Canadian Historical Wrongs Stations
- PDF
What educators are saying
Description
This is my most frequently downloaded resource!
These stations overview 10 areas of discrimination in Canada's history known as historical wrongs. You can do this tricky topic justice! These 10 stations can be distributed around your classroom while students circulate, engaged by the visuals, historical photographs, and engaging overview of information. The 3-page student response sheet is in fill-in-the-blank and short comprehension question format and ends with 2 personal response questions. Each station has an optional QR code that students can access with a device that has a QR-code reader downloaded on it (available for free download at your app store). The YouTube videos are short (avg. 5 minutes) and expand on the topic in a visual way so that students can hear apologies from politicians, stories from survivors, and hear a personal side to each historical wrong. No QR-Code reader? You can easily get them up on a screen via YouTube for everyone to watch together or choose to skip the videos.
This resource can be used as a part of a larger unit, see my unit on Canadian Historical Wrongs that includes several scaffolding activities leading up to an engaging PBL that I have had excellent success with in my own classroom. Find that unit here:
