Minecraft Education - Changemakers of Canadian History (Grades 4-8)

Description

In this lesson, students will explore three impactful parts of Canadian History (the Canadian Pacific Railway, Viola Desmond, and the Truth and Reconciliation Commission). After exploring the impact of these events, students will have the opportunity to research present-day change makers, then consider how they may leave their own mark on Canadian history with an exciting design challenge. This Lesson has a focus on builds and creativity and would be a great supplement to teachers looking to develop how their students see themselves as part of Canadian History.
