The
Maple Leaf Forever
Joe Tersigni, Head of Canadian and World Studies,
Our Lady of Lourdes High School, Guelph, Ont
.
Joe Tersigni explains how important the maintenance
of flags, both physical and emotional is to Canada's heritage and
respect. In the article Joe proclaims, "I am appalled at the
condition of some flags flying on outside flag poles in many cites
in this province. Many are worn, tattered, frayed and some even give
the perception that they have been shot at! Many have lost that rich,
bright, clear, distinct red and white colour. Many are no longer fitting
emblems for display on flagpoles. It was not meant to be this way."[top] |

Storytelling:
An Effective Strategy for Teaching History in the English as a Second
language Classroom and Beyond
By Julie Millan
In many classrooms around Canada today it is unlikely
that every student will have been born in Canada, and therefore, already
have some basic knowledge of Canadian History. For many of these students
new to Canada it can be an extremely difficult task to simply begin
to understand the curriculum presented to them. Julie Millan offers
alternative measures to motivate, learn and appreciate Canadian History
and at the same time provide students with the opportunity to use
and develop their English language skills through the strategy of
storytelling.[top] |
