Communities Long Ago

Grade 3 · Social Studies · Comparing Communities Past and Present · Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada

Lesson Summary

Communities in the past looked and worked very differently from communities today.

Explanation

Long ago, most communities were small and people grew their own food, built their own homes, and made their own clothes. There were no cars, computers, or electric lights. People traveled by horse or on foot. Schools had one room for all ages. Life was harder in many ways, but people still came together to help each other, celebrate, and raise families—just like today.
