    Abstract
    This resource pack seeks to “fill in the blanks” in the Grade 10 History Curriculum,

    and that is; where do women fit in? The curriculum has a heavy focus on the two world

    wars, and the goal of working within that framework, yet exploring a different historical

    perspective is what this resource pack seeks to accomplish. The “Big Six” historical thinking

    concepts; historical significance, historical perspectives, evidence, continuity and change,

    cause and consequence and the ethical dimensions, are the concepts that this resource pack

    is built upon. We have taken that framework and created a resource pack about Canadian

    women’s history within that framework. Furthermore, each lesson gives attention to at least

    one significant Canadian female historical figure. Instead of being presented information

    about “women in history” as a general subject, or as a “token piece” to history, this resource

    pack pursues women’s history at a deeper level. We hope that by focusing attention on not

    only women in general, but also specific women and their achievements, students will be

    able to relate to these figures and connect to their learning in a more meaningful manner.
