Socials 10-2: Intro to the Canadian Government

The Parliamentary System PPT is on my Slideshare account

As we get ready to look at the confederation conferences it struck me as a good time to connect with our modern political system so that we have a frame of reference from which to examine the ideas that were put forth as the colonies discussed what a new country might look like.  This content is a part of the first unit in SS11, so it important foundational work for next year.  Today we examined the Canadian parliamentary system with special focus on the three branches of our federal government.  I asked that you come to class with two or three sentences to summarize each branch (legislative, executive and judicial).  You can you the vocabulary terms from the PPT discussion to help guide your writing.
