Class learning
Today we started jigsawing our presentations.  We had 7 different groups that we researched: United Empire Loyalists, European Immigrants, Non-European Immigrants, Francophones, Metis, North West Mounted Police, and the British Isles. Each group researched to find out the impacts and effects that their assigned group had on Canada and its development. They then each created an individual presentation based on their research.

Today, the groups were split up so that at each table, there was a representative from each cultural group. One group member spent time presenting their topic, and then they had a discussion on the impact of their group, using a question guide as a prompt. Once they completed their discussion, they filled in their rating scale, rating the degree of impact on Canada, and recording their reasons why.

We will be continuing our presentations tomorrow afternoon as well.
