Unit 1 Plan - Grade 10

Unit Plan #1
Grade 10 Social Studies

“Expressing Identities”
Rationale
This unit plan reflects key concepts and principles basic to the design of
engaging learning opportunities in a variety of ways. There are several strategies that
are present in this unit which enable students to be active and responsible citizens.
Students will explore historical aspects of globalization as well as the effects of
globalization on lands, cultures, human rights and quality of life. Students will explore
the relationships among globalization, citizenship and identity. The infusion of multiple
perspectives will allow students to examine the effects of globalization on peoples in
Canada and other locations, including the impact on Aboriginal and Francophone
communities. Students will develop skills to respond to issues emerging in an
increasingly globalized world. By examining opportunities and challenges associated
with globalization, the process by which the world is becoming increasingly connected
and interdependent, students will develop awareness of the impacts of globalization.
Recognizing and appreciating the influence of globalization will lead students to
examine their roles as responsible and active citizens in a globalizing world.
Grade 10 explores multiple perspectives on the origins of globalization and the
local, national and international impacts of globalization on identity, lands, cultures,
economies, human rights and quality of life. The key questions are To what extent
should globalization shape identity? To what extent should people in Canada respond to
the legacies of historical globalization? To what extent does globalization contribute to
sustainable prosperity for all people? To what extent should I, as a citizen, respond to
globalization? In answering these key questions students will be able to make an
informed decision on the extent that we should embrace globalization.

Global: world wide affect (global warming)
Individual and Collective Identity
Students will: Understand individual and collective identity in light of the opportunities & challenges
presented by globalization
Ways in which individuals and collectives express identities:
● traditions: an inherited, established, or customary pattern of thought, action, or behavior

● ideological beliefs
● role modeling: a person regarded by others, as a good example to follow
Challenges presented by globalization to identities and cultures:
● assimilation: cultural identity of the minority group disappears as its members take on the identity of the
other culture
● marginalization: the pushing of a group to the “margins” of society where they hold little social, political, or
economic power.
● accommodation: cultural changes that occur when two cultures adapt to each others worldview
● integration: the bringing of people of different racial or ethnic groups into unrestricted and equal
association, as in society or an organization; desegregation
● homogenization: erasing of cultural differences; uniformity
Opportunities presented by globalization to identities and cultures:
● acculturation: accept and create space for one another. Acculturation mostly depends on the relationship
within the two cultures. When one culture is primarily more advanced in technology and economy and what
not, it is more likely that they are the ones that will influence and manipulate acculturation. The contact
between the British settlers of Australia and the Aboriginals is a secure example. In Australia today, it can
we be easily pinpointed that they have adapted the European culture. Although the European style had been
taken into their world, the British accepted some small characteristics from the Australians. But because
they were in power of the condition, they could select the traits that were integrated in their culture. It can
be be both a good, and a bad thing. An example of good, is when useful technology is adapted from one
culture into another. An example of negative effects of acculturation, is when the aspects of another culture
cause problems in the society. Lets use the First Nations of North America, and European interaction for
both good, and bad. It was helpful to the European settlers when the Natives taught them how to live
through the harsh winters of North America, because without that knowledge, they would have quickly died.
A negative effect of this interaction, was the introducing of guns into the Native lifestyle. The guns replaced
their bow and arrow, and it was definitely a more powerful weapon, but it also would cause the animals the
natives hunted to be dangerous to eat, because of the gunpowder, and other materials used in a gun. It also
led to overhunting.
● accommodation: A process of mutual adaption between persons or groups, usually achieved by eliminating
and reducing hostility.
● Accommodation is essential to global peace and harmony.If we do not know of how to discover the way to
accommodation, then our world will be at total chaos with vandalism, violence and possibly, intrusion. Other
people will become conditioned to getting what they want which will not benefit anyone but themselves.The
solution to accommodation is so see the situation from a diverse point of view and willingness to work the
differences. With every situation faced, there somehow must be conflict. And with this conflict, must come
agreement. Without it, nothing can be solved.
● cultural revitalization: It is process of affirming and promoting people's individual and common cultural
identity. It is often used to revive important cultural elements of ancestral societies. That is, keeping a culture
alive for generations. Without it, many ethnicities will be diminished from our knowledge. For instance, the
people of the Métis group was disappearing, so in favor to keep it alive, in the 1920s, the MNA (Métis Nation
of Alberta) was created to promote collective identity that belonged to the Métis. This movement sparked
many, which lead to eye-opening support. It had basically promoted global multiculturalism.
● affirmation of identity: to declare to be true; assert positively, to uphold, confirm, or ratify
● integration: the bringing of people of different racial or ethnic groups into unrestricted and equal
Media and Communications Technology
Students will: Understand that identity is affected by the media and communications technologies in a globalizing
world.
Impact of communications technology and media on diversity:
● universalization of pop culture: to generalize the entirety of ideas, perspectives, attitudes, and other
phenomena that are within the mainstream of a given culture (mass appeal)
● hybridization: the ways in which forms become separated from existing practices and recombine with new
forms in new practices. Hybridization is the combining of cultures and or ideas to create a new culture or
better product. One cultural example of hybridization is the Metis. The Metis are aboriginals who are a mix of
Europeans and other First Nation descent. The Metis, being a mix of cultures, took aspects from each
heritage to create their own culture.
● diversification: the act of introducing variety
diversity: a variety
media concentration: the merging of large communications corporations so that control of media is held in the
hands of only a few companies.
media convergence: refers to the increasing interconnection and cooperation between media types in the
generation and delivery of news, info and entertainment.
Growing Up Online:

