The lands impact on identity

Hello everyone and welcome back to another post. This one is a follow up to the last post which you can check out here.

If you’ve been reading my post for a while you might recall last years post about the field study from when we went to Oregon. The topic for that unit was worldview. Believe it or not worldview and identity are connected. We learned that worldview is your view of the worldview and identity is how the world sees you. We also learned a lot before the trip. We learned about the First Nations territory’s that are in now modern day British Columbia and Alberta. As well as the impact the Europeans had on the First Nations.

We also learned about the CPR. We learned why it was built and the impact it had on creating Canada as we know it today.

Keeping all that in mind, we started our field study. We also had to answer the driving question. How does the land impact our identity? We went to a variety of different places to help us answer the question. Some of the places we went to were Craigellachie, Columbia icefield, Beakerhead, Banff, Lake Louise, Drumheller and so many more. We even went to a bison ranch!

One good example of our driving question is Drumheller. Drumheller is a small town that wouldn’t exist if it weren’t for dinosaurs . The discovery of fossils allowed a ton of businesses to open such as the royal tyrell museum. The opening of these businesses created more jobs thus creating a town and attracting people from around the world to come.

Our project for this unit was to make a 5 minute video that answered the driving question. Below is my video explaining my answer to the driving question as well as featuring some places that I haven’t mention in this post.

In conclusion I learned a lot about identity. As for the answer to our driving question, my answer is the land impacts your identity in many different ways. From how you live to the activities you take part in. But you identity is not only what impacts you

One thought on “The lands impact on identity

  1. You say “believe it or not worldview and identify are connected,” before you mentioned identity in the first place. It just seems a little strange the way you bring it up.

    When you say “keeping all that in mind we started our firefly study we also had to answer the driving question,” it a run on sentence and say we also doesn’t make sense after that.

    There is no conclusion – try to summarize what you learned and what specifically thought you that

    Try to go more in depth about the project criteria

    You have a great amount of pictures and links!

    Good organization!

    The post has a really good beginning and middle, then you just need to add more of a conclusion for the end

    In your identity Video make your driving questions text curve the other way and have it at the bottom of the screen – it covers your face

    In the identity Video you can hear you say stop in your intro – take that out

    When you talk about burning man you should show photos or clips of it

    – This post is really really good overall!
