Chapter 3

 * For p. 100-102. Includes answer key. The only thing different I'd do is include the word bank for fill-in-the-blank. The reason I didn't this time is because the students fill it in as I lectured p. 100-101, then went over the answers with them.
 * I had the students do image analysis in pairs before teaching them annexation. Put on your visual literacy hat and have them pick out as many details as possible. e.g. who are the characters, clothes they wear, body language, age, emotion, social class, etc. Talk about symbolism (they may not have enough background knowledge). Try to get them to translate the formal Victorian style dialogue to modern English.
 * The Library and Archives Canada web site has a lot of political cartoons from this time period.
 * I remade the chart from the Teacher Resource Guide line master. Now students actually have room to write!
 * This chart is so useful it can be used in pretty much any subject. In this case, I use it to teach students how to take study notes. Start by having them make a T-Chart and list "Factors For Confederation" and "Factors Against Confederation." They'll have to list all the factors they can find from p. 100 to 112. Demonstrate how to take notes by going through the first page with the class and write on the board.
 * Next, pair up and compare notes. Give two HGO-chart for each student, one chart would be used for "Factors For" and one chart for "Against." For each chart, have students (in pairs) think up three categories that they can group their notes into. With a bit of scaffolding, one class came up with examples such as "French-Canadian, English-Canadian, Maritimes" or "Economic, Political, Social." Then they can copy their notes into the boxes under each heading. The bottom box can be used for a summary/concluding statement, such as which category had the most impact.
 * Emphasize that summarizing and categorizing information are important skills required in many jobs!
 * A primary document from Library and Archives Canada - George Brown's letter to his wife recounting the Charlottetown Conference.
 * Ask students to go through the letter with two different coloured highlighters or pens. Use one colour whenever G. Brown mentioned style, dresses, and the wining and dining. Use the other colour whenever Brown mentioned the "business talk" of the Conference. This connects back to earlier part of the chapter on Victorian customs and their obsession over correct style, appearances, and being proper.
 * Talk about the importance of primary documents.
