Activity 3: Instagram Confederation- a Snapshot Into Canadian Citizenship Activity 3: Instagram Confederation- A Snapshot into Canadian Citizenship A picture is said to be worth a thousand words. In this activity, we challenge you to think critically about what it means to be a Canadian Citizen. Using our Instagram page, or using your own individual instagram account, upload one photo that you feel adequately depicts what Canadian Citizenry means to you. Below, provide a brief description of what is being shown in your photo. Account - @Guardians_Of_Confederation Password – Confederation Name: Terry Citizenship is more than just a permanent residence within a country. It is a way of life – a soft pride that can bee seen from the smallest coastal nook to the largest metropolis. Activity 4: Live-tweeting Women of Confederation (a short film) For this project, you will be asked to view a film titled: Women of Confederation directed by JoDee Samuelson. This film is less than 10 minutes long and covers themes surrounding women's rights, equality, and the way that women’s voices were suppressed during the 19th century. While watching the short film, participants are asked to 'Live Tweet' their responses, emotions, thoughts, and reactions to the film’s content. Please try not to censor your first opinions and feelings in your tweets. Some examples of potential hashtags to use when tweeting are provided in the sample project below. Participants are also encouraged to tweet @GuardiansofConfederation. We will be reading and responding to your tweets! Link to the film: ______ (to be provided as soon as the film is uploaded online) Example Live Tweets: @guardiansofconfederation behind every good man is a better women! #womenrock #womenofconfed How different would #Canada be if women's voices were heard at the Charlottetown Conference #1864 I wonder how much influence Mrs.MacDonald had on John A.'s thinking? #womenrule #womenofconfederation Could men have survived the Charlottetown Conference without strong females in their lives? #womenleaders Activity 5: Confederation: Let’s Make a Change (or Not). In 1864, there were several reasons that brought the Fathers of Confederation to Charlottetown to discuss the notion of joining together into one great nation. When Confederation occurred in 1867, there were six main reasons that caused the British colonies to come together to form a unified country. These reasons included: 1. Political Deadlock 2. Need for a Railway 3. End of Free Trade with the US Reciprocity Treaty 4. Threat of American Expansion 5. Great Britain wanted colonies to be self-sufficient 6. Expansion into the West These topics were all valid concerns facing government leaders during the time period. Prior to beginning this activity, examine each of reasons from Confederation using an external source. In doing so, we would like you to determine why each of the six reasons was particularly important to the Fathers of Confederation. Now: imagine that you are attending the Charlottetown Conference, but now it is taking place in 2014. We are looking to reinvent Confederation using your ideas. You are ready to make a new country, with your fellow Peoples of Confederation. Imagine that you are the representative of your province, region, or community and it is your duty to bring forward concerns or considerations for the upcoming conference. You could include things that you think should be changed, created, or preserved. It is your job to photograph the “items” (your concerns and/or considerations) in question and provide a short description as to whether this aspect of the new country should be changed, created, or preserved. Ensure that you defend your answer with a few sentences of text. Feel free to submit multiple photographs, if you feel that there is more than one item that should be taken into consideration at the 2014 Charlottetown conference. I believe that for the upcoming Charlottetown conference it is important that we discuss the preservation of our naturally beautiful landscapes, shorelines, and resources in Prince Edward Island. As a new country it is important that we maintain our natural beauty and our ability to take advantage of the resources that our land and water provide. Both natural and manmade changes to environmental factors are creating concerns for the current ecosystems. Without preservation of such natural elements there is potential for decline in tourism, as well as the fishing and farming industries. As a new nation we must stand up and protect and preserve the naturally beautiful landscapes, shorelines, and resources in Prince Edward Island. Activity 6: Write an Article for the 1864 Charlottetown Herald For this assignment, we would like you to write a newspaper clipping as though you are a reporter from “The Charlottetown Herald” covering the events of the 1864 Charlottetown Conference. You can focus on a particular day, meeting event, social event or can give a general report on what was taking place at the Charlottetown Conference. You are encouraged to approach the assignment as if you were a reporter of the Charlottetown Herald in 1864, while expressing the views and the writing style of the newspaper. This means, that you will have to go back to the Charlottetown Herald archives and learn about the newspaper’s opinions on the conference, and Confederation in general. Instructions: 1. Choose an event from the Charlottetown conference (a particular day’s event, a social event, progression within a meeting, a general description of what is taking place, citizens of PEI’s response to the meeting taking place in PEI, etc.) 2. Create a short newspaper article while maintaining the views and writing styles of Island Newspapers (The Charlottetown Herald) at this time. 3. The following link will be helpful as you can read actual newspapers from the time: http://islandnewspapers.ca/islandora/object/newspapers%3A71/newspaper_about Be sure to use the internet or text resources to provide an accurate picture of the newspaper’s views. 