Early Contact Review

Socials 10 starts in 1815, and there is some prior context that students should know in order to understand what was going in Canada by 1815. After reviewing some European history, I then review early contact in North America. My outline looks like this:


Early Contact in North America

A. The French
     -meeting Algonquian and Iroquois
     -traders and missionaries
     -pre-existing conflict (ex. the Huron)
     -New France


B. The English
     -Hudson's Bay
     -Jamestown


C. Alliances and Conflict
