Students will create a interactive museum exhibit focusing on Canada 1713-1850.
In groups of two or three, they will chose the subject of the exhibit. Subjects might include: a battle, an individual, the fur trade, growth of industry, Acadians, Loyalists, missionaries, transportation, epidemics, The Underground Railroad, construction of canals and railways, extinction of the Beothuk, or a local building or industry.
Display might be about an idea: treaties, relationships between indigenous peoples and settlers, the immigrant experience, etc.
All exhibits will describe the impact the event had on people. Each exhibit will present multiple points of view on the event.
All exhibits will incorporate and display research on the topic and include a references list.
We will invite people to view their museum displays. Students will select the audience. This might be parents, students from UTES, or grade 7 and 8 students.
