Meet the Teachers Behind
GLOBAL PERSPECTIVES
World Music
Period 1
In this class, we studied music and the diversity of musical sounds on a global scale. Through the study of musical traditions across the world, we were able to explore the ways in which music has shaped and gives shape to cultural settings. By listening, analysis, and hands-on instruction in this class we were able to learn from an ethnological perspective, which helped us understand sounds that otherwise would make no sense. This made listening and playing music more enjoyable because we were able to understand where everything derived.
Homestead Singalong
The Global class got the opportunity to sing “Here Comes The Sun” with Brett Caswell and had a lot of fun doing so!
English
Period 2
English was our second class of the day taught by Mr. Toole. At the beginning of the semester, we very quickly learned that English was a crucial part of many projects we did in this program. Mr. Toole always had very interesting teaching tactics, and genuinely made learning an enjoyable experience. We started off the semester learning about proper essay structure, then analyzing literature and novels. Our last assignment was our English ISU essay, which was a way to show off what we learned throughout the course. From the written work to the constant laughter, period two was definitely one to be remembered.
Brown Man's Burden Poem
After reading the poem “White Man’s Burden”, students used a similar writing style to create poems that emphasized the mistreatment of the brown man during colonization.
English ISU Essay
The English ISU was a way to test how our essay writing skills had developed throughout the semester. We each got to choose a book from the infamous Global shelf and explore the book in different ways.
WORLD RELIGIONS
Period 3
World Religion was a continuation of Mr. Toole’s English class in the third period. This course gave students the opportunity to learn about different cultures, origins of different religions, and common similarities they share. Throughout the semester, we had the privilege of exploring several aspects of religion and how they fit into our everyday lives. With research, projects, and Mr. Toole’s teaching methods, we were able to develop our knowledge of religion and its role within society.
Martin Luther Skits
Sway Presentations
Students were asked to demonstrate their knowledge of Martin Luther, after watching a documentary and individual research, through engaging (and hilarious) skit presentations.
After being organized into groups of 4, students created 30mins-1hr long interactive presentations that highlighted key points of a given religion such as; rituals, dances, sacred writings, and locations.
World issues
Period 4
World issues examine international issues that come with developing an equitable and sustainable future. In this course, we addressed the present-day issues that illustrate these challenges. This was done by exploring topics that include, globalization, geopolitical relationships, population dynamics, and regional differences in the ability to meet basic human needs. We were given numerous projects and assignments to help us in the analysis of the complex problems facing our country and a constantly changing world.
The Great (online) Debates!
Arguably one of the most competitive projects in the program, after weeks of research and practice in separate groups, students went head-to-head in heated online Google Meet debates.
The Rant: Challenges and Solutions
Inspired by Rick Mercer’s rants, in pairs, firstly they created a short video explaining a world issue, and secondly, they were switched with another group to create a video about possible solutions to these problems.
POLITICS IN ACTION: MAKING CHANGE
Period 5
During Politics in Action: Making Change we were introduced to issues, concepts, and institutions of modern politics in Canada as well as in an international context. We studied politics, governance, the role of the government in society, how decisions are reached and conflicts are resolved. In the class, we were also given the opportunity to have numerous guest speakers, one of which was a member of parliament, Andrea Khanjin.
