Humanities 7 – Building a Canadian History Timeline
Chapter 2: NEW FRANCE
Step 1:Make a new timeline
Step 2: Rename & Save link (copy file to your Google Drive). Email pruck@newhorizons.ab.ca the link to your timeline AND share your spreadsheet.
Step 3: Update template. Add the following with dates & pictures:
a) Your choice – add something to do with Canada’s first people. You may choose Mi’kmaq myths or seasonal cycle (like the picture on page 14), something from your presentation, a picture or a you tube video. I always like quotes or stories. Cite your source. Page 5 of Voices and Visions has some good ones to use.
b) Your Diary entry of someone coming to Canada on one of Cartier’s voyages (make sure you include the dates of Cartier’s voyages). Include a map or picture of Cartier. Or a youtube video of an old sailor’s sea shanty!
c) Champlain’s letter to the King
d) Couriers du Bois: Note the dates of the Etienne Brule and Savignon exchange and 2-3 sentences about this, or the explorations of Pierre Radisson and Sier des Grosillers (pp 42-43)
e) Your Senior interview (Choose approximate date range of their life)
f) New entry for your colonist paragraph / work on colonist paragraph from worksheet exchange groups. Check text & online for more info.
g) An aerial photo or other photo(s) of the Seigneurial system, and a short summary of how it came to exist. Use pp49-50 in your textbook for info, plus searching.

HUM7: An hour at the Silver Birch Lodge, 9-10am
Original 6: The Toronto Maple Leafs won the Stanley Cup five times between 1944–45 and 1950–51
The grade 7s are going to be conducting fieldwork at the Silver Birch Lodge this upcoming Wednesday, Oct. 10th. We will be taking oral testimony and stories of Canadians who lived through the Dirty 30s, WWII, 50s, 60s, and until today.
We are asking for parents to equip students with a phone with a recording option, or other recording device such as a camera with video, to capture the interviews, however this is optional.
We are also asking the grade 7s to dress up nicely. Time to break out those blazers, ties, shiny shoes, party dresses, nylons, bows, and cardigan sweaters. We know the Seniors came from a time of a strict dress code – no jeans in school! – and they’d like to see us look our best. Also feel welcome to wear any historical clothing of the 50s-80s. I’ll be in a poodle skirt in all likelihood! 🙂
Fieldtrip forms are due Monday Oct. 8th!
