Larry Ferlazzo's "The Best Sites To Learn About Canada"
- I've posted Larry's resources multiple times on the site, here is a page he's
curated with some great resources to learn all about Canada!
Path of the Elders- An amazing website about First Nations culture and heritage as described by the Mushkegowuk Cree and Anishinaabe Ojibway Elders.- Teachers can access primary source videos, letters, photos and audio clips, as well as detailed lesson plans.- Very user friendly and great for students!!- Bonus points for being so close to home (Ontario-based)- http://www.pathoftheelders.com/
Sir John A Day
- A website celebrating the first Prime Minister of Canada, Sir John A MacDonald.
- Teachers can access historical timelines, video lectures and teacher/student
resource packages.
- Great website to use with your students.
* The video I included earlier in this post about confederation came from this site!
Canada's First Peoples- An interactive website about Canadian history.- Teachers can use this to obtain sources for your classroom or use it with your students.- Yay for Canadian material!- http://firstpeoplesofcanada.com/index.html
Manitobia- This website provides a detailed archive of Manitoba-based archives including photos, videos, newspapers, letters, public documents, etc.- Teachers can use this website to gather primary sources for their lessons plans and students can use this website to research reliable material for projects.- Yay for local information!- http://www.manitobia.ca/
National Geographic Kids: Countries- This website provides information on different countries around the world. Students can explore information about geography, nature, history, culture and more! It provides textual information and multiple pictures as well. - It does not have EVERY country, but still provides valuable information.- http://kids.nationalgeographic.com/kids/places/
Canada 1812 - Forged in Fire- This website features film clips, informational articles, images, and an incredibly detailed (over 100 pages) graphic novel all about the War of 1812 and the inspiring people who took part in it.- This website really pays attention to detail and I used to multiple times when I covered the War of 1812 with my Grade 11 students. We even used the graphic novel as inspiration to create our own to use to teach the younger grades about what we learned!- http://canada-1812.ca/
