Additional Websites to Help Make Your Character – Check it out!
Travel back in time and imagine YOU are actually the character from Canadian history! Who are you? What is your name? How old are you? What will you wear? Where are you from?
Here are some additional websites to help. If you have an explorer, you likely have information on my previous blog post of websites found here. Please also use the books provided in class to find out about life in the time period you are investigating. If you are having trouble finding information, please be a risk-taker and a good communicator – ASK Ms. D for help and we will find you something!
