Grade 7 History Course Introduction
Welcome to Grade 7 History! This course follows the Ontario Ministry of Education curriculum and focuses on key events, people, and developments that shaped Canada from 1713 to 1850. You will explore two major strands:
New France and British North America (1713–1800): We will examine how colonization, conflict, and cooperation among Indigenous peoples, the French, and the British impacted the early history of Canada.
Canada, 1800–1850: Conflict and Challenges: You will learn about the social, political, and economic challenges faced by Canadians during this time, including the War of 1812, Rebellions of 1837-1838, and the movement towards responsible government.
Through inquiry-based learning and critical thinking, you will analyze primary sources, explore diverse perspectives, and gain a deeper understanding of how historical events continue to influence Canadian society today.
Looking forward to uncovering the past with you!