Future of Identities
Students will: Understand how globalization impacts the health of individual and collective identities.
Efforts to promote languages and cultures in a globalizing world:
● language laws: designed to favour or discourage the use of a particular language or set of languages. i.e.
Bill 101,
● linguistic rights: the human and civil rights concerning the individual and collective right to choose the
language or languages for communication in a private or public atmosphere.
● cultural content legislation: laws protecting a group’s culture from being assimilated within another culture,
or from otherwise disappearing.(i.e. in Canada, radio stations, television channels, and other types of media
have certain quotas relating to Canadian entertainment that they now must meet up to.)
● cultural revitalization: the process of affirming and promoting people’s individual and collective cultural
identity.
● linguistic revitalization: the process of reviving a language

Essential Question
● People in today's world are increasingly interconnected and interdependent. Trade, travel,
migration, communication technology, and the media have connected people in ways never
imagined by our ancestors. Globalization has an impact on each one of us, sometimes in
positive ways and sometimes in negative ways. Globalization impacts our culture, our economy,
our social structure, our politics, and our identity.
● Because globalization affects each of us individually, every person has a unique perspective. If
you are a General Motors worker who lost his job to someone in the developing world, you have
experienced a negative effect of globalization. However, the factory worker in Mexico who now
has a good job making those car parts has experienced a positive result of globalization.
● If you are an indigenous person whose family has lost its language and culture due to
assimilation, you have experienced a negative result. But, the fact that you now have access to
medicine and technology to make your life healthier and safer is a positive result. This course
focuses on what globalization is, what it does, and what our role is in a changing world.
Read Description Hint

“This morning you awoke, got out from under your Egyptian cotton sheets, put on your Chinese-made
designer-label jeans, your Indonesian sweatshop sneakers, and your made-in-Guatemala T-shirt. You
drank Colombian coffee or Florida orange juice and ate Canadian bacon and eggs. As your mother
drove you to school in her Japanese made-in-Canada SUV, you listened to a European rock band on
your designed-in-America made-in-China iPod. Then, she set off to work at an American oil company,
manned by Albertan's, selling their product to the U.S.A.”

Identify Positive, Negative and Balanced views (30 min.)

Ask each student to select a globalization statement, identify the author's definition of globalization and
decide if the statement reflects a positive, negative or balanced view of globalization.
(Encourage students to highlight words or phrases that describe globalization and its implications–both
positive and negative. Students may want to colour-code the positive and negative views by highlighting
positive words or phrases in one colour, e.g., yellow, and negative words and phrases in another colour;
e.g., green.)

