Enduring Understandings British cultural traditions and political institutions have played a role in shaping Canadian history and identity. The history of governance in Canada is characterized by a transition from Indigenous self-government through French- British colonial rule to a self-governing confederation of provinces and territories. Canada continues to be influenced by issues of war and peace, international relations, and global interactions. Since the beginning of the 20th century, Canada has played an increasingly active role in work affairs through trade and development, military engagement, and participation in international organizations.

How To Vote via Texting EXAMPLE This slide is for display to the audience to show them how they will vote on your polls in your presentation. You can remove this slide if you like or if the audience is already comfortable with texting and/or voting with Poll Everywhere. Sample Oral Instructions: Ladies and gentlemen, throughout today’s meeting we’re going to engage in some audience polling to find out what you’re thinking, what you’re up to and what you know. Now I’m going to ask for your opinion. We’re going to use your phones to do some audience voting just like on American Idol. So please take out your cell phones, but remember to leave them on silent. You can participate by sending a text message. This is a just standard rate text message, so it may be free for you, or up to twenty cents on some carriers if you do not have a text messaging plan. The service we are using is serious about privacy. I cannot see your phone numbers, and you’ll never receive follow-up text messages outside this presentation. There’s only one thing worse than email spam – and that’s text message spam because you have to pay to receive it! Standard texting rates only (worst case US $0.20) We have no access to your phone number Capitalization doesn’t matter, but spaces and spelling do TIPS
