Happy New Year! Welcome back 🙂
HOMEWORK: Complete Parts I and II of the “Canada at the Turn of the Century” activity in OneNote
Final day before a well deserved break 🙂
Let’s have some fun and play BINGO!
Wishing you all a relaxing break with lots of time spent with family and friends! Rest, and rejuvenate – see you in 2024!
All my relations,
Ms. Ross
It’s test day! Remember to demonstrate all your learning and be specific about the curriculum studied this unit.
Best of luck!
During today’s class you will have the opportunity to pull together your learning from the unit into the Preparation document in OneNote.
Be specific! You want to demonstrate your learning from the unit on the assessment.
Don’t forget to look at Theme 3 and think about your position on historically significant individuals who have been honoured in the past – should their honourings still be present on the landscape today?
HOMEWORK: Prepare for the Unit 7 assessment. Be sure to bring your charger!
We will begin with a land acknowledgement.
Today’s class will be a continuation of the theme “BC is a province built upon ethnic diversity”. While watching the first 45 minutes of Episode 3 of BC: An Untold History, complete the chart in OneNote.
This episode provides further learning on Chinese and Japanese immigrants, as well as introduces new learning on South Asian immigrants.
HOMEWORK: Work on pulling information together in the “Preparing for the Unit 7 assessment” document
So far in the unit we have been learning how BC was built upon resources and the decisions of significant individuals. But neither of these could have happened if people did not come to BC to work.
Today you will be re-introduced to key groups who helped build BC by watching a segment from Episode 2 of BC: An Untold History from the Knowledge Network series. There is a matching assignment to complete in OneNote.
Then, students will learn about two more immigrant groups who helped develop BC by completing an activity in OneNote. The reading for this activity can be found on Teams-Unit 7 channel-Files.
Lastly, students can begin pulling together information on the key industries that built BC in the “Preparing for the Unit 7 assessment” document in OneNote
HOMEWORK:
1. Ensure today’s activities are completed
2. Start pulling together learning on the key industries that build the province in the prep document
Today’s focus is to explore in more detail the theme “BC is a province built upon resources”. Questions to consider include:
a) What resource industries existed in the early years of the colony/province’s history?
b) How are these resources related to one another?
c) How did each resource industry spur on further development (like a domino effect)?
Students will be visiting stations and reading “newspapers” to complete an activity in OneNote.
Use your time effectively as you want to visit all 5 stations this block!
Students who are absent – all the “newspapers” can be found on Teams-Unit 7 channel-Files in a folder called “Resource newspapers”.
HOMEWORK: Ensure the following assignments are completed thus far in the unit:
a) History of BC Parts A, B, C
b) History of BC Episode 1
c) History of BC and First Nations
d) BC was founded upon resources – “newspaper” stations
We will begin with a land acknowledgement.
Since our lesson yesterday was disrupted this will be our focus today.
So far in the unit we have been learning about the history of BC from the colonizer’s perspective – how BC developed once Europeans settled the land. What about First Nations who have inhabited the land since time immemorial? Their history spans thousands of years. How were First Peoples impacted when BC was colonized?
Today you will be watching some of Episode 1 from BC: An Untold History and completing a worksheet while viewing in OneNote.
The final activity will be to learn more about the roles and contributions of First Nations to the development of BC and how they were impacted positively and negatively as a result of colonization. There is an assignment to complete in OneNote and the PDF reading is on Teams-Unit 7 channel-Files.
HOMEWORK: Complete the activity “History of BC and First Nations”
So far in the unit we have been learning about the history of BC from the colonizer’s perspective – how BC developed once Europeans settled the land.

We will continue learning about the political history of BC today: how we became 2 colonies of Britain, merged into one colony, then joined Confederation.
You will be completing Parts B and C of “History of the Province of BC” in OneNote. Readings are posted on Teams-Unit 7 channel-Files.