Forces of Globalization Reading
Pg. 3-6
https://sites.google.com/uleth.ca/grade10social
Record Forces
1. Trade - A company that is based in one country while developing, manufacturing and selling its
products in more than one country.
-What might be a pro or con of this force?
• PROS – provide training and jobs and needed products
• CONS – jobs are often low level and unskilled – “McJobs”, profits only benefit the country where the
company is headquartered
2. Transportation - A system or means of transporting people or goods

-How does this affect globalization?
Increases the pace of globalization
3. Communications Technology - Technology that transmits information in digital form

-How often do you text? Could you go a day without texting?
4. Media
Convergence: the use of technology to integrate media (newspapers, TV, books, magazines, Internet).
They can work together to share stories.
Concentration: concentrating ownership of media in the hands of a small number of corporations. ex.
CTVglobemedia owns TV stations and newspaper.
-What might be an issue with this?
Domestic Vs. Global

-In groups try to place the blanks with the info on the smartboard
-Get a representative from a group to come up and complete on the whiteboard
-Make sure they have added them into each of their student booklets
Ask whether globalization has the same meaning as internationalization?
Ask if an event could be international but not global in scope?
e.g, Is going to visit a cousin south of the border an example of globalization?
Think, Pair, Share - Globalization Criteria (15 min.)

Identify indicators or criteria for recognizing an event as “globalized.”
Invite them to suggest three or four essential features or characteristics of globalization.
You may want to add to or modify the list, but for the rest of the unit we will focus on three features of a
globalized phenomenon
1. Involves multiple countries: has implications either directly or indirectly for a number, if not
many, countries or regions.
2. Creates dynamic, multifaceted interactions (leads to an interaction of interdependent forces
that often have implications for other aspects of society; these implications are difficult to control
or predict) .
3. Has supranational implications: blurs national boundaries and sovereignty to some degree.
Nike Example
1. Produces and markets in many countries around the world
2. Nike factories bring jobs and social services to poor communities; international boycotts have been
organized
3. Large multinational companies often play one nation off against the other; international labor
standards.
Etc.
Newspaper Activity (30 min.)

Individually - Classify news events as primarily global or local?
Students to skim the headlines and contents of every item in their front page and decide whether each
event has a primarily global or local dimension.
(To meet diverse learning needs, you may want to provide a sampling of fictional or actual newspaper
headlines, such as those listed below:
● Medical Researchers Getting Closer to a Breakthrough in AIDS Treatment
● Federal Government Gives Millions to Local Movie Producers
● Local Live Theatre to Close: Cannot Compete with New Multiplex Movie Theatre
● Rising World Oil Prices Means Billions More Dollars into Alberta Economy
● Internet Shopping Brings the World to Your Home
● Attendance in French Language Programs Has Doubled
● Alberta Sends Welfare Newcomers Back to Ontario
● Local Newspaper Lays off Staff. Plans to Use More Syndicated Columns.
Alternatively, you may wish to focus on local, provincial and/or national news events that impact the
local community.
Share findings on global and local dimensions

Invite students to share their conclusions about the international and domestic dimensions of the
reported events. Encourage discussion of the obvious and less obvious ways in which events
have international dimensions; e.g., local athletes may have trained or competed internationally.

Types of Globalization (10 min.)

What might be three major categories that globalization will have an effect on?
(Think about what areas the forces will affect)
● Economic Globalization – the process of expanding world trade networks to encourage
international trade.
● Social Globalization – the process by which people’s lifestyles are spread over and influenced
by global networks.
● Political Globalization – the process by which political decisions and actions are becoming
increasingly international in focus and influence.
● Environmental Globalization – the process by which the environment is influenced by
international events

Discussion
Ask students to identify typical activities undertaken by a teenager
(e.g., eating food, surfing the internet, listening to music, using electronics, taking part in or watching
sports, and using various modes of transportation).
List their responses on the whiteboard.
As a class, look for global connections in these activities
(e.g., consider the country of origin of their clothing, the creators of the music they listen to, or the
content of programs they watch).
Categories
To identify five typical activities for each of the four categories (economic, social, political/legal, and
economic) and to think of and list global implications. To help students understand these categories,
invite them as a group to divide the list of activities reported on the chalkboard among them:
• Social: dealing with interactions among people and actions of a social or cultural nature,
• Political/legal: dealing with family or civic rules or laws, enforcement, policy making (at any level from
school to government)
• Environmental: dealing with the impact of humans and nature on the land, atmosphere, and water
• Economic: dealing with the buying and selling of goods and services
Examples
Social - including meeting with or contacting friends, entertainment, athletics, music and dance, and
studying in school
Political - world affairs (e.g., discussion of news events), and basic rights;
Environmental - including weather, pollution, and recycling;
Economic - including shopping online or in person, using or wearing consumer products, watching
pay-for-view television, and eating at a restaurant
Instructions
Individually consider one of the four categories and look for evidence of globalization in the five
typical activities listed, as was done with the Nike example. Record evidence in the relevant box on
Extent of Globalization Assignment.pdf
Use the internet or other resources to identify evidence of globalization for the activities in their
assigned category.
How does the factor:

