Beavers Were Made Into What??

LOOK AT THIS
Now that I have your attention, I just finished my final project for the year in humanities. The project was about the fur trade in New France and how it impacted the ecosystem and the indigenous people living there. I learnt a lot in this project, I went from not knowing what and where New France was to where it was and how it was involved with everything at the time.
My favourite part of this project was the social experiment game, for the game you’d be split into 4 different groups which were 2 indigenous groups and 2 European groups. We (1 of the 2 indigenous groups) were told to trade with the Europeans with out “beaver pelts”. In the end my group somehow won because we had a lot of the European things and none of the pelts left.
After the simulation was done we went on with the normal classes, making ads and stuff for the final project.
overall It was a fun project and I learnt a lot about Canada’s history, I’d give the unit like a 7/10  if I was rating it.
until next time, goodbye!
