Grade 11 History of Canada (30F)
The Grade 11 History of Canada (30F) curriculum supports citizenship as a core concept and engages students in historical inquiry. Guided by Essential Questions, students focus on the history of Canada from pre-contact times to the present. Through this process students think historically and acquire Enduring Understandings related to the following five themes in Canadian history:
- First Nations, Métis, and Inuit Peoples
- French-English Duality
- Identity, Diversity, and Citizenship
- Governance and Economics
- Canada and the World
Historical Thinking Concepts and Skills, based on the work of Dr. Peter Seixas of the University of British Columbia, are embedded throughout the curriculum and provide a foundation for historical inquiry.
