Canadian Sovereignty Timeline

Hyperstudio Project

 

Since 1867, when Canada became a nation, our country has taken steps toward complete sovereignty, and toward establishing a place among world nations.  In this activity, you will review some of the key events that led Canada in these directions.

 

The Task:

Individually create, using Hyperstudio, a presentation displaying a timeline of Canada’s development toward complete sovereignty.

 

The Procedure/ Timeline:

  1. Choose 10 – 12 events from the list provided.  Choose the events that you feel contributed the MOST to the development of Canada’s sovereignty.

 

  1. Create a storyboard displaying your slides.  Refer to the following format for your slide templates:

 

Slide #1 Title Slide
Slide #2 Timeline
Slide #3-13-15 Event Slides (each one will be hyperlinked back to Slide #2 - timeline)  Each slide should include:
title of event
year involved
brief description of the event
analysis of how this even affected Canadian Sovereignty (positive or negative effect)
navigational buttons
Slide #14-16 Bibliography slide (one or two, as needed)

  1. Hand your storyboard in to the teacher for review by the end of class on October 17th.

  2. Begin compiling your stack of slides.  Remember to refer to the format outlined above. Use the links provided at Resources.

  3. When the stack is completed, use the self-assessment scoring criteria to assess your achievement.

 

Presentation and Evaluation:

  1. Your Hyperstudio stacks will be presented to the class on October 25th. Self-assessments are also due at that time; peer assessments will be completed and collected following each presentation.

 

  1. You will write the exam for Theme I (Sovereignty) on Monday, October 28th. Please consider the slide show presentations as a review of this unit.

 

Your project will be graded according to the following weightings:

Self-Assessment:                                           20%

Peer Assessments (averaged)                      10%

Teacher Assessment                                     70%
