About this activity

Live class dig. Phones earn digs with produced answers (place a year, order events, sort changes, type a number), claim or bluff about their finds, and challenge shaky claims while the big screen shows the dig map.

What students learn

  • Place and order key events in Canada between 1850 and 1890 using anchor years and clues
  • Identify factors behind Confederation and sort sources by the social and economic change they show
  • Judge how far a source can be trusted by asking who made it, when and why
