Unikkaat-+Stories


 * Unikkaat- //Stories// ** . This is the study of history. History is all about stories. This replaces //Time, Continuity and Change// from the WNCP Framework. The reason for this change is because such concepts have always been understood in terms of stories. This is inclusive of Inuit oral tradition.

From the WNCP framework:

**//Students will explore how people, relationships, events, and ideas of the past shape the present and influence the future.//** The past shapes who we are. An exploration of history enables students to appreciate the past, to understand the present, and to live with regard for the future. An important aspect of this process is the investigation and interpretation of Canadian and world history. Students will develop historical consciousness through a consideration of people, relationships, events, ideas, stories, and historical interpretations. They will reflect upon diverse perspectives, parallel accounts, oral and social histories, and personal narratives through historical inquiry. Through this inquiry students will develop historical understanding, which provides a foundation for citizenship and identity. Learning outcomes will focus on historical thinking, and will include concepts such as progress, decline, continuity, causality, and change.
