8. Question and Answer Challenge You will be assigned to develop questions for either New France, 13 Colonies, or Rupert’s land Generate one good question for each of the following concepts Cause and effect Geographical challenges, or issues Challenges of coexistence demographics Imperialism Economic structure Social structure After you are done creating a question, you will exchange it with 2 partners who worked on a different topic

9. Good and bad Questions Good questions require thought and decision making bad questions require simple one word answers ex. What caused France to lose control of Acadia? ex. When did France lose control of Acadia? You can use the map and timeline to generate your questions Better questions use words like: compare, contrast, outline, create, design, revise, judge, decide, choose, value Also look at page 75 for ideas

10. Scoring Criteria You will not be marked on your answers to your questions You will mark each other on how good the question was So when this is completed I will collect from each group a score for each others questions Scoring Criteria 1 – questions are simple and requires one word answers 2 – questions are simple but require point form answers 3 – questions are good (use key words) and require point form answers 4 – questions are good (use key words) and require multiple sentence answers

14. Affect of Disease First Nations had no immunity to European diseases the first nations faced epidemics of small pox, measles and tuberculosis I have heard estimates from historians that 90% of the First Nations population died due to European diseases Reason, when they got sick, no one to take care of them Old likely to get sick first and children Old people where their leaders, and contained all their cultural knowledge

15. Brothers and Enemies Pressure to change The French are at war with the Haudenosaunee because the French are in their territory and would not trade with them The Haudensosaunee have to adopt other peoples into their tribe because they have lost so many to disease and war fare They must ally with the Europeans in order to survive, because they need the guns Possible Effects They adopt so many differing nationalities they lose their own They continue war fare could lead to their deaths
