Social 10-2 Key Terms



Social 10 Key Terms Children’s Storybook Activity

GROUP NAMES:

Sometimes teaching others can be the best way to learn a new idea or concept. In this assignment you will work with a team to create a children’s book. Your book will need to explain important key terms in a way that young children will understand.

STEP ONE – choosing a project

Choose either book one or book two

Book One

Anglophone

Collective Identity

CRTC

Cultural Diversity

Francophone

Homogenization

Hybridization

Individual Identity

Linguistic Identity

Media Convergence

Multiculturalism

Tradition

Universalization of Pop Culture

Book Two

Accommodation

Acculturation

Affirmation

Assimilation

Cultural Revitalization

Homogenization

Integration

Marginalization

Megacity

Metropolis

Migration

Multiculturalism

Urbanization

STEP TWO – brainstorming ideas

Make sure you understand what each of those key terms means. In your group, discuss how you would explain that idea to a child? Brainstorm any ideas that come up; right now you are not trying to find the perfect idea, you are just getting ideas out there so that you can create the best explanation. In your brainstorming, try to think of examples or images that can also help to describe the words you have been given.

STEP THREE – creating and editing

Write down your new definition for each word, or the story you would tell to explain these ideas. You may want to assign a person to do the creative writing, and another person to do the illustrations. In this step the writing will need to be edited and refined. Share your writing and illustrations with people in your group, and with people in other groups so that you can make sure the ideas you are trying to express are clear.

*you do not have to give each of the definitions in the order they have been listed (alphabetically). In fact, it may be more effective to group complimentary terms together.

STEP FOUR – publishing

Once you have refined your book, and your teacher has looked it over and given you feedback, it is time to create the final product. Your teacher will explain if there are expectations (like page size or number of pages) at this stage that you need to follow. If there is an opportunity, this stage will also include the sharing of your product with children, whose feedback will let you know if you have accomplished this task successfully.

* please attach this sheet to your book
