Rights and Freedoms - Canada's Constitution

Today was the last topic in our government unit - Canada's constitution. Today we reviewed for our unit test by watching the Canada's Government video, and then examined our constitution in closer detail.

New bills and by-laws are crossing the paths of our provincial and municipal governments as we prepare for the Olympics. Many of these will directly affect our individuals rights. As we examine these issues, it is important that we not only understand our rights and freedoms as Canadian citizens, but also the limits that can be placed upon them.

Today's Activities:
1. Brief group meetings to prepare for debates
2. Video: Canada's Government - fill in questions on worksheet
3. Handout: Canada's Constitution - text questions about Constitution and Charter

HW:
Get ready for the debates!
