FAMILIES OF THE WORLD We will be viewing some video clips of different types of

families in different countries (they are also set up into rural/urban)

You are to compare: Rural vs. Urban families of the same country Relate the country in question to Canada, how does it

compare? Do you think that the Canadian clip (rural/urban) is an accurate representation of Canadian families? Why?

And…. Similarities & differences between countries

What does the family unit look like (mother/father? Siblings? Grandparents? All in the same dwelling?) Use your knowledge of what constitutes a family

ORIGINS OF THE FAMILY

We’re going to create a timeline of the origins of family!

You will be in groups, and each group will have a particular time in Family History

There are 10 family distinctions (roughly 2 people in each group)

On a blank sheet you will put the name of your period in the family timeline in a large format title, with facts and other information surrounding it (you made add pictures if you wish to add more detail)
