Activities
There are two types of activities: Package Activities and Object Activities.
Package Activities are project-based activities designed to accommodate one or more classes. These activities involve the use of historical thinking concepts while exploring the whole package, resulting in a more comprehensive experience.
Object Activities are short inquiry-based activities that typically take 5–25 minutes. These activities encourage students to think critically about the objects being presented, and to use historical thinking concepts.
Both types of activities were created with the guidance of educators from across Canada, and incorporate current educational theory and approaches.
