Early America & Canadian History Readings & Checkpoints
Over the course of the unit, we will be going through different sections of the textbook in class. Whenever we start a reading, the questions will be due the next day and there will be a reading checkpoint made available after school for homework (unless there are other instructions). The Google Forms online correspond to a specific topic/lesson in the textbook.
Development of British North America
A symbol is an object that most people recognize as a representing a specific idea. The photos on these pages show symbols, such as the crown representing the monarchy, and a town named after a king. Remember that the Loyalists opposed the formation of the American republic and were loyal to the monarchy of Great Britain. When they created Upper Canada (later Ontario) in 1791, the Loyalists used symbols of the monarchy wherever they could, to show their devotion to the Crown. Many of these symbols survive today.
