Creative Writing: Has Canada Always Been a Safe Place?

Creative Writing: Has Canada Always Been a Safe Place?

Students will choose a Canadian historical event, research it thoroughly, and then write a story based on the event placing themselves or a fictitious character(s) within the historical event.  Their story will include the historical event setting and characteristics that describe the specific time period and event in history.  By reading and analyzing texts and photos of the event they chose, students will gather the background information needed to create their own story.  Learning will be enhanced by technology infusion and the incorporation of 21 Century learning competencies.  Students will make a “Historical Moment” advertisement for TV using green screen technology as a method of promoting their historical story.
