History is being taught as a semestered subject and we will be ending next week. As such, a special History mark sheet was sent home today so you are aware of how your child is doing. (Parents/Guardians who provided an email address should have received an electronic copy.)
Deadline Extension
Due to a major math test on Thursday, the deadline for the final product and research notes has been extended to Tuesday Feb 2 for both R7F and R7C.
There are three ways to improve the History mark
- Fix your research notes so that you’ve taken jot notes from the hand outs and textbook section before and after the rebellion. (For example, the Government of Upper Canada and Lower Canada, the Road to Rebellion, and Lord Durham / The Union of Upper Canada and Lower Canada).
- Do a great job on your final research product
- Do a great job on the History test next Tuesday.
History Test (Tuesday Feb 2)
Here are the two questions that will appear on Tuesday’s test:
- Think about what you learned about conflict and change in Upper Canada or Lower Canada. Identify the five most important things you learned during this unit and explain their significance on each post-it note.
- Take one item from your post-it notes. Make a connection between this item and something that is happening in the world today.
To look at examples of level 3 and level 4 answers, please look at the lesson we did on Tue Jan 5 in class: http://304.ldhss.ca/handouts-2/
