Are your students researching topics related to the history of Chinese in North America?
Chinese Canadian Stories
is a project that promotes the history of Chinese in North America.
One of the
main objectives is promotion of Grade 5-12 classroom use of both the trilingual portal
website (http://ccs.library.ubc.ca) and the digital materials through the
creation of learning resources and teaching materials that will use CHRP created
materials (http://www.chinesecanadian.ubc.ca), embedding the material within a
rethinking of the role of Chinese and First Nations peoples in the building of
the Canadian Pacific Railway and in building Canada.
Here are some of the neat things to check out:
- Stories: Who was the famous "China Clipper" and other engaging research questions (and answers). These would make fascinating Heritage Fair projects!
- Gold Mountain Quest: A video game that enables players to experience life as a Chinese Canadian youth in 1910, and explore historically accurate culture in the fictional town of Gold Mountain.
- History Docs: History Docs is a searchable collection of carefully selected sets of primary and secondary source documents for use as information sources about peoples, places, things and events in Canadian history.
