The modules invite the students to work in groups or independently. Each module provides additional projects and activities which are optional. The secret to success is to have fun with the unit and be creative in meeting the needs of the students. This unit on Voyageurs has been carefully constructed to bridge Canada's past and present. As the students progress through the modules they will build an understanding of how Canada's past affects the Canada we know today.
Relevant links encourage the student to explore many facets of Canada.
Navigating along the Internet highway of information will be like travelling onthe rivers for the modern student explorers. Using their computer's mouse like the voyageurs who maneuvered their intricately carved paddles, the students are invited to investigate the Voyageurs and their heroic historical impact. A tremendous amount of time and teamwork has been put into this project to ensure a fun and interesting learning experience for all ages. We hope you find the unit useful.
