SS 11: Notes from Mon 07 Freb

In today's class we did some first-hand historical exploration.  I gave every student a Canadian army insignia and we posed some inquiry questions to investigate these artifacts.  It was interesting to see how quickly people found detailed information on the badges.  Many students had badges from regiments that were at Dieppe or Ortona - is it possible that these artifacts were also there?  Who wore the other badges?  Were they worn overseas?  We did not do a writing assignment on this activity; I thought that a paragraph might have taken the fun out of the search for the factoids.

Please ensure you have all of the textbook chapter questions on the Second World War completed for next class - YOU WILL BE HAVING A QUIZ AND THE QUESTIONS WILL COME RIGHT FROM THE QUESTION SHEET.
