"We’re the Canada people; we offer programs that you can use to explore, learn and reflect on our history, and what it means to be Canadian."

Students will view and react to the video/readings "GENERATION ONE: LIVING IN TWO WORLDS".

This PBL leads students to study and analyze people and events connected with "English Civil War and Glorious Revolution". The PBL includes disclosures for the students to consider and assessments (formative and summative). A PowerPoint of pictures of the historically important people is attached.

In the 21CC project the students will put together a trunk full of artifacts or ‘keepsakes’ from the perspective anyone who would have lived through the 1920s and 30s. The truck has to demonstrate the change the occurred over that 20 year span. The artifacts must be tangible (not only a picture of an artifact but a picture could be an artifact); could be original or replica (made by them). It follows the 6 phases of creativity with a student project guide and an artifact presentation rubric.

These rubrics were developed to aid in the study of the World Wars

It provides an attractive platform to cradle your phone while playing music, and it boosts the sounds level by 8-10 dB (decibels) while also distributing the sound around the room using a megaphone style sound enhancement.

As an added bonus, the project includes clever cable routing so that the amplifier can also be used as a charging station.
