Description

Through this activity, students gain knowledge about American cultural influences on Canadian life and about the historic influence of Great Britain upon Canadian life. Students become aware of the role played by a pressure group, such as the Women’s Christian Temperance Union, and of the role played by the women’s movement in general during the 1920s. The students are provided with opportunities to make comparisons between social and political developments in the society of the 1920s and social and political development in today’s society. Students complete their culminating task – a scrapbook describing life in Canada during the first 28 years of the twentieth century. Students demonstrate their mastery of the information and skills which they have acquired in this unit.
