Student Handout - Activity 3Learning from Someone Who Was There
|
| Name: ___________________ | Date: ______________ |
 |
The best way to learn about our country's past is to talk to people who were there. We can't always do that but we can use their journals, their notes and even their pictures to learn what it was really like back then.
The Kids' Site of Canadian Settlement has included many primary sources to help us learn about our settlement groups.
Go through the site and pick out two primary sources that you think tell you a lot about the settlement group you are studying. Use the chart below to help you.
