Looking for a Canadian Hero? How about Laura Secord...

Recently, grade 7 students were asked to complete biographies on a hero if the War of 1812. Students were asked to consider what it might have been like to be involved in this pivotal battle and were to ask their historical figure three questions.

The movie below is an excellent example of impeccable research and a fantastic portrayal of multiple perspectives. Another case of outstanding projects from the grade 7 Social Studies class!
