The purpose of this unit is to increase student awareness about Cultural Diversity in Canada. This unit can be incorporated into a Grade 7/8 Geography program or the Grade 9/10 Canadian Geography Ontario curriculum in both the Human Diversity Unit and the Canada and the World Unit. This unit looks at Canada's current cultural diversity including the diversity of Canada's Native People. This unit offers opportunities for role-playing, creative writing, critical reading, analysis of data, and Internet use. Students will hopefully gain an appreciation for the diversity of people in Canada, along with themselves, and the contributions that various groups give to Canada's multicultural society.