1. Involve multiple countries: has implications either directly or indirectly for a number, if not many,
countries or regions.
2. Create dynamic, multifaceted interactions (leads to an interaction of interdependent forces that
often have implications for other aspects of society; these implications are difficult to control or
predict).
3. Have supranational implications: blurs national boundaries and sovereignty to some degree.
4. Other

Class Discussion on Cartoon (10 min.)
This cartoon shows the earth pressing on the glass door of a house, seeming as though it is about to
break in. A man is sitting on the couch reading a newspaper, and globalization is obviously the main
theme of the cartoon. The fact that the globe is pressing dangerously against the door is a sign
that perhaps, globalization has been 'overdone' and has crossed the limit for many people. It is
now an impending 'threat' to our homes and this is clearly a negative portrayal of globalization as a
whole. This probably tells people who see this cartoon that globalization cannot be stopped, and now
has become an integral part of our lives that we cannot avoid.
This is mostly true; globalization is a global ongoing process that has been set in motion and there is
not much we can do to stop it from happening as the world changes.Cartoonist, through this
cartoon/drawing, is trying to convey the message that globalization is something the world cannot stop
or avoid, and it will not be good for us, whether in the short term, or in the long run.

However, how can globalisation not be beneficial for us? I do agree that globalisation has certain
negative impacts on the world however, globalisation allows for economic development, which will
improve standards of living. This will greatly improve man's lives and be beneficial for man.

#7 At its most basic, there is nothing mysterious

about globalization. The term has come into
common usage since the 1980s, reflecting
technological advances that have made it easier
and quicker to complete international
transactions–both trade and financial flows. It refers
to an extension beyond national borders of the

centuries at all levels of human economic
activity–village markets, urban industries, or
financial centers.
Markets promote efficiency through competition and

the division of labor–the specialization that allows
people and economies to focus on what they do
best. Global markets offer greater opportunity for
people to tap into more and larger markets around
the world. It means that they can have access to
more capital flows, technology, cheaper imports,
and larger export markets.

What is Identity?
Distinct characteristics and personality shaped by many factors
Each person has an individual identity and an identity as a member of each of the many groups to which
one belongs.
Ask to gauge pre-knowledge

How do we express our identity?
Level 1-artifacts, dress, food, holidays, language, art, dance, symbols, cutlery

-language
-religion
-spirituality
-the arts (soapstone carving, drumming)
-attire (team jersey, tattoos, headdress)
-relationship to the land (traditional hunting grounds, corn festival)

-role modelling (learning from elders)
Daruma San symbolizes good luck and success (-10 min.)

Daruma has a design that is rich in symbolism and is regarded more as a talisman of good luck to the
Japanese. Daruma dolls are seen as a symbol of perseverance and good luck, making them a popular
gift of encouragement. The doll has also been commercialized by many Buddhist temples to use
alongside the setting of goals.
How might we define a collective?

A collective is often explained as a group to which a person belongs and identifies with.

Collective Identity Wordle (15 min.)

Construct a Wordle out of as many collective groups that you are a part of.
Identity and Culture

Culture is a term with many definitions.
There are, in fact, 160 different definitions given for the word culture.
In your previous investigations of culture, you learned that it was a way of life built by a group of
people and transmitted from one generation to another.
How could we develop this definition further?
How does it relate to identity?
Record Culture Definition:

Culture is a system of beliefs, assumptions, sentiments, and perspectives held in common by a group.
These groups whether they are a community, cultural group, or ethnic group have their own values,
beliefs, and ways of living.
(Some parts of culture we can easily see such as food, clothing, celebrations, religion, and language.
But these are only one part of our cultural identity and heritage. We also share values, customs, and
histories. These shared factors help to create strong cultural bonds. Through these strong cultural
bonds humans create a sense of belonging to a group.)
Haka Video (5 min.)

