Description

Students watch a video about the US travel ban on www.curio.ca to begin learning about racism in the US.  Students explore a variety of articles which discuss two different sides of the debate including topics such as Hurricane Harvey efforts, US travel ban, Charlottesville to explore more than one side of the topic.  Students then consider Canada's reputation as being more tolerant and consider to what extent the same topics and issues facing Americans are also true for Canadians.  Students create a Venn Diagram to compare Canada and the United States.
