In this assignment, you will do a brief research and presentation on an immigrant group that arrived to Canada between 1800 and 1914. Using the same BELONGING questions that we have been studying, you will explore the experiences of different people as they journeyed to Canada.
The project will consist of the following:
- You will be assigned a location of origin
- Using the guiding questions in your research booklet, gather information about your location and Canada
- KEEP A RECORD OF YOUR SOURCES
- Using the information that you gained from your research, create a character and develop a scrapbook that tells about their journey and early experiences
Your scrapbook must contain (at minimum):
- 4-5 Journal entries and/or letters
- 2 “newspaper” articles (one from place of origin and one from Canada)
- 2 posters advertising and promoting life in 19th century Canada (primary documents)
