Max的好玩作業

前不久Max在學習PIONEER早期加拿大移民先驅的單元時做了一項好玩的PROJECT大作業，他自選的是General Store早期加拿大移民開的那種小雜貨店。

Max還在鞋盒裏做了一個雜貨店，他賣衣服、鞋、布，針線、水桶、雨傘、糖果、書本等，生活必需品應有盡有，哈哈。

舊時的小雜貨店是人們信息交流、娛樂活動的場所，Max在店中央擺了一個小棋桌。

我們全家人都幫助了Max的雜貨店，興致勃勃地出主意找貨品，就象玩過家家一樣。雜貨店的貨有些是姐姐小時候玩具裏的，有些是新買的，有些是自己做的。最後Max的雜貨店獲得老師同學的一致稱讚。

為了Max班的同學們更好地理解體會早期加拿大移民們的生活，我在網上查到一個早期移民麵包的方子，用麵、水、楓樹糖漿等給他們製作了一個麵包，今天一早Max高高興興動帶到學校去了。

下麵是Max寫的論文。

The General Store

        
Ageneral store in the times of the pioneers sold a variety of goods. Some thingswere homemade and some things were ordered. Pioneers bought things like coffee,fabric, candy, medicines and cooking appliances. Pioneers usually also met up ata general store. They went there to get new information, too. Most peoplewouldn’t use money to buy things. They would usually use a bartering system, inother words, trading.

        
Ageneral store was usually a family business. Once a child was old enough, he orshe would help out around the store. When a family grew, the business couldalso grow. A general store also served as a post office. When the storekeeperbrought in a sack of mail, everyone would gather around. Most early generalstores were supported by the Hudson Bay Company. These general stores couldn’tmeet the needs of growing settlements.
