Abstract
Through the big six historical thinking concepts, students will tackle the issue of
Canadian identity today by examining the past. First, they will examine how Canada’s identity
has been formed through different Canadian events: the Acadian expulsion and the formation
of the Numbered Treaties with First Nations bands. These will examine the changing
relationship between different groups in Canada using the concepts of ‘Historical Significance’
and ‘Historical Perspective.’ Secondly, students will examine different historical interactions
between Canada and the United States: the Vietnam War and the death of Herbert Norman.
Students will examine how Canada’s relationship with the United States has shaped Canadian
identity using ‘Cause and Consequence’ and ‘Ethical Dimension’ approaches. Finally, students
will examine the concept of Canadian identity itself. By using ‘Continuity and Change’ and
‘Evidence,’ students will analyze Canadian identity: how Canada has formed its identity and
how Canada tries to protect it.
