837-1901). Queen Victoria greatly influenced this period and that her influence extended outside of Britain to Canada and the United States.

We then looked at some photos from the Victorian Era and I explained how the Victorians were very sure of themselves and put high value on personal modesty and on gravity. The Queen was a model of her era and that the British saw themselves as the center of the known world.
Victorians believed that they should strive to find the golden mean or golden middle, which is the desirable middle between two extremes, one of excess and the other of deficiency. 

We then watched a  film called the Crystal palace (link here). The palace was built to contain an exhibition similar to a modern day EXPO. The exhibition demonstrated the ingenuity and achievement of the British Empire. The film also discussed how imperialism brought great riches to Britain, as well as, increased its power. We will watch the second half of the clip on Monday.

1. Silent Reading

2. Defining inference:   a conclusion reached on the basis of evidence and reasoning.

synonyms:

deduction, conclusion, reasoning, conjecture, speculation, guess, presumption, assumption, supposition, reckoning, extrapolation

Example 1

You’re about to enter a classroom. It’s 8:57, and there is lots of chatter coming from inside the room.

–> You infer that there’s a 9:00 class that hasn’t started yet.

In this example, we have some basic evidence (the time and the noise), and we can infer that class hasn’t started yet. We can’t be sure that the inference is correct, but it’s reasonable to reach this conclusion anyway.

1. He/she knows every detail of the story.

The omniscient narrator knows everything – even what the characters are thinking and feeling. As such, the readers have more information about what’s going on in the story than the protagonists do themselves.

2. He/she explain instead of suggest.

The omniscient narrator interprets what is happening, makes judgments, and thoroughly analyzes the characters’ actions and behaviors. As a result, not much is left to the readers’ imagination.

3. He/she is reliable.

As the omniscient narrator has access to every detail of the story, his testimony is much more plausible than that of, say, a witness character. This element of reliability can be a good choice for novels set in a fantasy world.

4. He/she can represent the author’s voice.

The omniscient narrator tells the story from the outside. Therefore, he can sometimes be identified with the author, particularly if he makes value judgments or subjective remarks.

5. He/she can jump in time and space.

This type of narrator can move instantly from scene to scene and from setting to setting. He can go back and forth in time and omit unnecessary events.

6. He/she has control over the characters.

The omniscient narrator can control what every character thinks or feels, but this all-knowing capacity prevents the readers from looking at the facts through the hero’s eyes. That is better achieved when the protagonist himself (or herself) narrates the story. I’ll explain this in more detail later on.

4. Empathy!

1. Review:  Victorian Era. ... Politics were important to the Victorians; they believed in the perfection of their evolved representative government, and in exporting it throughout the British Empire. This age saw the birth and spread of political movements, most notably socialism, liberalism and organised feminism.

The Industrial Revolution rapidly gained pace during Victoria's reign because of the power of steam. Victorian engineers developed bigger, faster and more powerful machines that could run whole factories. This led to a massive increase in the number of factories (particularly in textile factories or mills).

Lets look at an invention timeline:  Victorian Timeline 

2. Library For our  Group Presentations

3. Mind Maps:
A Mind Map is a highly effective way of getting information in and out of your brain - it is a creative and logical means of note-taking and note-making that literally "maps out" your ideas.
All Mind Maps have some things in common. They have a natural organizational structure that radiates from the center and use lines, symbols, words, color and images according to simple, brain-friendly concepts. Mind mapping converts a long list of monotonous information into a colorful, memorable and highly organized diagram that works in line with your brain's natural way of doing things.

1. 11 X 17 paper
2. Can be drawn images or photocopies (for those non-drawers)
3. There must be a central image with minimum five topics radiating out from the central image: Use those from the jigsaw: ( be sure to remember the Gorilla and Emily Stowe are not Topics but subtopics: Gorilla's with travel and Emily Stowe with Medicine)
4. Use arrows to radiate out from central image to the topics.  Use the pictures and a few words like a trigger to your memory about why these things were significant to the Victorian Era. 
5. Look at the photo: to see what you should all be thinking about and use the examples to help.  I do not have an example of one that uses photocopied pictures. You will not lose marks for photocopied pictures!
6. Be sure to use different fonts in your titles and subheadings.
7. Rubric Link: Read it through
