--------------------
I don't have the booklet at home with me, but you're probably right. If there's no questions for peacekeeping then it must only be questions about the FTA.

-French Victory

Maybe a little bit more detail, but you've got the idea.

I'm guessing that you're doing the "Canada's Symbols" worksheet, so try this website:

No, you don't. The information in your textbook is too out of date.
For the question about the "Maple Leaf Forever" song; the website doesn't have these lyrics; the lyrics in that section are from a different maple leaf song by the same composer.
Do you want us to find the real lyrics to the "Maple Leaf Forever" song or just simply ignore the question?
Just ignore it. They used to have the lyrics on this page.

Check your textbook, Canada: A Nation Unfolding. Look for conscription crisis in the index, or look for it under Louis St. Laurent, or Mackenzie King.

They're up on the walls in my classroom. I don't have any electronic examples at home with me.

Don't bring it in on a floppy!!! Either send it to me by e-mail, or burn it to a CD or bring it in on a "jump drive" (USB drive).

I'm assuming you mean Canada Today. Sorry, I don't have a copy of that book at home with me. I know that there were people that did get the publishing information from the book. Maybe if you ask nicely, someone will post it here.

----------------------
Basically, this is part of the Peninsular Wars (battles fought on the Iberian peninsula, in Spain and Portugal.) Napoleon thought the European continent was vulnerable to a British invasion through Portugal so Napoleon attacked and captured Lisbon. That's enough on that topic.
What specifically, can't you remember about the film? You refer to what "he" was thinking, are we talking about Napoleon? Wellington?
Hi Mr. Gilchrist
I don't have my "Napoleon's Conquest Chart"
Is it possible you could please just give me the headings/titles for what you expect to be on the chart?
Thanks,

-----------------------
I think that you have to remember that Wellington studied Napoleon's battle techniques extensively. He had respect for Napoleon as a general and a tactician, but he didn't like the megolomania aspects of Napoleon's personality (desire to conquer Europe). Here's a link that will help you better understand the infantry "square" formation: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Infantry_square
i only know the initials of the people who wrote Canada Today. but the authors are CF Smith, DJ McDevitt, AL Scully. copyright 1996. it was published in Scarborough Ontario by Prentice-Hall Canada Inc.
i dont know where to look for infomation for the Waterloo Film study thing?
i don't remember why napoleon and wellington had doubts about the outcome of the battle, was it because the rain had changed the battlefield or what??
what page was the map on in the textbook?
For the French-English timeline, if I want to give reference to Wikipedia and I searched for many different topics, do I have to site every topic or can I just site Wikipedia. If so, how would I write the reference?
what words were used to describe Napolean at the beginning of the battle?
I really can't remember

---------------------
Definitely the rain played a factor in the battle. You might also remember in the film a point where Napoleon believes that he has won the battle and Wellington believes that he is losing the battle, and then the Prussians show up and swing the tide in favor of the British.
what page was the map on in the textbook?
-------------------
I'm assuming you're a Social 10-1 student. I want to say it's on page 301 or 310. It should be in Chapter 17 if that helps.
what words were used to describe Napolean at the beginning of the battle?

"Monster". "Thief of Europe".
hi
for the royal anthem "god save the queen" part of our symbols sheet it asks What is the Royal Anthem?
does this mean what is the anthem called?

--------------------------
You must cite every article individually. Please print off pages 22-25 of this PDF from the Churchill wesbite (it can be found here: http://schools.cbe.ab.ca/b857/SchoolSite/docs/Agenda%20book%20on%20website%20updated%20sept%2028%202006.pdf), and follow an Internet article example, probably with no author, since it's Wikipedia.

mr. gilchrist is our timeline suposed to be order of the dates or does it matter??

------------------
It should be in the chronological order. Split up the WWI and WWII conscription crises, if that's what the trouble is. Okay Roxy?
if we are doing the timeline on paper does the years have to to be in proportion and to scale? So there is a smaller space between events 3 years apart than 10 years apart?

That would make sense, but I'm not a real stickler for that.

Were you watching? Use of marching infantry, artillery (canon), cavalry charges, Napoleon attempts to split Wellington's forces, hiding troops down the reverse slope to prevent Napoleon from having many artillery targets etc.

Label and color the map where Canadians have served as peacekeepers. You don't have to color the oceans, or countries where there hasn't been peacekeeping operations.
