  • Squamish Community: Our People and Places Teacher’S Package
    North Vancouver MUSEUM & ARCHIVES SCHOOL PROGRAMS 2018/19 Squamish Community: Our People and Places Teacher’s Package Grade 3 - 5 [SQUAMISH COMMUNITY: OUR PEOPLE AND PLACES KIT] Introduction SQUAMISH COMMUNITY: OUR PEOPLE AND PLACES KIT features 12 archival photographs selected from the Skwxwú7mesh Úxwumixw: The Squamish Community: Our People and Places exhibit presented at the North Vancouver Museum & Archives in 2010. This exhibit was a collaborative project undertaken by the North Vancouver Museum & Archives and the Squamish Nation. These archival images were selected by the Squamish Elders and Language Authority to represent local landscapes, the community and the individual people within the Squamish Nation. The Squamish Elders and Language Authority also contributed to the exhibit labels which are included on the reverse of each picture. This Kit has been designed to complement BC’s Social Studies curriculum for grades 3 - 5, giving students the opportunity to explore themes related to First Nations cultures in the past and cultural First Nations activities today. Included within this Kit is a detailed teacher’s package that provides instructors with lesson plan activities that guide students in the analysis of archival photographs. The recommended activities encourage skills such as critical thinking and cooperative learning. Altogether, the lesson plan activities are estimated to take 1 hour and 45 minutes and can easily be stretched across several instructional days. Through photo analysis worksheets and activities, students will be introduced to the Squamish Nation and historical photographs. Teachers are encouraged to read through the program and adapt it to meet the learning abilities and individual needs of their students.

Note also Due Date of September 18, 2010 for Newsletter Registration in Appendix 1-3 ! Overview: You will identify the environmental and social negative impacts and environmental and social positive opportunities at various stages in the life cycle of a product. Instructions: Select a product from a company or industry you are interested in. Apply “Life Cycle Thinking” to complete the Worksheet provided on page 4, identifying first ENVIRONMENTAL negative impacts and positive opportunities of your product at various stages of the product life cycle, then SOCIAL negative impacts and positive opportunities at various stages in the life cycle of a product. Use the Worksheet as a guide and customize to fit your product, but do cover all aspects of the product or service life cycle, thinking broadly about all the inputs, process steps and their impacts, transportation, logistics, delivery, product or service in-use or consumption, and end-of-life. This should be a high level summary, so all your work should fit on one to two pages (you may want to turn the chart to landscape and use 9-10 point Ariel Narrow font). Do research your topic, looking at relevant companies’ Sustainability Reports, news, industry critics, NGOs, etc. As you work, try to assess which of the impacts and opportunities are most significant. Examples of negative environmental impacts might include loss of biodiversity from clear-cutting, pesticides applied to soil, greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from diesel fuel burned in hauling, chemicals used in machining, water contamination in manufacturing, packaging sent to landfill, toxic leakage after disposal, etc.
