Confederation Gr. 7-8

Canadian history is brought to the forefront with our unit on the Confederation of Canada. Students learn about the origins of Canada by understanding the factors leading up to and including the Confederation of Canada. Our resource looks briefly at the historical background of this time and uses several different teaching methods to enable students to gather, interpret, analyze and synthesize information. Students will: understand the key roles of the Fathers of Confederation; recall the dates of important events surrounding the Confederation of Canada and the dates that each province of Canada entered into Confederation; and more. This Canada lesson provides a teacher and student section with a variety of reading passages, activities, crossword, word search, confederation monopoly, and answer key to create a well-rounded lesson plan.
