Learning

A1. Historical Inquiry: use


the historical inquiry
process and the concepts
of historical thinking
when investigating
aspects of Canadian
history since 1914

Students will develop


historical thinking and
inquiry skills, while
acquiring an overall
understanding of the
Canadian economy during
the prosperity, recession,
and the depression cycle.
Students will understand
the underlying and
immediate causes that led
to the great depression.
The stock market
stimulation activity will
allow students to grasp an
understanding of the
functioning of the stock
market; including, being
able to communicate key
terms appropriately such
as, shares, stock market,
and collateral. Students

Minds On: Students will participate in a


Think-Pair-Share activity. First, students will be
shown photos that illustrate examples of the
economy in Canada at this time (images
dealing with drought in the prairies, eviction,
stock exchange, spread of panic during and
after the crash (bank withdrawals),
international and social contexts of the crash).
On a sheet of paper, students will be asked to
write down 5 words to describe the photos, 4
ways in which they are similar or different
from Canada today, 3 reasons why this might
have happened. Students will be given
individual think time to respond to the
questions, students will then find a partner
and share their ideas. Students will then share
their ideas with the whole-class. A Prezi
presentation will then be used to identify the
underlying and immediate causes of the Great
Depression including, both the stock market
crash and drought of 1929 will be shown to
the students. During the Prezi, students will be

Assessment for
Learning: As students
participate in the ThinkPair-Share activity, I will
circulate the classroom and
note any inaccurate ideas
or flaws students have
regarding reasons why this
might have happened.
During the Share portion, I
will probe deeper with
students regarding their
ideas. During the wholeclass discussion, I will give
students feedback on their
ideas. This will transition
into the Prezi that will
identify the underlying and
immediate causes of the
Great Depression.
Assessment as

developed in the study of
Canadian history when
analysing current social,
economic, and/or political
issues, in order to
enhance their
understanding of these
events and their role as

C1.1 identify some key
social developments in

Canada during this


period, and explain their

asked to take notes and participate in any


class discussion; students will also be
encouraged to ask questions.
Learning Activity: In order for students to
grasp a better understanding of the stock
market crash, I will be explaining its function
and introducing key terms through a Stock
Market Stimulation activity. The activity will
allow groups to buy and sell stocks. In groups
of 2-3, each group will begin with the same
net worth ($1000.00) and will be competing to
see which group has the most money at the
end of the stimulation. Groups will be
presented with five companies in which they
can buy stocks. Each group can borrow money
to buy stocks in order to invest more, but 10%
of their investment must be their own money
and 90% can be borrowed. There will be 4
rounds, after each round the stock prices will
increase stock prices at the start of each
round will be determined based on the ending
prices of the last round. The final round The
Crash will stimulate the 1929 stock market
crash. After the activity is completed the
groups will share what their net worth ended
up being, how they found the activity and how
it reflects to the Stock Market Crash of 1929.
Closure: Students will individually complete a
Quick Write answering, What impact did the
stock market collapse have on Canadians?

work collaboratively with


their peers during the
Think-Pair-Share activity, it
will provide students an
opportunity to examine
others ideas and compare
them to their own thinking.
Assessment for
Learning: As students
participate in the
Stimulation Activity, I will
circulate the classroom in
order to provide guidance
and feedback as students
may require help in
calculating share prices or
net worth. I will monitor
groups for indications of
positive teamwork and how
student behaviour may
change throughout each
round. For instance, at the
start of the activity, groups
may be cautious in their
stock buying, but as prices
make impressive gains in
the first three rounds, and
students confidence in
their ability to pick
winners increases,
groups may become more
willing to take more risks

Students will hand-in the Quick Write as they


exit the classroom.

students may be motivated
by competition with other
pairings to improve their
overall net worth. My
observations about student
behaviours during the
simulation will be shared
after the activity, as well as
discussing with students
their own thoughts of the
activity and how it reflects
the stock market crash of
1929.
Assessment for
Learning: The Quick Write
will allow me to collect
feedback about student
learning at the end of the
Stimulation activity. It will
demonstrate students
understanding on cause
and effect of the stock

on why they chose whom they did.
Learning Activity: Students will be divided
into 4 groups, each group representing one of
the political parties (Communist party, the CoOperative Commonwealth, Social Credit Party,
and the Union Nationale). Students will be
given the focus question If you lived in
Canada in the 1930s which party do you think
you might vote for in an election? Why? In
their groups, students will read the textbook
and gather information (roles/policies) on their
assigned political party and discuss whether
they support or reject the policies; and to
come to a consensus on the focus question.
Each group will then present their findings to
the whole-class; as well as, revealing which
political group they would vote for and why.

investigate the causes that
led to WWII. Students will
work collaboratively to
examine issues such as the
Treaty of Versailles, the
failure of the league of
nations, and the rise of
Nazis. Students will
understand the policy of
appeasement and how it
allowed leaders to give
into the demands of Hitler;
and thus, led to the
successes of Mussolini and
Hitler.

Minds On: Students will be asked to fill out a


K-W-L chart. Students will be given individual
think time to complete the first 2 sections of
the chart, What I know about the causes of
WWII, What I want to know about the causes

responses. (Students will be returned their KW-L chart the next class as they will be
required to complete the final section during
the closure).
Learning Activity: Students will participate
in a Treaty of Versailles Stimulation activity.
Students will be divided into 3 groups from
each nation (France, Britain, and the US). Each
group will be provided with a handout
indicating the roles of their Big Three leader
(either Woodrow Wilson President of the USA,
George Clemenceau President of France, or
David Lloyd George Prime Minister of Britain)
the groups will have time to review the
handout and get into character. Groups will
then be provided with, The Versailles
Agenda handout, and staying in character
groups will negotiate each issue on the
Versailles until they agree on one of the
available options. One member from each
group will act as a scribe and keep record of
all decisions and reasoning. Once groups have
come to a consensus, we will debrief as a

instruction can focus on
building new knowledge
and experiences (No grade

Students will learn about
the prejudice and
discrimination faced by
women in non-traditional
roles. The human
scatterplot activity, allows
students to apply womens
contributions during WWII
to women of today; and to
determine whether or not
they believe women of
WWII contributed to the
current status and
positioning of women
today.

Minds On: Students will participate in a


brainstorming activity. Students will be asked
to call out jobs that would need to be
performed during a time of war, students will
then be asked to identify which jobs they
believe were performed by either men or
women. I will inform students on whether they
were correct in their responses and will
explain jobs performed by women during
WWII. Students will then watch the clip
Canada Carries on, Women are Warriors too:

with a focus question, Identify some of
womens roles during WWII evident within the

have students share their answers. Students
will be given a time to individual read the
textbook chapter on Womens role during
WWII, as they will require this information for
their next activity. When finished reading
students will then turn to their partner and
discuss key points.
