NCTCA 2023

Want to bring history to life in your classroom? Want your students to experience history? Want your students to think critically and build skills? We will start with an interactive simulation of the colony of New France. Students will take on a role in this society and interact with each other to understand individual roles as well as connections. This can be expanded to allow students to create a 3D model of their learning. Students then move on to our founding industry when they look at the fur trade across Canada. Students will take on various roles and complete a variety of engaging and interactive assignments to learn and demonstrate their understanding of 400 years of Canadian history. Finally we will look at the Deportation of the Acadians. This is done through the lens of the immigrant experience. Students get to explore and understand situations where individuals are forced from their homes and become refugees. There are many connections to be made to other times in world history to allow students to critically think about the movement of peoples. They will have opportunities to put themselves into history and become the characters that before they merely read about! Lots of humanities cross curricular opportunities! You will walk away with the complete simulation packages, activities, projects and resources.
