The Main Purpose of this ePortfolio:

There are many different aspects within the broad topic of History, however, this course focused on the aspects of childhood and education in Canadian History. When one learns about the History of Childhood and Education, they would find that both childhood and education have been a segregated and discriminated part in many children’s lives. This is evidently shown through many ways, such as with different races, disabilities, and inabilities. Throughout my ePortfolio I will address these issues of inequality in the lives of children and how this impacted their childhood and education. As evidence to support my argument, I will be using various reading analyses that we discussed in class and that pertains to my overall argument, my research from my topic of choice: Indian Residential Schools, and other reflections on the past.
