The Fur Trade

Welcome back to a busy week! Here is your lesson for today!

The fur trade is very important to Canadian history. The beginnings of the fur trade began as the Europeans tried to find the Northwest Passage to Asia.

You have two computer classes to complete this.

What is the fur trade?

1. Find and post 5 pictures of the fur trade. Explain what you see in each picture in 5-8 sentences. (Remember to post where you got the picture from!)

• Grammar and Spelling (Do you write clearly and correctly?)
  
• Content (What did you write about?)
  
• Instructions (Did you post where you got the picture from? Do you have 5-8 sentences?)
• Effort (How much "heart" did you put into it?)

Have some free time when you are finished!
