Note:  Use your question anchor sheets and list of gist words when creating your question.

Cause and Consequence

Review the video on Cause and Consequence:

Historians are like detectives; they try to understand what happened in the past, and why it happened.  The concepts of cause and consequence address who or what influenced events to occur and what the repercussion/unintended consequences of those events were (source tc2).

Consider the topic of Canadian Identity:

Based on your understanding of cause and consequence, create a question that would demonstrate your understanding in relation to the above topic.

** Review the questions you generated as a team- reply to the question: 
1.   bump it up using the question anchor sheets or generate a new question
2.  state and justify what type of question you are asking

Continuity and Change

Review the video on continuity and change:

Continuity and Change:  The old expression "the more things change, the more they remain the same"  is only partly true; while things have changed in certain respects they have also remained constant.  When considering continuity and change we consider, how are lives and conditions alike over time and how have they changed? (source tc2)

Consider the topic of Canadian Identity:

Based on your understanding of continuity and change create a question that would demonstrate your understanding in relation to the above topic.

Our Journey to Canada

Canada comprised of many different cultures, nations and religions.

Engage in a conversation with your family about the journey and reason why your family choose to come to Canada and why they decided to leave their homeland to emigrate to another country.

Include information such as, year, family members, reasons for leaving, reason for selecting Canada as their new home.

Emigrant vs. Immigrant
When a person emigrate, he/she leaves one country or region to live in another either temporarily or permanently.  When he/she immigrates arrives in that other country.  In other words, he/she emigrates from one country to immigrate to another country.
While emigratus referred to "moving away," immigratus referred to "moving into."

Read the following:

        During a winter night in 1880, the Donnelly family was massacred by an angry mob and their farm was burned to the ground. These Irish Catholics had lived in southern Ontario for decades, eking out a living from the land. The head of the clan, James, had done prison time for killing another Irishman who had questioned the Donnellys’ right to the land they lived on. Thirteen men were tried on two separate occasions for the murder of the Donnellys; no one was ever convicted. Interest in the event remains high; several books and a play have been written and a museum has recently been established

Identify and record the immediate and underlying cause and the immediate long term consequence of the event.

Use the first row of the Activity sheet:  Cause and Consequence

Continuity and Change

View and analyze the video and consider the historical concept- continuity and change in your own lives. Change and continuity is ever-present and occur simultaneous in your own lives as well as history.  Discuss and consider two significant changes and two main constants/continuity in your own life.  Consider the guiding questions posed in the video and the criteria established in class when determining the importance of changes and constants in your life.
