- Today you're going to work with one of the following events in Canadian history.
- The very first fur trade between Europeans and natives.
- Battle of the Plains of Abraham
- A test flight of the Avro Arrow
- Signing of the Charter of Rights and Freedoms in 1982
- The life of a Prime Minister
- If you have other ideas, run it by the teacher
- You will need to briefly research your event.
- Your job is a simple one, yet amazingly complex. You are going to take your incident and identify six key moments.
- You are then going to act out each of these six main events and take pictures of it.
- Consider carefully how you can get a picture that makes you think of the event.
- How can you make people think a war is going on? What sort of a background would look both military and old fashioned?
- How could you show the Charter being signed? What would it take to make someone look like Queen Elizabeth or Pierre Trudeau?
- Can you create simple costumes for the events you're depicting?
- Write down your plan for each picture so the teacher can see that you have ideas that make sense.
- You will pick one picture of each key moment. This picture should visually explain that moment.
- You will then compile your six pictures into a visual story that tells about the Incident without using any words.
