Inquiry — Talk with Cuthbert Grant (Grade 10). As a class, pick or adapt one prepared question below — or write your own — then ask Grant. Vote before you send; debrief the answer before the next question.
Questions you might ask Cuthbert Grant
- When you sent Boucher forward alone, what calculation were you making about Semple — and about your own column?
- Why does pemmican belong in a unit on governance, not only food history?
- How should we weigh your deposition in the Coltman inquiry against company journals written afterward?
- What can Pierre Falcon's song show that a colonial archive cannot — and what can it not settle?
- How do you want students to hold the dead on both sides when they retell June 19?
- What lasting work after 1816 — Grantown, Warden of the Plains, hunt law — should sit beside the story of that morning?
- If a modern textbook calls Seven Oaks a "massacre," whose framing is doing the work?
- Our class question (write before you ask): ________________________________________________
