What were the causes and effects of early exploration in Canada?
What have you learned about how different people view past events?
Who were significant individuals in the past and why were they significant?
What stories from the past do we remember and tell others?
Why is it important to understand different viewpoints on the significant events that happened?
What are our/my connections to the past?
