TASK:  Research Sources 1914-1929 1929-1945 1945-1982

 TASK: 

To create an memory box containing various artifacts from the time periods covered in this course as if they belonged to a particular Canadian

You will, at the beginning of the course, create a fictional historical Canadian character,  who will live through all of the following time periods:

i)    1914-1929

ii)   1929-1945 

iii)  1945-1982 

At the end of each topic, you will consider what events might have most significance for that character and you will place an artifact or artifacts in your shoebox which represents those events for your character with an explanation of why it is most significant for him/her.

At the end of the year, you will select the 3 events that were most significant in shaping that person's life and explain why using the significance criteria and considering the perspectives of your character and the other people involved.
