Assignment #12 - Prepare for Class Discussion

Students in E7B,

Next Day 4, we will be having a class discussion about two topics: The Loyalist refugees and the War of 1812. Your task is to research the following questions. You do not have to write anything on your blog, but you will be marked on your participation in our class discussion. This is your chance to prepare.

Read over these questions and research the topics. Make jot notes, either on paper or on a new blog post. Your jot notes will help you in our class discussion.

-How did the influx of Loyalist refugees change things in Canada?
-What were some of the causes (the reasons that it started) of the War of 1812?
-What were some of the effects (the things that happened because of) of the War of 1812?
-What would life for a Canadian look like, feel like and be like at this time in our history? (1775 - American Revolution started, 1783-1784 - approx. 50 000 Loyalists migrated to Canada, 1812-1815 - War of 1812) (Social life, material life, working life, institutions)

I have also played another history hip game named whizz quizz where you answer many hard questions that you are indeed able to answer because you just need to jog your memory, but be careful there's only one minute!

i think the live blogging assignment was educational but at the same time being short and easy

Miss pollock,
You said we should search for the causes of the war of 1812 and write some jot notes. Is that for assignment 12, or are we doing that instead of the assignment?