The New Zealand All Blacks rugby team is the most famous rugby team in the world. They have forged
an identity as a group by blending the culture of the Maoris warrior with the modern game of rugby.
At the beginning of each of their games, the All Black team greets their opponents with the Haka, a
traditional war dance.

-How does language shape your thinking?
-Why might speaking another language expand the way you look at the world?
Language Readings (10 min.)

-Read and fill out booklet at the end
-Fill out chart in booklet
“Language embodies the way a society thinks... Through learning and speaking a particular language,
an individual absorbs the collective thought processes of a people.”
Booklet Answer: As you speak, you are in fact sharing your history with those you are speaking to.
Your language communicates your values, needs, beliefs, and customs.
Language also helps groups express feelings of group identity and togetherness.
We preserve our culture, traditions, and values by expressing them to others.
Readings Review
-Why do the Inuit have many words for snow and others do not?
Cultures have developed words to represent what they value.
-How does Globalization affect languages?
In the past, when people lived in isolated geographic areas, they did not need to communicate with
people in other places. Today, however, people communicate worldwide for business and pleasure.
Globalization unifies and standardizes language to make communication effective.
-How are oral languages important?
These oral traditions are important parts of a culture's history, law, stories, and legends which are
passed from one generation to another through the spoken word. This form of communication, which is
crucial to passing along stories, has an added benefit that the written word does not have and the use of
voice tone in the narrative. It was through this method of storytelling that generations of elders and
youth were able to connect.
-How many languages are spoken worldwide?
Approximately 6,000 languages are spoken
Linguistic Identity
In Canada, Canadians speak more than 100 languages. These include English, French, German,
Italian, Dutch, Arabic, Chinese, and many others. A growing number of Canadians are
Allophones, they have a mother tongue other than English or French.
81,085 Albertans have French as their mother tongue.

This is an 18% increase since 2006, while the population of Alberta grew by approximately 11%.
Furthermore, 238,770 Albertans have the capacity to conduct a conversation in French, comparatively
to 225,085 in 2006.
Affirming Collective Identity
Francophones only make up 2% of Alberta’s population. To affirm their identity they form associations
or organizations like La Francophonie jeunesse de l’Alberta, they develop or maintain institutions like
Francophone school districts.
Why do they create these associations or organizations?
Other groups form organizations to affirm identity and to ensure their voices are heard.
Text slang vs. Verbal slang

-Video
Linguistic Definitions - Record in Booklet (10 min.)
Language laws: designed to favour or discourage the use of a particular language or set of languages.
i.e. Bill 101
Linguistic rights: the human and civil rights concerning the individual and collective right to choose the
Cultural content legislation: laws protecting a group’s culture from being assimilated within another
culture, or from otherwise disappearing.(i.e. in Canada, radio stations, television channels, and other
types of media have certain quotas relating to Canadian entertainment that they now must meet up to.)
Cultural revitalization: the process of affirming and promoting people’s individual and collective
cultural identity.
Linguistic revitalization: the process of reviving a language
Bill 101 Video

● Made French the official language of government and of the courts in the province of Québec
● Making it the normal and habitual language of the workplace, of instruction, of communications,
of commerce and of business.
● Education in French became compulsory for immigrants, even those from other Canadian
provinces

Globish Discussion
Think, Pair, Share (30 min.)
Introduction to “Globish”
A 1500-word language based on English that is used to promote global communication.
Form small groups.
Go anywhere in the world today and you'll see or hear English in some form. It may not necessarily be
the Queen's English that you're hearing, but it is, nevertheless, a form of recognised English - it is
Globish. It is the common ground that non-native English speakers adopt in the context of international
business.
Introduce the idea of globalization's impact on personal and collective identity by discussing the
existence of Globish.
Have groups jot down ideas after 5 min. discussion. Then bring it back to a class discussion on making
it a global requirement to use globish.
Each group takes on a different point for conversation. Groups of 6, each with a specific
question to focus on and try to answer.
Ask students to discuss the impact of any requirement to use Globish by considering these questions:
1. Would this requirement lead to assimilation?
2. Would people who could not or would not learn Globish be marginalized by others?
3. What would be lost if language were homogenized in this way?
4. What advantages might there be to global commerce and communication if everyone could
speak a common language?
5. Would an individual's sense of agreement with others around the world be strengthened?
6. In the long run, would the universal use of Globish enhance or weaken a sense of identity?

