Welcome to Mr. Jones Canadian History Page

Welcome

You’re about to embark on a journey of discovery, where you’ll learn new skills and challenge yourself every single day. Take a look at all the relevant details about my class and if you have any questions, please feel free to connect with me and get in touch. These times of uncertainty with COVID-19 are difficult for us all but together as as a team, we can help you stay focused and achieve your goals. Everything will be back to normal before you know it :)

If you have any questions please feel free to connect with me at:

mrjonessbdhs@gmail.com

njones@sbdhs.net

I will respond as soon as I can to answer your questions.

In the sections below, you will find a day by day break down of what each class will look like so that it is easy to follow along. Details about submission of work will also be included with each piece as there will be numerous ways that we will be running class and every class will not be exactly the same. Each class will state the requirement of that particular class, including assignments, work to be completed as well as PowerPoint slides to follow and most importantly, the specific times we will be live as a class, and the method in which this will be achieved (e.g. Zoom Live Video Conferencing)

History of Canada 30F: Welcome

Class Overview

In the information below, you will find what will be scheduled for each class moving forward. Not every class will run the same, however, you will be expected to do your part and complete as much as you can. Classes will contain aspects such as videos, live streaming Question and Answer, prerecorded videos to watch and much more. I want to try and make this as engaging for your learning as I can however, we all know this is uncharted territory for us all. If we all stick together and help each other with the learning process, the time of COVID-19 Coronavirus will be a distant memory and something that you talk about for years to come. Remember - it can only make you a stronger person :)

Please make sure that you go online and create the following accounts using your new gmail:

Kahoot - new account with your gmail. As I am using this mostly as a tool for assessment, please only write your real name so that the results can be logged. Any names that are not recognized are given a zero. The website is: www.Kahoot.it

Zoom - Please log on to www.zoom.us and create an account using your new gmail account. You will be notified in various ways ahead of time when you are expected to be online.

This tool is also going to be used for individual talks, questions and generally checking up to see how you are all doing. I will definitely miss being around you all!

First part of the activities for the next few days (from the slides), is to research the Battle of Seven Oaks. To do this successfully, you must use the following:

The Métis Museum, Métis Historian Lawrence Barkwell.
The Métis Resource Centre
The Manitoba Museum

Before you start the next activity - read this note from a fellow named Hero - a piece of secondary evidence about the Battle of Seven Oaks

Once you have gathered your research you are required to do the following:

- write an account of the battle in the form of a comparison between the Selkirk Settlers and the Metis

Highlight key moments in the battle where they have differing views of the events that took place.

The final piece should clearly show the opinions of both sides

As the second part of today's work, you will be delving into the text book to read about the aftermath of the American War of Independence (1775-1783) building up to some of the issues that would face a young Canada upon creation. One of these issues is the war of 1812 (a war in which both American and Canadian sides claim to have won - but we all know who really won :)).You will begin on page 124 and fill in your answers on the document located below.

RELATIONS WITH U.S Questions

I will be utilizing TEAMS to post documents as well as make lists of assignments with the information for the assignments so that it is easier to catch up on what you have not yet done.

I will also be making lists for you to see what work is yet to be handed in.

NOTE - if the work is not submitted into the assignment folder in the Google Drive (if you do not know how, I have a video to demonstrate how it is done - so please let me know so I don't come down on you too hard.)

I would hope everyone has completed the required work from the New France era as we are now a well away from that so it would take a lot of backtracking to do so. I do however have some files that I will post so that you can download and complete (e.g. Indigenous interactions with Europeans)

The next set of notes will be posted tomorrow. We are moving quickly to the end so if you still have any outstanding work for me, I will be checking through today and tomorrow and be emailing you. At this point, if you have work to submit, you will HAVE to come into school to complete it. It will not be a choice from this point.

I will try not to post too many assignments as I want to make sure that you are reading on the day work is set, I will be using our TEAMS calls to ensure that you are doing the reading. Tomorrow we delve into Cluster 4 and we will finish with Cluster 5 next week. At this point, I do not know whether a final quiz will be done or not, I will decide by the end of the week and let you all know.

Cluster 4 - Achievements and challenges

TEAMS call today at 10:55. We will be discussing the following:

How has war shaped Canada as a nation?

In this unit you will be learning about the challenges a 'new' country had to face in the modernizing world. A country that was trying to work out exactly what their identity was. You'll learn to understand that it was a pretty turbulent time in our history.

Using the following slides, read how Canada has been involved on the global stage in the field of conflict. You can use these notes to help you complete the answers to Task 1 (parts 1 and 2)

Notes can be found HERE

Firstly, once the call has finished, I have a few articles for you to read through, as well as a couple of video clips that will help you to understand how wartime assisted with the development of Canada as an independent nation.

Continue with work from Friday

You have the rest of the week to complete any outstanding work that I am missing. We will have a quick TEAMs call on FRIDAY to discuss this crazy year and talk about what was enjoyable about the course and unfortunately the things we weren't able to.

If you haven't handed the work in by Friday, I unfortunately will be pushed for time to mark it and therefore will have to mark it as 0. There is still lots missing so please, use this time to complete it or you will have to finish up what you have not next year under teacher supervision - not what you want in what will be an important year for you all! I have been informed that the school WILL be enforcing recovery learning for anyone who has not completed the required workload. If this is you - PLEASE PLEASE use this time to complete the work and not give you added stressors next year!

We will be having our TEAMs call TOMORROW (Friday) at 10:55. I look forward to talking with you. Usually I would be having some sort of Canadian History themed party on the last class so feel free to dress up in your favorite era of Canadian History if you wish :)

Thank you all for making this challenging year much more entertaining! Thanks for all your energy and hard work. It has been a pleasure teaching you all.

Look forward to talking tomorrow (Friday)!

Mr. Jones
