Communities Long Ago
Grade 3 · Social Studies · Comparing Communities Past and Present · Quebec, 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.
