Attention all budding historians!  It's time to take the plunge and have a closer look at early history in Canada and Québec.

In this eight-week course, students will learn about some of the important topics of Canadian history.  A detailed list of topics covered can be found below.  

A slideshow presentation with pictures and key information will be viewed by students and discussion questions will help guide class time. 
Whenever possible, firsthand accounts will be provided through video or other media.  My goal as your child's teacher is to have them retain the information of those who lived during those times and gain an empathetic understanding of the circumstances that shaped Canada as it is important to understand the lasting impacts that history has on our present world.  

Students will create a main lesson book entry including the week's lesson and personal artwork.  This helps to solidify their understanding and retention of the topics covered.  Please see the 'Homework' tab below for more information.
