Recap 2 mins (8:20-8:22)
Wolfe vs. Montcalm, the British took over Louisbourg, then they wanted to take down the fortress of
Quebec to conquer New France. We will get to the actual conquering of New France next week, but for
now I want to make sure you understand the positions of the French and the British.

Half the class will complete the Venn Diagram assignment, then the other half will do the strengths and
weaknesses, and then we’ll come together. You may work/collaborate with others. You may use that chart
we did last week on strategies, forts, etc. to help complete your chart. 35

Tomorrow we will look into the Acadian people and their role in the struggle for control of NOrth America
Reflections:
This lesson went well! The students responded well to this activity, and the timer on the board
really helped with staying on track and timing. The collaboration was good, students got to work
with people they usually don’t, and weaker students were able to get more out of the activity.
The Kahoot was a fun way to wrap up everything we’ve learned so far, and ended right on time.
