** __IB Unit #2 (October-November):__ __Where We Are in Place & Time__ ** ** __(Impact of Exploration on Indigenous Peoples)__ ** An inquiry into orientation in place and time; personal histories; homes and journeys; the discoveries, explorations and migrations of humankind; relationships between and the interconnectedness of individuals and civilizations, from local and global perspectives. __Central Idea:__ Perspective: (What are the points of view?) The point of view of each group we are studying: Native American, Aboriginals, Explorers, Missionary - each topic (economy, infrastructure, politics, and culture) can be seen from a different viewpoint (as a pro or as a con) Reflection : (How do we know?) Students will write an opinion essay from the perspective of one of the peoples’ studied. Form : (What is it like?) How is an editorial written in a newspaper. Risk-Taker : We are connecting fictional characters from our story __Island of the Blue Dolphins__ with how they are risk takers. We are making connections with the risks & challenges Native Americans and Explorers faced. Principled : Students are studying the effects of exploration on the Native peoples of Australia and America; the pros and cons of these effects on each culture. We will discuss how the natives were not treated fairly.
 * __Theme:__ **
