Road Map for SS.10
Overview of Course:
Social Studies 10 explores Canada’s road to Nationhood from 1815 to 1914. The course will be co-taught, with each teacher addressing specific units and themes.
One main theme upon which the course revolves is life in the Victorian Era and the settlement of Canada, particularly Western Canada, during the 19th and early Twentieth Centuries, and the factors that influenced regional economics and migration. The lasting impact of immigration and identity will also be examined.
Another main theme focuses on achieving the National Dream. These include a study of the impact of Canadian geography on the unification process, the evolution of responsible government, and life in the Northwest, including the Red River settlement, the fur trade, and the Northwest Rebellion.
Students will explore area topics through collaborative assignments, in class and group discussions, essay writing, research assignments, individual analysis, and presentations.

Assessment
Assessment is continuous and cumulative from the beginning of the semester. As such, we will consistently be observing class participation, engagement in group processes, the quality of questioning and answering, the quality of assignments, the degree of effort shown, and so on. Students will be given many and varied opportunities to demonstrate performance, and there will not be an over-reliance on any particular measure of assessment, such as tests, essays, or projects. To determine a student’s progress in this course, we will evaluate his or her performance based on the provincially prescribed learning outcomes for the course.
