A Think Tank for "An Introduction to Canadian History"

Author crerick1

Welcome to my e-portfolio! Don't let the smooth navigation of my page fool you into thinking I'm a pro... I don't have a clue. Surprisingly I am a very average person who likes to do average things. This would easily classify me as basic. I play on the TRU Women's Basketball team which takes up a lot of my time. Outside of that I enjoy hiking, snowboarding, camping, you know basic outdoor things. I hope that my page will allow readers to understand how I implemented things from my life into my history course and vice versa. Although being a basic humanoid, I hope that my life experience will allow me to interpret the learned material in a new way.

Reading Log 2 (because number one sucked)
