We begin this year's foray into Social Studies by examine the history of Canada. We will be using the Voices and Visions textbook as our primary resource and the goal is to learn about the history of our country before and after Confederation in 1867. We begin by learning about the indigenous people of this land. A digital copy of the first chapter can be found here. For parents wishing to learn with their children, I recommend speaking with your child about the information contained in this chapter.
Some of the big questions we will be focusing on in Chapter One are: - What is culture? - What does a pluralistic society mean? (benefits? challenges?) - What do we need to know in order to best interpret a historical image (Skill Check on page 6) - How did the Mi'kmaq, Haudenosaunee and Ashinabe live prior to contact with Europeans?
