Individualism

English 8

Today in class we played a game called "100 Pennies" to simulate the experience in an individualist and collectivist society. We took a few notes on the definitions of Individualism and Collectivism. For the remainder of class you worked on your Individuality Posters.

For homework, please complete your Individuality Posters
. They should have your name in the centre with at least three (3) images that represent things that make you unique. For example, if you like hockey, use a picture of something related to hockey!

Your journal entry is also due for homework:
Describe and Explain your Individuality Poster. What makes you an individual? Do you think it is good or bad to be an individual? Describe a situation when you were made to feel that you should not be unique?

I will be collecting the journals, posters and vocabulary charts at the beginning of class on Friday.

See you then!