4. Be sure to include a visual that represents your newspaper article. For example, an imitation of an “original” black and white photo of the Fathers of Confederation partaking in an event. (Feel free to get creative and make your own photos or drawings of the event you are portraying). 5. You can upload their newspaper article as a word document, or you can take a picture of their newspaper article if you wish to make it look aged or unique. The Unexpected Circus September 3, 1864 Excitement is in the air. Finally, after far beyond that of just the maritime provinces. twenty years, the circus has arrived in town. As a matter of fact, it appears the idea of a People of all ages are taking in the fun and maritime union has been completely forgotten. festivities in the downtown Charlottetown Although the meetings about this area. But masked behind the clowns, acrobats, confederation are closed to all reporters, it is music and animals is a circus of a different easy to see that these men are making the kind. most of their time in Charlottetown. Word of a maritime union has spread The representatives from New to the province of Canada, and representatives Brunswick, Nova Scotia, PEI and Canada from Canada have requested an invite to the have been indulging in social events, conference currently being held in luncheons, and grand balls. Who knows how Charlottetown. With them, they have brought long these festivities will be taking place, and the notion of creating an entirely new nation. what will come out of this conference. While Representatives of Nova Scotia, New negotiations are currently taking place behind Brunswick and the province of Canada closed doors, and there are many speculations arrived in the province a few days ago and and uncertainties, one thing is for sure; the have been having their own kind of circus-like idea of this new confederation is not entirely festivities. They began talking two days ago accepted by the people of PEI. There are about the possibilities of a confederation, and certainly hesitations in forming this new wish to expand a nation nation, but we will see how the following meetings unfold. As the circus packs up to move on to the next city, the men of PEI, Nova Scotia, New Brunswick and Canada remain caught up in their own circus, filled with island excursions, parties, champagne and meetings on confederacy. By: Michelle M. Activity 7: Find Out Who Your Father (of Confederation) Is… In this activity, you will complete a quiz, to determine which Father of Confederation best matches your personality. Link to the quiz: http://www.whosyourfather.ca/index.php?page=quiz After you have completed the quiz and determined which father of confederation best matches your own views, you will do some research about your particular Father of Confederation. From this research, you should construct something creative. This creation could be a poem, short story, exemplar text, drawing, or painting-- whatever you choose to do with the information you have found in your independent study. You should post the creative response to your research about your specific Father of Confederation on the Guardian’s website. This activity will link your ideas to the ideas of a specific Father of Confederation. Having this knowledge will prepare you for some of the activities that we will undertake at the conference in November. After doing some basic research about Grey, I wrote the following text... John Hamilton Grey John Hamilton Grey was born in 1811, as son of Robert Grey, a united empire loyalist from Virginia. Grey was educated in Charlottetown, where he chose a military career that would led him to England and into multiple British Army's. Although Grey enjoyed his time in the military, Grey would eventually come back to PEI, beginning his time in politics as a member of the conservative party for district fourth queens, in 1858.

You will, I am assured from all that is reported of your character, excuse a plain man, wholly out of politics himself (except in so far as every subject of the Queen and spectator of events Inay be said to be interested), for addressing you a few words of commentary on your own text. In justice to what may seem crude or impractical in my style or opinions, I may be permitted to introduce myself as one who has formerly had a good deal of commerce with the world; which lay, howeve~, more with the past generation than the present; whose notions may therefore be open to the imputation of old-fash- 6 ioned, but who has not, if he knows his own heart , lost anything of his early hatred of all oppression, or his early enthusiasm for the happiness and good government of all mankind.

Find it at historymuseum.ca/teachers-zone/stories-of-confederation. Act of Union, 1840 Passed by the British Parliament in July 1840 and proclaimed in February 1841, the Act of Union brought Upper and Lower Canada (present-day Ontario and Quebec) together under a single assembly and government, as recommended in the Durham Report. The two were now called the United Province of Canada, and were subdivided into Canada West and Canada East. Each region received an equal number of seats in the assembly; English became the sole official language. British Empire The term British Empire refers collectively to Britain’s overseas territories and colonies. At its height in the late 1800s and early 1900s, the British Empire spanned the globe, and came to be known as “the empire on which the sun never sets.” Britain supported Confederation because it believed that a single dominion would be easier to defend, and less costly to administer, than several small, separate colonies. British North America British North America refers collectively to the British colonies and territories of northern North America. The term was used mostly between 1783 and 1867, but it has a longer history. British North America The British North America Act was a law passed by the British Parliament Act, 1867 to create the Dominion of Canada as a domestically self-governing federation. The Act divided law-making powers between one federal parliament and several provincial legislatures, and it outlined the structure and operations of both levels of government.
