(Choo Choo!)

Assignment #10 (or what ever assignment you are on,) Diary/letter

Video, Words, more words Get your facts straight! Check out some of these links I have posted for information, but don't stop there make sure you are writing with Historical Accuracy. It's History class after all!

So here's the scoop: For this awesome worky work you be writing in the perspective of someone during the 1880s when the great Canadian Railroad was being built.

You will either write it as a diary entry (by one of the workers on the track, or one of the head honchos in charge of all the workers. Like how you are SUPER stressed about dead lines, how workers have died but you can't stop production, etc), But don't let that limit you! You can write from perspective of a relative/family member of someone who has died in construction, anything!

Or it could be a letter writen from someone involved/affected by the railroads production.

There is alot of room to be creative here! But if you are chosing to vary from the beaten path, just make sure to tell Miss. Pollock or myself so we can give you the "GO!" sign.
