Ideas and concepts:

-early exploration - causes and consequences

-perspectives of different groups on the land, trade, war

-early French and English settlements and trade

-Compare and contrast continuities and changes for different groups at the same time period (eg. Settlers and First Nations)

Big picture questions:
*How has landscape/geography dictated settlement? world view?
*What physical and natural forces have shaped Canada and created a diverse landscape?
*How have physical and natural forces shaped our culture and identity?
*How have communities in Canada adapted to, and been affected by, geographical changes?
*Be able to make connections between landscape, natural resources & economic activities.
*Understand different perspectives on the use of natural resources (e.g.. First Nations vs Settlers, environmental groups vs people employed in industry, urban vs rural populations....think about what you know from the industrial revolution and apply some of this knowledge as well).
