The Legacy of French Canadian Immigrants in New England

Day One

Have your students point their browser to the Student Page. If working offline, print the PDF of this file.

Introduce students to primary sources by completing the Legacy of French Canadian Immigrants Mindwalk Activity, adapted from the Learning Page Mindwalk Activity.

Brainstorming: Students' prior knowledge of French Canadian immigrants. Initially the source of this knowledge can come from discussing the last names of students in the class. Are there any students with French last names? Do you know anyone with a French last name? Are there any places in the area with French last names (street names, buildings, towns, rivers, etc.)?
