Canada's Confederation

We have been looking at Canada's changing map from the late 1700s to 1867. We've now entered a new time period of Canadian Confederation and have examined which British colonies existed prior to 1867.
Questions are on the Resource Page. Google them or use the textbook.

Due: 3 word assignment and Artifact paragraphs

Complete your final paragraph for your Pre-Confederation Artifact. You must complete the 3rd paragraph in 7-1-Artifact-Name or 7-2-Artifact-Name. Explain why you chose your artifact to symbolize your event, how it's historically accurate and what you're most proud of. Write 5-7 sentences.

Artifacts for the display case:
You will also need to complete a description of what your artifact is and its history.  Make sure you write a rough copy before you hand write it for the display. Double check your spelling. Sign your name and write 5-7 sentences.

Due Friday: RR3 Writing and Historical Event Paragraphs

Next week, we will begin work on the clay artifacts. You must have your 3 word note research, paragraphs and design plans done before you can begin. Aim to build an artifact that symbolizes your historical event and that you will keep forever.

Pre-Confederation Events

We are finishing our work on Canada's Pre-Confederation history. By now you should be finished your 3 word notes on your top 10 events, finished your textbook 3 word notes and almost finished your paragraphs.
After your paragraphs are completed, the fun begins! Design your artifact! Think about what object from your historical event could be a clay artifact. Your artifact can be a tool, vase, miniature weapon, or creative concept design that symbolizes your event.