Universalization of pop culture: to generalize the entirety of ideas, perspectives, attitudes, and other
phenomena that are within the mainstream of a given culture. A large number of people experiencing
the same culture (mass appeal).
Hybridization: the combining of cultures and or ideas to create a new culture or better product. One

Media and Communications Technology Activity (50 min.)

Explore Websites of multinational corporations
Invite students to explore the Web sites of one or more major multinational corporations such as
Disney, McDonald's, Nike and Coca-Cola (see References). Each Web site has links to the regions of
the world where they do business. Ask students to examine Web sites for three continents for insights
into marketing techniques and products/services. Suggest they consider the impact on cultural
identities.
For instance, point out how products are advertised in other countries. For example, on the German
Website for McDonald's, German and English are mixed to sell the products (see References). Invite
students to speculate on the impact this practice might have on maintenance of culture and promotion
of linguistic diversity.

Video NoLogo (40 min.)
Question Review (10 min.)

1. What are some features that have made branding so successful? What are they trying to market
instead?
That they could sell an idea (ex. Success, community)
A handful of all-American brands – Coca-Cola, Disney, McDonald’s – were the first to understand the
effectiveness of selling ideas and lifestyles rather than merely goods. Coke sold peace and love in the
60s; Disney sold the American dream; today Nike continues in this
tradition by selling an idea about the nature of sports and its intimate connection to the American
Dream; while Virgin has mastered the mass production of individuality and rebellion.
2. How do famous people relate to branding strategies?

Associate the person with the brand. Identity relation.
3. What has Disney done that reaches the full capacity of branding?
You can live your whole life inside the brand. Disney school - Disney life. Otherwise a monopoly on
branding
4. What are some areas of our lives that branding has pushed itself without consumer approval?
Branding in films. Key now for companies is to produce a brand identity, an image, and meaning that
can be stretched into as many different arenas as possible.
5. How are malls part of this process?

Malls present a striking example not only of the disappearance of public, democratic space, but also of
its replacement by the illusion of a public, democratic gathering space
6. What are benefits to multinational companies hiring overseas?

To keep wages down, companies contract out to workers in parts of the world that have no minimum
standards of pay and few public protections against corporate excess – and by setting up tight controls
on their workforce: ensuring that workers don’t organize for more pay, safer working conditions, and
more control over their lives.
Goods are produced in what are called export processing zones, industrial parks set up especially to
produce goods for the United States, Canada and Europe at the lowest possible cost in order to
maximize profit.
7. What is the local result of these multinational companies hiring overseas?

Loss of jobs in original country.

Sort the terms into either positive or negative categories (10 min)
Challenges presented by globalization to identities and cultures: (10 min)
Assimilation: cultural identity of the minority group disappears as its members take on the identity of
the other culture
Marginalization: the pushing of a group to the “margins” of society where they hold little social,
political, or economic power.
Homogenization: erasing of cultural differences; uniformity
Opportunities for Identity Terms:
Acculturation: accept and create space for one another.

It can be be both a good, and a bad thing. An example of good, is when useful technology is adapted
from one culture into another. An example of negative effects of acculturation, is when the aspects of
another culture cause problems in the society.

