Social Studies 10 covers Canadian history from the arrival of European explorers 500 years ago up to the early 1900s. Through these 400 years of history we will learn about the first French and English colonies in North America, the division of the continent with the American Revolution in 1776, the Confederation of the British North American colonies in 1867 and the taking of the West after that. In addition to this historical study, we will examine four different First Nations cultures before the arrival of Europeans and basic Geography and mapping skills.
