VOCABULARY ● Costs

● Bene fi ts ● Gender

○ Gender refers to the characteristics of women, men, girls and boys that are socially constructed. This includes norms, behaviours and roles associated with being a woman, man, girl or boy, as well as relationships with each other. As a social construct, gender varies from society to society and can change over time. (World Health Organization. (n.d.). Gender and health .

NOTE: Students should develop skills associated with social studies to construct arguments using historical thinking skills. Of particular importance in a geography course is developing the reading, thinking, and writing skills of historians. These skills are vertically aligned throughout the curriculum guide with the intent to support the skills needed for students to become critical thinkers and to think like an historian.
