You could be the editor, columnist, journalist, or publisher. Your paper, "The Radical Rebel," explores controversial issues, diverse perspectives, the lives and times of citizens of both Upper and Lower Canada, and events surrounding the rebellions of 1837. As an employee of the paper you will apply various conflict resolution strategies within some of the articles you write. These articles will reflect your abilities to recognize the nature of conflict, strategies for resolution, and possible outcomes of selected strategies. Furthermore, these articles will demonstrate your understanding of the complex issues and personalities that surrounded the political situation in Upper and Lower Canada in 1837. Unit Summary Through the exploration of relevant past and present day conflicts, students will understand the nature of conflict: its definition, the different types of conflict, and their causes. They will be provided with several opportunities to apply various conflict resolution strategies in real-world situations and evaluate their effectiveness. Implicit within the nature of conflict is the element of change. Students will examine the change/conflict/change pattern found in both historical and present day events and will probe how change occurs as a consequence of conflict. Concepts acquired through the exploration of present day conflict and resolution will be applied to the study of the historical events of the Rebellions of Upper and Lower Canada in 1837. Through examination of historical documents, students will research and analyse the issues, key personalities and opposing points of view involved in these rebellious conflicts. Much of the application of the concepts will take the shape of written responses, a role play, an interview, and the final editing of newspaper creations. Work throughout the unit will be collected in individual student portfolios and used in conjunction with the final newspaper creation. Culminating Task Assessment You are a reporter working for the newspaper, the "Radical Rebel," gathering information and evidence surrounding conflict and change, specific historical events, and key personalities in the Rebellions of Upper and Lower Canada in 1837. You will investigate the nature of conflict and change and its resolution using examples from the past and applying skills developed throughout the unit. Links to Prior Knowledge The following items represent the prior knowledge students will have at the start of this unit. The list covers both the present material and the historical information. New France British North America Personal definition of nature of conflict Research skills. Conversion of jot notes to paragraph reports Persuasive, expository writing Upper and Lower Class French-English relations Religion Old Regime Considerations Written using the Ontario Curriculum Unit Planner 3.0 PLNR2002 Official Version Open Printed on Jul 19, 2005 at 3:00:50 PM Page A-1 Unit Overview Conflict and Change Page 2 Its nature and patterns An Integrated Unit for Grade 7 Notes to Teacher Issues discussed in the conflict section of this unit may be of a sensitive nature. A letter home at the onset of the unit may address potential questions or concerns. Teachers unfamiliar with conflict resolution are encouraged to look into a variety of conflict resolution programs found in schools as well as the websites suggested. Given the numerous writing assignments of the unit, especially the culminating activity, there are opportunities for integrating Language Arts expectations. Specifically those expectations associated with writing for audience, purpose, voice, and tone can be explored. Since much of the writing is an extension of role playing, prior experience with this drama technique is essential. Students cannot be expected to simply "pick up" on the role playing but will require explicit training. Students should have familiarity with the layout and contents of a newspaper. Teachers should begin to gather examples of editorials to use later as a resource in the teaching process.

Based on the student responses, the class should construct a consensus definition. Students examine an historical case study to illustrate the key concepts of conflict, consequences, and the responsibilities of a newspaper reporter. 2 Picture This Student will learn about the nature of conflict by examining and identifying the various types of conflict. Students will generate interview questions to investigate the selected conflict. In addition, students will use investigative skills to generate questions and headlines and construct diagrams. 3 Causes of Rebellion in Upper Canada Students will learn about the nature of causation. Students will investigate key historical documents that typify the sentiment and causes of the rebellions of Upper Canada. Students will identify key causes and concerns as revealed through research or selected primary sources. ** Students will debate the differing points of view and begin to predict the consequences of a sequence of events. As well students will select and employ strategies from previous subtasks to suggest potential resolutions to the differing historical points of view. 4 Causes for Rebellion in Lower Canada Students will examine a variety of sources dealing with the events of the Rebellion of 1837 in Lower Canada. Students will then learn about the events of both rebellions creating a series of manipulative activities including charts, diagrams, and note-taking. Students will develop time lines, character sketches, and points of view to express their understanding of these events and personalities. Students will express differing points of view and eyewitness accounts of events through creative writing and drama activities. These creative writing pieces will be added to the students' portfolios and later incorporated into the culminating activity. 5 Famous Personalities of the Rebellions Students will examine a variety of sources dealing with the key personalities surrounding the Rebellions of 1837 in Upper and Lower Canada. Students will learn about the key personalities creating a series of activities including charts, diagrams, and note taking. Students will develop time lines and character sketches, and expressive points of view to communicate their understanding of these personalities. Students will express differing points of view and write

Conducted in the form of a workshop with instructor and students both participating, a chronological frame is followed although individual sessions will pursue separate themes revealing the changing politics, society and economy. Each session, of which there will be two per weekly meeting, will include a brief introduction to the topic by the instructor, and then a verbal report prepared by a student, followed by questions and discussion. Assigned readings should make the discussion informative. Readings will be from prescribed texts, internet and library sources and handouts. There will be no mid-terms in this course. Reports will be made by students throughout the course; the essay themes can be the same as the reports—needless to say a superior performance will be expected in written work. There will be ONE essay and a final examination.

Over several decades, a large stock market, high taxes on inherited income, a sound institutional environment, and capital account openness accompa- nied the rise of widely held firms. At mid-century, the Canadian large cor- porate sector was primarily freestanding widely held firms, as in the mod- ern large corporate sectors of the United States and United Kingdom.

Tefferv! THE DAY OF SIR JOHN MACDONALD A Chronicle of the First Prime Minister of the Dominion BY SIR JOSEPH POPE K. C. M. G. TORONTO GLASGOW, BROOK & COMPANY 1915 PREFATORY NOTE WITHINa short time will be celebrated the centenary of the birth of the great statesman who, half a century ago, laid the foundations and, for almost twenty years, guided the destinies of the Dominion of Canada. Nearly a like period has elapsed since the author's Memoirs of Sir John Macdonald was published. That work, appearing as it did little more than three years after his death, was necessarily subject to many limitations and restrictions. As a connected story it did not profess to come down later than the year 1873, nor has the time yet arrived for its continuation and completion on the same lines. That task is probably reserved for other and freer hands than mine. At the same time, it seems desirable that, as Sir John Macdonald's centenary approaches, there should be available, in convenient form, a short r6sum6 of the salient features of his vii viii SIR JOHN MACDONALD career, which, without going deeply and at length into all the public questions of his time, should present a familiar account of the man and his work as a whole, as well as, in a lesser degree, of those with whom he was intimately associated.

Steedman Submitted to the Graduate Faculty as partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Doctor of Philosophy Degree in History The University of Toledo August 2019 This dissertation is a cultural history of the American reaction to the Upper Canadian Rebellion and the Patriot War. This project is based on an analysis of newspaper articles published by William Lyon Mackenzie and his contemporaries, diplomatic cables between Washington D.C. and London, letters, and accounts of celebrations, toasts, and public meetings which occurred between 1837 and 1842. I argue Americans and Upper Canadians in the Great Lakes region made up a culture area. By re-engaging in a battle with the British, Upper Canadians, and their American supporters sought redemption. Reacting to geographic isolation from major metropolitan areas and a looming psychic crisis motivated many of these individuals to act.
