Social Studies Homework (Jan 26)

The students have been discussing how to address social issues in Canada and globally. This weekend I would like them to spend some time looking up issues and choose one to research. They do not need to write a report on the issue they choose, but should gather some information on what the issue is, what is causing the issue, what is in place to already help this issue, and any ideas of how we could help (bringing attention to the problem, raising money). They should feel comfortable talking about the facts of their issue.

Grade 5 students should be looking at issues within Canada (Ontario or LaSalle)
Grade 6 students should be looking at global issues
