Residential Schools

Upon watching "We Were Children",you learned about several aspects of Residential Schools.  Upon listening to Stephen Harper's apology, you also learned of some of the effects residential schools had on First Nations people.  What were some of the long term effects of Residential Schools?

Imperialism

Industrialization to a large extent promoted Imperialism as world leaders wanted to extend their power or control over the world.  By taking over territory, European nations expanded their land and resources, but they often did not consider the people who were already on the land or the resources they were exploiting.  Even though the age of Imperialism took place over 100 years ago, what are some of the impacts it still has today?  

Industrial Revolution

Some say the Industrial Revolution had the largest impact on history and society; agree or disagree with this statement.  Make reference to past and present to support your response.

Welcome to History 10!

I am excited to teach you this year!

As we take a journey through time, starting at the French Revolution and ending with the First World War, we will make regular visits to this blog.  You can choose to comment on the post OR you may find a journal and do them by hand.  They are quick responses and you will get up to 5 marks for each one you complete on time. It will add up to 10% of your total grade, so it is important to participate!

There is also an upcoming events column, so if you are not sure what is coming up, please check that out as well!

Hope you have a great first semester on your first official year of high school!!

Mrs. Nelson!
