Mr. Neufeld will be overseeing the class until the Christmas break. In that time, he will be covering the period from 1945-1982. We will step back and cover Canada at the turn of the 20th century and World War I after Christmas, as we have covered the material prior to these events. As students have handed in their essays, it will also be a good opportunity for us to pick up with our work in that area. Finally, we will be working on a review for the exam.
Mr. Neufeld has already distributed an overview of the material that will be covered, which is available on the network in the Canadian History pickup folder. Below, you will find the topics that will be covered and the corresponding pages from the textbook where you may find this material.
