CONFEDERATION RESEARCH PROJECT
Part B
For our unit of Confederation we were asked to gather information on an assigned topic. The topic I was assigned was Manitoba and Confederation. Mr. Sawchuk gave us some key questions to answer about our assigned topic and we were instructed to build and add onto those key questions. We were told to use trusted sites online. I mainly used The Canadian Encyclopedia because it was a good and trusting online source. I learned how to access and acquire good online sources for information on my topic. In this project I was also able to learn how to organize all my notes onto a graphic organizer.
Part D
We were also asked to do and take research notes on the key questions we were given using books, online sources, videos and more. I was able to read up on the information I found and to recreate it into my own words. I also used citations for any information I borrowed from a source. We were told to use Chicago Style, with a minimum of 3 sources, in alphabetical order. I made my citations using a step by step sheet Mr. Sawchuk gave us at the beginning of the year.
This is a picture of my graphic organizer.

My 1 additional source of a voice not heard.
I chose Women as a voice that wasn’t very heard in the Confederation. I chose this because we did not really research about the role women had in the confederation during our project. The important women playing important roles in the confederation were named the Mothers of Confederation for example: Queen Victoria, Anne Brown, Mercy Coles, Luce Cuvillier, Lady Agnes MacDonald and Lady Dufferin. Even Macdonald wrote almost 150 years ago, “Volumes have been made on the Fathers of Confederation, but what about their wives and daughters, valuable record-keepers and political players in their own right?”
