Step 1: The Interview

When did they come to Canada?

 

What were their first impressions?

 

Why did they come to Canada?

 

Where did they come from?

 

Where did they travel?

 

Describe your emotions leaving one place to start a new life.

 

Include your OWN questions to enhance the interview.

 

Step 2: Historical Evidence

Back up your interview with historical evidence:

Primary Documents: The Interview, passports, pictures, documents, oral history, etc...

Other Documents: Maps, pictures, place names, etc...

 

Step 3: Analysis

Step 4: Putting it all Together

Please include the information from STEPS 1-3 in a duotang or folder with the rubrics. Present the information in a creative and interesting way by using the themes of the story of the persons you have interviewed.