Festival Research Assignment - Padlet

Research Question:
In 1971, Canada became the first country in the world to adopt multiculturalism as official government
policy (Under PM Pierre Trudeau).
“The most suitable means of assuring the cultural freedom of Canadians . . . National unity, if it is to
mean anything in the deeply personal sense, must be founded on confidence in one’s own individual
identity; out of this can grow respect for that of others and a willingness to share ideas, attitudes, and
assumptions.”
Task:
In partners, your task will be to research a Canadian Cultural festival and create a marketing piece to
‘advertise’ and sell your festival and attract more people! The point of the marketing piece is to
describe your festival, provide important information about it and MOST importantly answer the
research question mentioned above.
- Essentially, you must determine how much support (financial, social etc.) the government
(municipal, provincial or federal) provides for the festival. OR is your festival completely funded by
corporations?
You will be collaboratively working to demonstrate your research on Padlet.com
Presentation:
You will be assessed based on your group’s ability to solve problems using specific decision making
processes and ability to creatively demonstrate your research.
Process:
You will have 2 days in class to work on this project and NO group can repeat the same festival, it must
be approved by the teacher!
Your group will be responsible for presenting this festival.
Selecting Festival
With partner take 10 minutes to go through the options available. I will be marking down which team
has which topic as they are selected.
Best topics:
-One that has a great deal of info available
-One that has information outside of the source available
Also note that the list on Padlet is just a suggestion. There are hundreds of other festivals that you can
choose for your topic.

Final Project
“Globalization is the process by which people around the world are becoming
increasingly interconnected through trade, the media, and migration with both positive
and negative effects on individuals and societies.”
In Unit One you have recorded the factors that influence identity and recorded them on a chart.
You investigated the impact of many global factors on the identity of individuals around the
world. People express their individuality through their traditions, language, the arts, role
models, attire, religion, spirituality, ideology, and relationship to the land. People are influenced
by these same factors that are communicated to them by their family, friends, culture,
community, and the media.
While our unique identity is important, membership in a larger group is also crucial to our
identity. We do not live in isolation, we also identify with a larger more globalized group.
Consequently, our identities are shaped by our individuality and our membership in a larger
group.
Develop a creative presentation that shows who you are and how globalization (the
process by which people are becoming increasingly interconnected) has influenced your
identity.
You can choose from a variety of presentation techniques, including;

• a labeled brochure or poster about yourself
• an illustrated narrative or story about yourself
• a video interview or YouTube type video
• an original song
• a poem
• a PowerPoint presentation
Or another (if approved by teacher)
Topic:
-To what extent should globalization shape identity?
-Am I a product of globalization?
Objective:
Create a presentation that will answer to what extent globalization should shape identity and the
extent that your own individual identity has been affected by globalization.
Instructions:

● Section 2: Collective and individual identity
-Describe how globalization has impacted collective and group identity
-Provide examples of a culture or language that has been influenced both positively and
negatively by globalization.
-Quick summary of a festival in Canada and the result of support (last activity)
● Section 3: Argument

Planning Example:
1.Identify the three most important aspects of your identity that you feel relates to your global
image. Use the factors of identity chart to help focus your thoughts. /3
1. Christian
2. Ukrainian
3. Love nature
2. From the list below, choose what the three most significant factors that have influenced your
identity and list them. 1 mark each /3
Language and Culture

Traditions
Religion and Spirituality
Role Modelling
The Arts
Attire
Relationship to the Land
Ideological Beliefs
Other
1. Language and culture

2. Religion and spirituality
3. Relationship to the land
3. Using the three factors you identified above, explain how globalization has influenced your
identity, both positively and negatively. Review the example provided. Remember to connect
your identity to global factors.Your identity should relate to global factors. 2 marks each x 6
Factor One: Language and Culture

Positive; My family would not be here if it was not for globalization
because they immigrated here from Russia. We have also been
able to maintain our religion, which is why we moved in the first
place. Overall, that is good. We still have maintained our culture in
several ways.
Negative; Because my ancestors moved here, our culture has

changed from the traditional Ukrainian culture to fit in with Canada
and multiculturalism.
Factor Two: Religion and Spirituality

Positive; Globalization has been an important factor in my
religion. My ancestors moved here so they could continue to
worship in their own way, and they have always had the freedom
to do that. Christianity is very important to me. Not only am I free
to be a Christian in Canada, globalization also gives Christians the
opportunity to spread the good news around the world through
media such as television and the Internet.
Negative; On the other hand, it also allows other religions the
opportunity to do the same thing, and because I believe that the
other religions are wrong, that's bad.
Factor Three: Relationship to the Land

Positive; I love nature. It's an important part of who I am. My family
are organic farmers, and we believe in caring for the land and, in
return, it nourishes us. In some ways globalization is good
because there is a larger market for organic products.
Negative; Global warming is ruining our environment, and that is

very negative. As well, huge global corporations are taking over
the agricultural business and driving out the family farm. Thats
negative for my lifestyle.
