Course Outline
Grade 11 Canadian History Course Outline.
The Grade 11 Canadian History is a mandatory course for students in Manitoba. The 18 week course features the textbook, "Our Canada." Material will be taken from the textbook, as the primary source. However the internet, videotapes, DVD, television, newspapers and other sources may be used throughout the course to supplement the primary source.
The following chapters will be studied:
1.) The First Peoples
2.) The Immigrants
3.) New France: The French in America to 1760
4.) British North America, 1760 - 1867
5.) Aboriginal and Colonial governments to 1867.
6.) Federalism, Political Parties, and Canadian Rights and Freedoms and Responsibilities
7.) Western Canada
8.) Industrialization in Canada
Receiving credit:
Students will be assigned work on a daily basis to introduce, study and master the various topics. Marks will be allocated with a 70% classroom work, ( 10% of which will be reserved for classroom participation/"bonus" work) and a final exam worth 30%.
Students can expect to be responsible for approximately 24 various evaluations throughout the course.
Students registered at an "S"level, can expect to be responsible for more written work in the form of essays, and other creative writing. Students registered as "G" level students will receive the same course content, but with less focus on essays and projects, and more on classroom or one day assignments.
Attendance:
Students are expected to attend on a daily basis. Absences must be accompanied with a parental note upon the students return to class. Students who have missed a class, may consult other students for the missed work, or see the teacher at the lunch break or the end of the school day. School and Division policy state that at various absences, various consequences occur. The most noteable one is that once a student reaches 16 absences, his credit for the course may be suspended. (For further information please check the school's web page and also the division policy)
Gr. 11 "MazurHistory" Website
The Grade 11 Mazur History website will feature a variety of learning aides and information regarding the course and the material studied. Two features of note will be the "class scribe" section, and a Discussion section for students, teachers and parents to provide feedback, on particular historical topics.
The class scribe will be a representation of the daily lesson, as summarized by an appointed student. In the student's post, a description of the daily lesson should be posted. It would include the topic, page number, or handout info, as well as the instructions, students thoughts, and feedback on the work. At the conclusion of the post, the student will appoint someone else in class to be responsible for the next day's "scribe post"
