Students will explore life during the fur trade through a look at the people, their work, and their daily lives. Students will also have opportunity to design and build a fur trading post and/or a birchbark canoe, as well as analyze and compare life during the fur trade with life today. This project involves a combination of synchronous (real-time) instruction, teacher check-ins, and student independent (asynchronous) work. This project is best suited for students that have access to technology but may be adapted as a printable project.
