1. Carefully read over the general explanation and instructions on how
to prepare for Learning Cells. These are found in the MGB 510
Course Outline in Course Spaces. Make sure you understand these
so that you can prepare fully.
2. TEAMS: For this Learning Cell, you will work in the teams you are
already assigned to.
3. INDIVIDUAL ASSIGNMENT: The Learning Cells are group exercises,
however, as noted in the Course Description, it is an individual
assignment, in that EACH STUDENT must prepare a set of TWO
QUESTIONS (which you will put forward, in turn, to your cell mates
for discussion), and his/her own answers/discussions points, for the
questions. The quality of your questions (and, therefore, the
discussions that they are able to stimulate), will be graded.
4. EACH STUDENT: Have a copy of your Questions and Answers ready
for when it is your turn to lead the Learning Cell. ALSO, hand in a
PRINTED COPY of your Questions and Answers to John AT THE
BEGININNG OF THE CLASS.
5. TOPIC AREAS FOR YOUR QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS (and, obviously,
for the discussions): Anything related to the subject matter for the
Sept. 16th class: the posted readings; the Kitimat Clean case,
especially as it relates to the readings
6. GRADING: This Learning Cell represents 10% of the grade for the
course.
Consider the Aboriginals communities side of the story: Past legislations like the
Royal Proclamation of 1763 and, post-Confederation, the Indian Act of 1876, greatly
restricted the political and economic autonomies of their societies. Fast forward to
our modern contemporary world, Aboriginals are experiencing a paradigm shift of
reinvigoration in self-esteem and self-reliance of their identity; to improve
intergovernmental relations; in progress to restore recognition (acknowledgement)
of their cultural identity and heritage through a combination of political and
economic reforms.
