MATERIALS NEEDED Handouts (on back) Computers to access Open Collections Digital Primary Sources OPEN COLLECTIONS DIGITAL PRIMARY SOURCES The Golden Northwest: A Home for Many People (https://dx.doi.org/10.14288/1.0216053) To land hunters! To Winnipeg and return $25.00 (https://dx.doi.org/10.14288/1.0135166) ACTIVITY 1. Give each student a copy of the handout on the back of this sheet and have students form groups to analyze the primary source To land hunters! To Winnipeg and return $25. 2. Have students share what they found with the class focusing on the creator\u00E2\u0080\u0099s point of view and the message they created. 3. Have the students look closely at the source The Golden Northwest: A Home for Many People and discuss the following questions together: \u00EF\u0082\u00B7 What images do you see in the source? \u00EF\u0082\u00B7 Why would the creators of this source use these images? \u00EF\u0082\u00B7 What do you think these images mean? \u00EF\u0082\u00B7 What do these images mean in the context of the sources you analyzed earlier? \u00EF\u0082\u00B7 What does the creator of the image suggest about Winnipeg? \u00EF\u0082\u00B7 Who is the creator trying to attract? 4. Have students develop a list of qualities, skills, and abilities they think would be needed to settle in Winnipeg based on the clues provided to them in the two primary sources. Extend there thinking by asking them probing questions, for example: \u00EF\u0082\u00B7 What economic and social class of person do you think would consider settlement? \u00EF\u0082\u00B7 Do you think the primary sources were created with this class in mind? Why? EXTEND THE ACTIVITY Create a poster to encourage settlement in British Columbia. What do you think people from the 1800s would be interested in when thinking about coming to British Columbia? What would British Columbia have to offer new settlers? Make sure to include this in your poster.
