Gr. 7 Free Vocabulary Glossary: Time and Place New Alberta Social Studies Curriculum

Are your students struggling to talk and write about Canadian history using the correct terms? This free glossary fixes that.

Covering the full scope of Canada's journey from Confederation through the First World War to full independence from Britain, this resource gives students clear, accurate, classroom-ready definitions for the vocabulary this unit demands, including:

• Confederation and the constitutional foundations of Canada
• Métis history, the Red River Resistance, and the Northwest Resistance
• Treaties, reserves, and the Indian Act
• Immigration, the Chinese Head Tax, and the National Policy
• The Boer War and Canada's first overseas military involvement
• The First World War, from the Canadian Corps to Passchendaele
• Canada's path to full sovereignty, including the Statute of Westminster

All terms defined in plain, grade-appropriate language, organized to match how the unit unfolds chronologically, so students build vocabulary as they learn the content, not after.

Use it as:

• A word wall or vocabulary bulletin board set
• A pre-teaching tool before each new section
• A study guide for tests and the culminating project
• A quick reference for parents helping with homework

This glossary is offered completely free. It pairs with a full 142-page Time and Place resource covering this entire unit, built for teachers who don't have time this year to create materials from scratch for a brand-new curriculum.
