Explain why these features are important.a.b.c.Through what part of Canada would it have been the hardest to build the railway? Why?As you can see, the proposed route was more northerly. However, the actual railway was built farther south. Why do you think the southern route was chosenTowns sprung along the railway route. Towns located far away from the railway either failed to grow very large or faded away. Why do you think this happened?Wrapping things up - create a cause and effect chart to show the impact of the railway on Canada’s West.480060022225The 0The 4114800121920002286000-6985The The 411480093345004914900142875The 0The 160020011430000491490085090The 0The 411480063500-22860064135The 0The 2286000-8255The The The railway is built 411480027305001600200273054914900141605The 0The from Ontario to 41148002020570041148002934970001600200420370049149003049270The 0The 49149001449070The 0The 22860002249170The The British ColumbiaChapter 9 Creative ProjectIndividually or with a partner you may create a diorama of a historical moment in Canada’s western. A diorama is a miniature recreation of a scene from a moment in history (or a scene from a book or story). It captures the moment in a 3D format that gives the observer a “bird’s eye view”. Choose your scene from something you’ve learned in the chapter, or you can choose from the suggestions below.On a recipe card attached to the top of your box write a description of your scene and tell why it was significant in helping to open the West to immigrantsSome suggestions:The building of the railwayThe North West Mounted PoliceFarmingThe role of First NationsSome things you will need:A shoeboxMaterials for the background, figures, objects4 Excellent3 Good2 Basic1 Not meeting Knowledge and Understanding? the significance of the event is clearly related to opening the west through a rich and logical narrative. ? the significance of the event is related to opening the west through a strong narrative but may lack a few important detail.? narrative is basic with some connection between the scene and description. ? the significance lacks details.??narrative is incomplete or makes no reference to significance or the significance of the event is confusedCommunicate ideas in an informed and persuasive manner? ideas in the diorama are communicated with creativity ? a detailed explanation of how all item in the diorama are related to the scene and description is provided. ? all requirements (background, foreground) are meticulously crafted ? most ideas are communicated in a creative and deliberate manner ? a clear explanation of how are related to western expansion ? all requirements (background, foreground) are included in a way that enhances the scene? ideas are communicated with minimal creativity and lacking a clear purpose? some information is provided to explain how items are related to western expansion? all requirements (background, foreground) are included but some parts may not add to the scene?? lacks creativity or is incomplete? insufficient evidence of ideas related to western expansion are communicated??missing essential components that are necessary for the scene to be accurate-228600-114300Lasting UnderstandingState three things that are important to remember about Canadian history from this chapter:1. _______________________________________________________________________________2. _______________________________________________________________________________3. _______________________________________________________________________________Vocabulary List(new words that you think are important).____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ ................
