Unit 2: More about Our Communities: Regina, Iqaluit, and Bouctouche Planning Information Unit Overview gives you a Unit Overview summary of each lesson in the unit. In the previous unit, students explored characteristics of communities related to physical geography. In this unit, students continue their inquiry into the nature of communities by focusing on characteristics of human geography—specifically, cultural and linguistic characteristics. Students examine ways that the three communities—Regina, Iqaluit, and Bouctouche—express their cultural and linguistic identities. Again, the reading is guided by three child narrators who act as representatives of their communities. Through this study, and by continually reflecting on culture and language in their own communities, students see characteristics common to all communities. It is through these commonalities that students will be able to recognize themselves as both members of diverse communities and members of a single unified community: Canada. Social Studies Strands indicates Social Studies Strands the curriculum focus for the unit. • Culture and Community (CC); The Land: Places and People (LPP); Time, Continuity, and Change (TCC); Identity (I) Inquiry in Unit 2 Unit 2 offers two main opportunities for students to use the inquiry process.
