First Nations and Europeans

Starting on Monday, February 9th, students will be embarking on a journey into the past.  Our new social studies unit is called First Nations and Europeans in New France and Early Canada.
The big ideas are:

• Application: analyse some key short- and long-term consequences of interactions among and between First Nations and European explorers and settlers in New France prior to 1713
• Inquiry: use the social studies inquiry process to investigate aspects of the interactions among and between First Nations and Europeans in Canada prior to 1713 from the perspectives of the various groups involved
• Understanding Context: describe significant features of and interactions between some of the main communities in Canada prior to 1713, with a particular focus on First Nations and New France 

Students will be involved in the inquiry process and a variety of different learning activities.  They will be covering this unit for approximately 7 weeks.
