European Explorers of Canada

Here's a glogster I made last week. It's geared towards a grade 6 Social Studies unit for Ontario, Canada. The glogster was relatively easy to put together. I did have a problem finding the source of the pictures I used. When an image is uploaded to glogster, there is no URL address to go with it. I did a separate search on Google, found the image and pasted the URL under the pictures. The video included is a short video on how Jacques Cartier mistakenly thought that "Kanata" was the name of the country he came to. The name stuck... as Canada... I guess we are a country with a mistaken identity!
 

This glogster poster is an introduction to to some of the more famous explorers that came to Canada.

I would ask students to pick one of the explorers to make a glogster dedicated to that person. They would find out information on how these explorers view the inhabitants of Canada at the time. They could also discover what kind of background the explorer came from and why they came to Canada.
