Students - Sample Activation Activity (borrowed from Sept 2022)

The Hume Park Learning Centre offers a safe place to meet others and learn in group settings. To supplement learning at  home, we offer classes covering a variety of topics, integrating language arts, science or social studies, as well as the arts and PE.  We use assignments, projects, hands-on math activities and showcase projects to share and connect learning between home and the Centre.


Sample Activation Activity Resources (borrowed from Fall 2022)

This year, we will continue to build on deepening our thinking throughout the year. We will explore diverse perspectives and how our perspectives inform our beliefs and way of life. Our activation activities will focus on animals as we all love animals! Specifically, we will explore the different views and roles of animals in various times and places.

Sample Activation Activity 1 (due date: mid-September)

Begin here by reviewing the Activation Activity 1 – Overview and Instructions document

This is a co-learning activity so please work with your child(ren) on all aspects of the project; explore information, read and listen together, and have family discussions.

Strive to move up Bloom’s Taxonomy. Our Theme for the Year 2022-2023 (pdf).

By the end of Activation Activity #1, we would like to have a better understanding of how historical Indigenous people view animals and how this view affected their use of animals. We would like to compare and contrast this view with our own personal/cultural view of animals and how our view affects the way we use animals today.

Students in grades K to 3 can use the Primary Table for Activation Activity 1 to organize thinking.

Students in grades 4 to 8 can use the Intermediate Table for Activation Activity 1 to organize thoughts.
