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).____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ ................
