Museum Exhibition Project – Canada 1800 – 1850 (Grade 7 History)

This project is intended as a culminating task for Grade 7 History – Canada, 1800 – 1850: Conflict and Challenges.

In this task, students will become historical curators working for a museum that is preparing an exhibition on Canada’s history between 1800 and 1850. Their task is to create an engaging and informative exhibition that analyzes various aspects of the lives of different groups and communities during this time, including First Nations, Métis, and Inuit communities, and to investigate their perspectives on significant events.

For research, students can use notes that they took during the unit, their history textbook, other non-fiction texts, or online sources.
