Video:  How to Write a Monologue

We will be collecting stories related to population in Canada. In particular, I am asking you to collect stories from your families about how you and your ancestors came to live where you live.

Use this website to plan and organize your story collecting.

Capturing The Past

You will be expected to collect images (pictures, drawings, pictures of documents, etc…) to go along with the stories you collect.

I am asking you to use Voice Thread to present your images and stories.

This project is expected to be completed no later than October 21st. You will have some class time to do your work and some work will need to be done on your own time. We will also be doing other class work on the subject of population in Quebec and Canada during this time.

For Module 6 and 7 you will need to use the history website for now as I do not have presentations for those modules. You can make an appointment to come see me at any time to ask questions.

Also, don’t forget to look through this blog for the old question sheets if you want to use them to help structure your studying.

You Can Do It!

Tracy

Here are some study resources to help keep the material in your mind. If you have anything to add to this list, add it as a comment and I will include it on this webpage!

Websites

Historica Minutes

The Historica Minutes used to be called Heritage Minutes. You may have seen some as commercials on television. They are great little minute-long video clips about people and events throughout the history of Canada. Once you’re done viewing those, it’d be a good idea to look around the rest of the site, it’s devoted to the History of Canada.

LearnQuebec

You will need your Username and Password. If you forget yours, just ask me or Collin (depending on who your core teacher is) for a reminder.

Lessons in History

The course, module by module, with practice questions.

Question sheets to guide your learning.

They should look familiar, we used them throughout the course. I thought you may appreciate some fresh copies to help you organize your studying.

**Important note for those of you who use Vista or do not have Word or Open Office on your computers!**

• Download the files anyways, even if your computer does not recognize the format. Download them to your desktop or somewhere else that is easy to find.
• Create an account with Zoho Writer. This is an online word processor that will allow you to view the files, type on them, save them, print them, whatever you want to do. It’s really easy to make an account. Just follow the instructions.
• Once you are logged in, click on ‘import document’, then ‘browse’. Find the document you want to work with on your computer and voila, you can work with it just as with any word processor. Easy peasy.
