How Canada Began
This unit will explore Canada through pictures, powerpoint, interactive media and video. We will begin by looking at our country through maps and Google Earth. Next we will explore myths, legends and theories of how the First People came to live here. We will visit the three Territories of the North to learn about life in the Arctic past and present. We will also learn about the history of the First Nations people who live in different regions of Canada. Students will research about the early explorers who came to Canada, the fur traders, first settlers and the coming of the railroad. We will also follow the trail of the Gold Rush and look into the lives of the immigrants who came here for a better life.
