SECTION B

Geography looks at many parts of an area to understand it:

Environmental: The land

Economy: What do we produce? Export? Trade?

Social: Socially, what are they people like? Who makes up this province/area?

Political: What do the people believe in politics? Who runs what? What do we have leaders for?

Let’s brainstorm what we know about Saskatchewan’s geography from the above questions. (class discussion)

What do we know about the Atlantic Coast?

SECTION C

As people, we need to recognize something called “white privilege.” It exists around the world and has impact on many different people.

White privilege are the benefits that white people get from society, that people of non-white skin colour may not benefit from, caused by a history without equality and peace between race and culture.

Grade six! We need to be aware that white privilege exists. White have an upperhand in society, caused by a dark history.
