What does this exactly mean? Poll of the class, who is in favour, who is

against How do you think this would impact families

and their loved ones?

FAMILIES OF THE WORLD (CONTINUED FROM LAST DAY) We will be viewing some video clips of different types of

families in different countries (they are also set up into rural/urban)

You are to compare: Rural vs. Urban families of the same country Relate the country in question to Canada, how does it

compare? Do you think that the Canadian clip (rural/urban) is an accurate representation of Canadian families? Why?

And…. Similarities & differences between countries

What does the family unit look like (mother/father? Siblings? Grandparents? All in the same dwelling?) Use your knowledge of what constitutes a family

What sorts of customs/traditions does the family have that differs from your family?

Do the parents work at home or somewhere else? Do the children attend school? How do these societal structures differ from your city/country

Are there any different rules to follow?

ORIGINS OF THE FAMILY TIMELINE Get into groups (roughly 2 in each group) In your group, you will choose from one of the 10

family categories Origin of the family Pre-industrial Hunter gatherer Urban industrial First Canadian families Modern consumer Agricultural Contemporary Canadian Patriarchal Future families

You will create a poster providing the name of the family category and some important information pertaining to it (try to get at least 5 facts/points down)

In the end we will create a timeline, earliest families to future families
