Socials Studies 10
View the complete Learning Standards for this course: Social Studies 10 PLO
This course focuses on Canada and the World: 1919 – present.
Four BIG ideas include the following:
- How global and regional conflicts shape our contemporary world and identity
- How political institutions are influenced by economic, social, ideological, and geographical factors
- How world views, perspectives, and ideas affect Canadian society
- How historical and contemporary injustices challenge Canadian identity as a whole and as a multicultural society
Much of Canada and its identity hinges on its multicultural dynamics, immigration movements and settlement, and long held policies that tie them all together.
While each culture has its unique qualities and contributions, there is also a collective understanding of Canada and its people.
