New Student Teacher Message

 Hello parents of 6C! My name is Ms. Kim, and I will be with the students of 6C this upcoming month.

I am currently a first year teacher candidate at OISE, at the University of Toronto in the Master of Teaching Program. Fun fact about me: Last year, I had the opportunity to go on a teaching internship in Beijing, where I taught grade 2 and 3 students English. It was an amazing experience! 

I am looking forward to getting to know the students of 6C, and will hopefully meet some of you as well. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me via Ms. S.

Social Studies Plays

Has Canada Always Been a Multicultural Country? Righting Wrongs Case Studies

   

What is this group’s “history” in Canada? How have they experienced legally sanctioned discrimination? Design a script where your group will role-play the history and make your own decision about whether or not to accept the compensation offered.

•       Scene 1: history of group immigrating to Canada/establishing themselves there

•       Scene 2: what happened that was discriminatory

•       Scene 3: the government apology/ decision to accept/decline apology
