Consolidation:

The class will break off into groups of 6 for a jigsaw ativity to discuss their T-charts.

Hands On:

A mapping activity where students will make an estimation of the territory New France covers on a map of North America

Why did you separate the map this way?

Lesson Four: Current Issues

Prior Knowledge: Grade 3

Two of the groups (A1 and B1) will represent the First Nations and the other two groups (A2 and B2) will represent the European settlers. Arguments should present claims about resources, land, treaties, etc.

Consolidation:

Debate wrap up. Whole class discussion about strongest points and weakest points.

A3.5 Describe significant aspects of the interactions between First Nations and European explorers and settlements during this period.

Concepts of Disciplinary Thinking

Lesson Five: Dear Diary, The First Contact

  • Cause and Consequence - determining the factors that affect or lead to an issue or event
  • Continuinity and Change - determine what has stayed the same or changed over a period of time
