Demography: Tech Time

We are learning to demonstrate an understanding of the importance of immigration in the development of Canada. According to Statistics Canada, 1 out of 5 people in Canada's population is foreign-born. Immigrant source countries have changed drastically over the past hundred years. Linking to our Math, Art, and Social Studies units, this is what we will investigate in tech time. 

1) Take out the source country predictions sheet you completed last week.

2) "Check" your predictions by completing the chart in your package (also linked below). 

3) Connect to Data Management (blank sheet at the back of your package)to Social Studies by printing (or copying/pasting) at least 5 different maps, charts, and tables relating to Canadian immigration history—past or present (especially data beyond 2000)

4) Caption each graph or table to provide context (explanation of data shown, source, year, etc).

5) Due: tomorrow

• Practice this on a whiteboard
• Research an ethnic enclave (in Canada) of your choosing. 
• Save photos in a google drive document
• Start on your good copy (colour)

Toys for Tots #giving

At the completion of our babysitting jigsaw, you should have a better understanding of:

• why small children act the way they do 
• what you can do as a caregiver to help them reach milestones, have fun, and stay safe
• what are age-appropriate activities and toys for each stage of development

This next task is a practice run for the holiday drive. 

1) With a partner, find the following children on the ND website (Beijing, South, and North)

2) Read their bios

3) Open up a Google Drive document, and paste information on a toy/activity that is suitable for their age and special need

• Jewel
• Austyn
• Janessa
• Enya
• Nina
• Emerson
