Communities in Canada  1780 - 1850

We are starting to learn about various communities that existed in Canada between 1780 and 1850. We will be learning about the Aboriginal people of Canada, including First Nations, and Inuit people. First Nations and Inuit people are considered to be the First Peoples of Canada. We will also be learning about the Metis people and European settlers. 

The following website has an abundance of information about the First Nations people. We will be reading from this site and discussing what we discover. My students are encouraged to read and research from this site and share their findings with the class. Click here to read about First Nations and Inuit people.

                          Khan Academy

All of my students have a Khan Academy username and password. You should try to complete a few skills every week. I am your coach, when I look at your progress, I will make recommendations about skills you should complete or practice. Please follow my suggestions and do at least 5 questions in each skill. If you are not sure about a skill, keep practising and watch the instructional videos.

Have fun learning!
