Grade 7
We have been concentrating on various events that took place in the mid 1700's in both North America and in Europe. Throughout this time period the French and English fought against each other. We read about many treaties and the effect on the colonies and countries attached to them. In the end, the biggest loss to France was having to give up la Nouvelle-France to Great Britain. This week students will have a short test where they are to fill-in-the-blanks to complete certain facts with the appropriate term. It will incorporate dates, treaties, colonies, and groups of people during this time period.
Grade 8
We have been concentrating on the events and conferences that lead several colonies in British North America to form one country. We noticed that not all provinces and territories joined in Confederation at the same time and we discussed the changes to the map of Canada from 1867 to 1871. This week students will have an open book assignment with multiple choice questions centering on John A. Macdonald and his life. As well, students will have a short test where they are to fill-in-the-blanks to complete certain facts with the appropriate term. It will incorporate dates, conferences, provinces and territories involved in Confederation during this time period.
