The Social 20-2 class is learning all about nationalism, patriotism, civic nations, the connection between identity and nation, and some understandings of nation (language, ethnicity, culture, religion, geography, spirituality, relationship to land, and politics).
As we move towards the end of our first unit, the students were given a new assignment; to make their own nation!
After years of struggling to be recognized as an independent nation, your goal has finally been attained.
With this introduction, students were given the task to create their own nation (with some guidelines, of course). They have to name their nation, describe the structure of their society, and explain their religion, location, and geography. Along with those components, they must also design their national flag and provide reasoning for the symbols and colours used, and compose a national anthem.
It seems like quite the assignment, but this class seems to be all for it. Their ideas and discussions are already blowing me away. I can't wait to see their presentations and learn all about their new nations!
