| contents | The Riel Rebellion: A Biographical Approach. Hou, Charles Hou, Cynthia Biographies Experiential Learning High Schools History Instruction Inquiry Instructional Materials Learning Activities Legal Education Resource Materials Student Research Units of Study Materials are provided for a unit of study that will help high school students learn about the life of Louis Riel, who as the leader of the Canadian Rebellion of 1885 led his followers into armed conflict with the Canadian government. Riel lived at a time of rapid change in western Canada. The extinction of the buffalo ended the people's nomadic way of life, and the coming of the railway brought an increasing number of white settlers to the West. When the Canadian government ignored the pleas of Riel and his people for help, rebellion broke out. The unit's seven chapters examine Riel's life and personality, the rebellion and surrounding events, and whether Riel was justified in leading his followers into armed conflict. Each chapter contains questions or facts for students to keep in mind as they read as well as student readings and activities. Students dramatize scenes, draw cartoons, prepare comic strips, view films, write newspapers, discuss readings in class, write plays and poetry, do library research, and participate in a mock trial. The unit concludes with a bibliography of additional resource materials and a subject index. (RM) |
