CONCEPT OVERVIEWS

  • List facts
  • Ask questions
  • Make analogies
  • Draw pictures

Imagine you are my grade nine social studies class and we've nearly completed a unit on pluralism & integration. We recently wrapped up discussions on systemic discrimination in Canada’s past (GLO 9.1.4, SLO KH-030).

AS A CLASS

WHAT DO WE KNOW ABOUT THIS TOPIC?

Systemic discrimination occurs when a majority group attempts to exclude, silence or assimilate a minority group.

THE CLOCK STARTS NOW!

TAKE A FEW MINUTES WITH YOUR TABLE TO FILL IN THE FORM

FINAL THOUGHTS

  • The concept overview embodies Bloom’s Taxonomy, allowing students to define, list, and create based on a concept.
  • It can be used in every subject. Pythagorean’s Theorm in math, cell division in Biology, offensive strategy in Physical Education could all fit this form.
