Grade 10 Canadian History students undertake World War II artifact analysis

This past week the Grade 10 Canadian History students were excited to welcome a visitor to our class. Marc Keirstead, who is a former teacher in York Region, Governor General Award winner for Teaching History and York University professor spent the day at Pickering College. He brought a wide variety of materials from the 1930s and 1940s including artifacts, uniforms and paper documents. Students were given the opportunity to try on samples and explore the times through artifact analysis. The day was to assist them in their World War II album projects which they are presently completing for our course.
