This course contains 2 opportunities for you to identify significant equity issues in Ontario. In each project, there are 3 components: 1) Plan, 2) Presentation, and 3) Written Analysis. You can create an object, image, video, or find an artifact that represents the equity issue. The goal of this creative project is for you to demonstrate your views and knowledge on the issue as well as teach both adults and children about the issue.
If you would like to present an artifact, some suggestions for places to look for your artifact include:

- Plan (3%)
Select 3 readings from the course outline that especially resonate with you and introduce an equity issue that is relevant to the Ontario context. Briefly explain the connections between the readings and your issue and indicate whether you would like to use an object, image, video, or artifact to represent your issue. Please feel free to be creative in this assignment. If you would like to use other forms of media to represent your issue, you can discuss your plan with the instructor. Overall, your plan should be approximately 1 to 2 pages (maximum) in length, and you will have opportunities to share your plan with your peers and the instructor. - Presentation Component (7%):
Google slides will be used to share your equity issue your peers. Each student will contribute toone slide on a Google presentation that is shared with the class.
● The slide should include a picture of your object, image, artifact, or thumbnail of your video. If you choose to do a video, you can share the link to your video beneath the picture. A short (approximately 100 words) written description should accompany your picture.
● In the notes section, share your responses to 3 reflective questions that inspired your project. For each reflective question, your responses should be approximately 150 words in length. - Written Component (20%):
You will prepare a 4-page written analysis to outline and explain your issue. In the appendix, include the contents that you posted on your Google slide (both the slide and notes).
• The introduction should outline the equity issue that is represented by your object, image, artifact, or video. If you are choosing to present an artifact, the historical and current significance for children growing up in Ontario should be described.
● In the analysis section of the project make connections between your object, image, artifact, or video and equity issues in Ontario today. You can describe how barriers to equity that are represented by the artifact may be addressed in educational settings today. You can also discuss how your object, image, video, or artifact could be used to teach children, parents and/or other educators about the equity issue. At least 3 references from the course should be used for your analysis.
● In your conclusion, describe how the artifact might inform improvements in the overall experience of children in the circumstances that are represented by your object, image, artifact, or video.
● Use APA 7th format for all references used in the project.
