Max的好玩作业

前不久Max在学习PIONEER早期加拿大移民先驱的单元时做了一项好玩的PROJECT大作业，他自选的是General Store早期加拿大移民开的那种小杂货店。

Max还在鞋盒里做了一个杂货店，他卖衣服、鞋、布，针线、水桶、雨伞、糖果、书本等，生活必需品应有尽有，哈哈。

旧时的小杂货店是人们信息交流、娱乐活动的场所，Max在店中央摆了一个小棋桌。

我们全家人都帮助了Max的杂货店，兴致勃勃地出主意找货品，就象玩过家家一样。杂货店的货有些是姐姐小时候玩具里的，有些是新买的，有些是自己做的。最后Max的杂货店获得老师同学的一致称赞。

为了Max班的同学们更好地理解体会早期加拿大移民们的生活，我在网上查到一个早期移民面包的方子，用面、水、枫树糖浆等给他们制作了一个面包，今天一早Max高高兴兴动带到学校去了。

下面是Max写的论文。

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.
