CHAPTER 3: BARRIERS TO ACHIEVING EQUALITY CAROUSEL PROJECT

Hello fellow citizens of Canada! We are going to further explore issues surrounding inequity in Canada. With a group of your classmates, you will create a carousel presentation on a particular issue surrounding the topic of Equity. The topics are listed in chapter three of your textbook.

After forming your group, here are some handy steps to follow:

A) Pick an equity issue that interests you and your group.

Please include:

B) Historical background information on this topic/group

C) Current issues surrounding this group

D) Identify what sections of the Charter of Rights and Freedoms protect the particular group at hand and if there has been any modifications in the legal system ( or if there are any to come) –Tip: incorporate textbook information from Chapter 3.

E) Conduct an interview with a person that is directly connected to the particular group. (E-mail an organisation, phone call, in person)

F) What should happen in the future to achieve equality: groups opinion on this matter, media representation, next steps.

How will you be presenting this information? Carousel!

Carousel: Split group up, each person is in charge of a particular subtopic. Each person presents their respective information to a small portion of the audience. After the presentation, the audience rotates to the next representative of the group to see their portion of the presentation. The cycle continues until the audience has rotated to see all of the group members of the respective group. It is a good idea to have an introduction and a conclusion.

Questions to consider while developing your presentation:

How are you going to divide the class into the number of groups you need?

How are you going to present your section of information? Be creative!

How are you going to involve the class?

Who will be keeping time, how will the class know when to move?

How will you maintain fluidity, continuity?

Time limit: 30 minutes max.
