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.
