Terms

It’s important to build a base of knowledge for this class. First, let’s start with a few questions:

Why does politics matter? What concepts/ideas/people come to mind when you think about Canadian politics? What do you know about Canada’s political system? What is citizenship and why is it important?

Next, define and discuss the big ideas and terms you will be exploring during the course.

Test your understanding of the terms by taking a Kahoot! quiz.

The Self-Determination Principle: A free people makes its own laws, selects its own leaders among a field of competitive contenders and never relinquishes the right to do so. Via: Students in Democracy Education (Section1.ca).
