Unit 1 · 2 skills
Social Studies Concepts and Skills - 1. Culture and Diversity
The Arts, Culture, and Identity
Examining creative works through artistic inquiry
I can apply principles of artistic inquiry to examine a creative work.
Skill 1.1
Creating art to express identity
I can create a work of art that expresses an idea about culture, heritage, or identity.
Skill 1.2
The official wording · 2 outcomes
- 1.1
- how the arts may be used to express ideas related to culture, heritage and identity
- 1.2
- how the arts may be used to express ideas related to culture, heritage and identity
Key ideas
Creative works are a primary way a people's culture, heritage, and identity can be understood.
Artistic inquiry asks about the subject, the artist's point of view, and the mood of a work.
It also asks how the artist uses art forms and whether the work represents the subject effectively.
Drama, music, and the visual arts are all sources of knowledge about a culture.
Creative works are a primary way a people's culture, heritage, and identity can be expressed.
Watch out for
- Thinking art is only for enjoyment - it is also a source of knowledge about culture.
- Thinking you just react to art - artistic inquiry uses clear questions and criteria.
- Thinking you must master many art forms - depth in one or two is enough.

Key ideas
Examining and resolving issues helps a society achieve the goals it values.
Issues are complex questions with multiple plausible solutions.
The model: identify the issue, examine data, reach an argued conclusion.
You also respond to counter-arguments and acknowledge weaknesses in your position.
Applying second-order concepts improves the quality of solutions to significant questions.
Watch out for
- Thinking every issue has one right answer - issues have multiple plausible solutions.
- Thinking an opinion is enough - a conclusion must be argued and supported with evidence.
- Thinking the concepts are separate - they are interrelated.

Key ideas
Culture is composed of elements from the past and present and contributes to identity.
Culture is the way of life of a group of people - what they value.
Culture traits can be classified as artifacts, mentifacts, and sociofacts.
Culture can be local, regional, national, or popular, and traditional or contemporary.
Newfoundland and Labrador's culture has been shaped by the interaction of many factors.
Watch out for
- Thinking culture is only 'the arts' - it is a whole way of life.
- Thinking culture is only in the past - it is both traditional and contemporary.
- Thinking culture just appears - it is shaped by economy, geography, government, and history.

- 4.3
- the peopling of Newfoundland and Labrador to the mid-1700s
Key ideas
The Indigenous peoples of Newfoundland and Labrador developed sophisticated adaptations to a harsh environment.
The peopling of the province was a series of migrations beginning about 9000 years ago.
First Nations and Inuit occupied the region just before Europeans arrived.
Each group used its natural surroundings, developed its own technologies, and had its own culture.
Newfoundland and Labrador's situation and abundant fish met European needs for food and employment.
Watch out for
- Thinking the land was empty before Europeans - it was home to peoples for thousands of years.
- Thinking these peoples were simple - they developed sophisticated adaptations and technologies.
- Thinking Europeans came to settle - at first they came only to fish.

- 5.6
- how economic issues influenced the peopling of Newfoundland and Labrador from the late 1800s to 1934
Key ideas
The shift to a resident fishery was preferable to merchants over the migratory fishery.
By the late 1800s the colony could no longer depend solely on the fishery.
War, labour shortages, desire for profit, and reduced risk drove the change.
The fishery faced declining harvests, poorer grades, competition, and trade deficits.
English and Irish, and to an extent French, settlers immigrated.
Watch out for
- Thinking settlement was planned - it grew from the fishery's needs and pressures.
- Thinking the fishery stayed dominant - the colony had to diversify to survive.
- Thinking everyone came for the same reason - push and pull factors varied by group.

Key ideas
A combination of factors led to Newfoundland and Labrador's entry into Confederation in 1949.
The province experienced significant economic changes that deeply influenced its culture.
Responsible government collapsed in 1933; the Amulree Commission played a role.
Key issues include the Churchill Falls Agreement and the cod moratorium.
The National Convention debated the arguments for and against Confederation.
Watch out for
- Thinking Confederation was universally welcomed - the vote was close and hard-fought.
- Thinking the economy only grew - it faced major shocks like the moratorium.
- Thinking it happened quickly - it followed years of crisis and debate.
