Social Studies 9-D, 9-E, 9-G

Students in Social Studies have now been exposed to lessons on Interdependence and our connections to countries around the world. We are currently wrapping up a lesson on mapping, where students are exposed to 3 different maps: The Mercator Projection, the Peter's Projection, and MacArthur's Universal Corrective Map of the World. Students are expected to know the characteristics of these maps and the differences between them.
We will also be covering material on the provincial election over the next couple of weeks. Students are expected to know the 3 levels of government, what the elected officials are called, the number of MLA's in PEI, the main political parties, as well as number of political terms that will be handed out to students over the next week. Students will be educated about the political party platforms and then participate in a student vote on the day of the provincial election.
