Canada in 1815


The first unit in my Socials 10 course (after review) is called "Canada in 1815". 

The key questions for the unit are:
1)   What was Canada like in 1815? Who was here and what were they thinking and doing?
2)   What were the problems with government?


My lessons go like this: 
1) Economy in 1815
2) Government in 1815
3) Immigration in 1815
4) Big Ideas in 1815
5) First Nations Relations: 1815-1840
6) Rebellions of 1837-1838
7) Government in 1840

Of course, "Canada in 1815" wasn't quite the same Canada as today. We are just talking about Upper and Lower Canada, or the very southern portions of Ontario and Quebec.
