Today, you were placed in groups of three. The maps that were created yesterday were then given to you (one per person). Each person in the group read and explained the information on the map. After all were done, the students created a list called "Mapping Critique" in which they were to examine the map and determine the following:
Identify and explain the overt and implied messages conveyed
Infer the assumptions, interests, beliefs and values embedded in the text and the credibility and purpose of the author
Identify and analyze the artists/author's tone, attitude and bias
The larger purpose was to identify stereotypes that are often applied either directly or through inference, to a society - in this case, Canada.
This discussion will lead in to an activity you will receive tomorrow.
