UNIT 1<br />
THEME 1<br />
World War I and Beyond<br />
1914–1921<br />
CANADA IN THE WORLD<br />
Building Block to Your Challenge<br />
Create a Timeline<br />
As you progress through this theme, you will create a<br />
timeline of five events that helped make Canada stronger.<br />
This timeline will become one of the features included on<br />
the two-page newspaper spread that you will create at<br />
the end of the unit.<br />
Before You Begin<br />
Before choosing the events to include on your timeline, decide<br />
how you will judge which events made Canada stronger.<br />
1. List four or five criteria that you will use to make these<br />
judgments (e.g., This event made people proud to<br />
be Canadian).<br />
2. Write each criterion in the form of a question to be<br />
answered as you consider the events in this theme (for<br />
example, Did the event inspire pride in being Canadian).<br />
3. Think about the kinds of events you are likely to read<br />
about in this theme — and how they might meet the<br />
criteria you have established for making Canada stronger.<br />
Your timeline will probably include the dates of many<br />
different kinds of events.<br />
4. Decide on a starting and an ending date for your timeline.<br />
(As you move through the theme, you may decide to<br />
change these.)<br />
5. On a sheet of paper, create a draft timeline that is blank,<br />
except for the starting and ending dates and events. Leave<br />
plenty of room. On this draft, you will probably include<br />
more events than you will use on your finished timeline.<br />
As You Progress<br />
1. As you move through the theme, keep your criteria and<br />
draft timeline handy. As you read about events that you<br />
think meet your criteria, jot the date and a brief description<br />
of the event in the appropriate spot on your draft timeline.<br />
2. As you finish each lesson, review the material to make sure<br />
that you have included on your draft timeline important<br />
and accurate information that meets your criteria.<br />
When You Finish<br />
1. Decide whether you need to change the starting or<br />
ending dates of the timeline.<br />
2. Review the events on your draft timeline. Choose five<br />
events that you think best meet your criteria for making<br />
Canada stronger. On a blank sheet of paper, redraw the<br />
timeline, including only the five events you have chosen<br />
(as well as the starting and ending dates).<br />
3. Add a title.<br />
4. Store your finished timeline in your learning portfolio<br />
or where instructed by your teacher.<br />
