We finished up episode two of "Canada the Story of Us". This led to talks about treaties, the Indian Act and residential schools plus the fur trade in the west and exploration of the west. We completed sheets on the numbered treaties and residential schools. We read the section on the Fur Trade in the West and Alexander Mackenzie, David Thompson and other North West Company explorers and traders. We understood that there was competition between the Russians, Spanish and English for the sea otter pelt and how the Indigenous people worked out trade in the west. We did some text book (new) questions and defined assimilation. Read p. 108-113 in new book. Q#1 p. 108 (lower part of page), #2&3 p. 113.
We also tackled the Scramble for Africa, looking at how the colonial powers and their quest for resources and domination of Africa. We did a quick sheet, some notes, watched the following videos in order to help us answer a sheet of questions and have been working on a map of Africa.
