Welcome back to a busy week! Here is your lesson for today!
The fur trade is very important to Canadian history. The beginnings of the fur trade began as the Europeans tried to find the Northwest Passage to Asia.You have two computer classes to complete this.


What is the fur trade?

1. Find and post 5 pictures of the fur trade. Explain what you see in each picture in 5-8 sentences. (Remember to post where you got the picture from!)

You will be marked on...

  • Depth of your writing (Do you think deep about the picture?)
  • Grammar and Spelling (Do you write clearly and correctly?)
  • Content (What did you write about?)
  • Instructions (Did you post where you got the picture from? Do you have 5-8 sentences?)
  • Effort (How much "heart" did you put into it?)

Homework:
Read page 223 in your textbook. There is some important information here for you!
Finish this entry on the fur trade in two computer classes.
Have some free time when you are finished!
