Students examine the development of a Canadian identity through the contributions of various individuals and groups, inside and outside Canada. Issues such as immigration, technological change, French-English relations, conscription, the role of women in society, and the role of labour in the economy are studied and discussed. Students respond to moral issues in the light of Gospel values such as tolerance, peace, and social justice. A student- created scrapbook on the period 1900-1928 is the unit's culminating activity.

Unit 3: 1946-1963 - The Pursuit of Prosperity, Security, and UnityTime: 18 hours Description In this unit, students examine the economic, technological, cultural, social, and political changes that occurred in Canada immediately after World War II and continued into the 1960s. They also discover the growth of Canada as a middle-power on the international stage. The activities in this unit help the students to recognize the importance of certain themes in Canadian history such as Canadian and American relations. To develop skills used in historical inquiries students create a scrapbook that documents the significant economic, social, and political changes that occurred in Canada during the "baby boom" years. In this unit, students are expected to recognize the need to foster a society that is focussed on social justice and personal responsibility.
